It's been awhile since I made some house or techno house compilation. Not only I enjoy myself too much with 80's and 90's classic disco, but I notice there are so many house mixes around (check out my affiliates!). Whenever I wanna listen to them, all I have to do is just download from their sites.

But the problem with listening to others mixes is that: not all the songs in their mix are my favourites... Hue he he... Moreover, I cannot control "the energy" flowing from songs to songs. I personally don't like those compilation with the energy flow going: up and down... up and down from song to song... I know this is only a matter of preference.

One of most time consuming part in making my compilation is to arrange the playlist: songs selection from the library, play them and decide if they fit in the energy flow that I want to deliver in the mix... and then the most interesting part: deciding who should go before and after them. :)

Anyway, enough bla bla blaa... The uploads are done. Enjoy the compilation!!!

ELECTROCUTION

It's been awhile since my sister asked me to mix songs from her BodyJam classes at the gym: Where's Your Head At, Finally and When You Touch Me. Then, to find out which remixes they use in the class, I joined her for the class :P

The music was playing out loud, and the atmosphere was really hot and vibrating. Somehow I sensed that these music are delivering a totally different vibes to the normal house techno I usually mix in my Spotlight series. So instead of making another Spotlight, I've decided to specially mix a series of Electro House.

I've been gathering some Electro tracks these few days, and finally selected 12 of them for this compilation. It's amazing to see how creative people are in re-making these classic tunes to match the current trends.

Well, I've done my part! Now it's your turn... TURN UP THAT VOLUME TO THE MAX!!! ;)

When a friend asked me to mix slow songs, I thought the idea was absurd. Why would people mix slow songs? By "mixing", I mean matching these songs beat to beat, not just fade-in and fade-out at the end of every songs like most radios do. Furthermore, many slow songs run on different 'beat style'.

But learning that every songs are running on 'four-beat-bars rule', then this rule must also apply to slow songs which mean they are also "mixable". The challenge is to 'identify' the first beat and then start counting: 1.. 2.. 3.. 4.. Sounds easy, huh? Well, it's not! Becoz many slow songs aren't running with beats in the earlier part of the track.

The next step is by listening to others how they do it and learn their tricks. Check out my affiliates here cause there are lots of great mixtapes going on in their blogs!

So here is the result... my first slowmix. Hope you like them, cause I really enjoy making them. There are certainly more to come in the future.

Holiday Notice

As you may have noticed that my post "Remaking Goin' Eighties 1" has been removed. Yesterday, I found out my upload at 4shared for the compilation has been removed. It was stated that:

This file is no longer available because of a claim by International Federation of the Phonographic Industry.

Then this morning the blogger team told me that they have received a DMCA complaint to my blog and have decided to reset the post status to "Draft" to avoid legal actions. And I can republish the post with the offending content and/or link(s) removed.

Though it is not stated clearly which part is offending, I guess they are: Madonna's Like A Prayer or/and Whitney's I Wanna Dance With Somebody. I thought it was "OK" before since I mix the songs instead of posting them as singles. And being in the mix, the song was also "not complete".

I might mix them all over again removing both Whitney and Madonna after I return from my holiday next week. Or... I can just move on to my next project: The Roaring 90's.

Anyway, got a flight to catch soon... I'd better finished my packing up now. :)

For those celebrating moslem's new year, I would like to say:

"Selamat Hari Raya Idul Fitri"
Mohon maaf lahir dan bathin...

in other words:

"Happy Eid Celebration"

Remaking Goin' Eighties 2

When I did Goin' Eighties Session 2 back in May 2009, it was so damn hard and I got so frustrated mixing from song to song. Almost every songs were not running smoothly eventhough I had beat-matched them already.

Then I learn about a technic called pitch bending or pitch riding, which is constantly adjusting the beat of the incoming or outgoing song to match the other one. It consumes a lot of concentration, since I have to listen carefully to every beat that's running and keep matching them from time to time. Watching the graphic bar on my laptop screen doesn't help a lot since they can be wrong sometimes.

Not only that, Eighties dance songs aren't also as structured as nowadays dance songs (especially house and techno). And 'being me', who love to have a long transition from song to song, a lot of loopings are required.

HARD? Definitely!!! But this also got me hooked and addicted. The harder it becomes, the more curious and challenged I am. :D

So this time, I bring you back the 'REFINED' version of Goin' Eighties 2. Slightly retouch here and there, and smoother transition between songs (hopefully... LOL). Enjoy...!!! :)

Remaking Goin' Eighties 3

Among the Goin' Eighties series, the ones I'm not really satisfied with the results are Session 2 & 3. Session 3 was my first time mixing the 'swing-beat' music (the Milli Vanili and Soul II Soul type of beat) which i find quite different from the other types music I had mixed before.

This time, after learning a few more tricks, I give it another try. Not saying that it's gonna be perfect this time but I'm more happy with the result now. Still, it was not an easy job! A lot of pitch-riding involved here.

If you've listened to the earlier version: What do you think? Can you tell the difference? :D
