Summertime Mix!

[holden]

Hey dirties!

Hope everyone is enjoying/surviving summer thus far. Yes, the days are getting longer (and hotter than blazes in Houston!), and hopefully the nights are getting stronger...that's up to you.
Inspired by all this heat, i mixed some of my favorite dancefloor incinerators here. Some older (i.e. 1997), some rockier, hopefully somewhat enjoyable for however you're spending your summer days:

well seeing as summer here so far has brought nothing but endless rain, maybe this mix will cheer me up

[King of Snake]

btw are you mixing with decks or on a computer? Just listening to the mix and I'm hearing a lot of what sounds like timestreching artifacts and kinda strange glitches in the tempo.

Yup, a computer mix. But it's not done with Ableton. In fact, i'm embarrased at how low tech my set-up is!

I did some chopping and extending of intros/outtros, doubled up parts of the last track, etc. The mix is ~131 bpm, which was in the range of most of the tracks. "Bang On", however, is slowed by a fair share and pitchshifted to match the "Amp" intro (also slowed, which does affect the middle break drumsounds). Good ears, KoS!

[King of Snake]

so what are you using if not ableton?

The artifacts are very noticeable imo esp in the Fluke track. To be honest I find it hard to listen to, kinda makes me nausious (sorry if that sounds harsh )
