Verbwhore Mixes - Let's hear 'em!

[alan nagsworth]

Okay the old thread's inactive and long-dormant so I'm starting a new one!

So I've been quite heavily into mixing of late, I can't get enough of it. Mostly I've been beat-matching in Traktor (which is basically pro DJ software with mp3s instead of vinyl) and creating my first proper, solid mix of UK funky/house music, but I'm also really digging SoundForge for just pasting songs together outro-into-intro style and finding nice matches with ambient/drone/psychedelic/noise rock/freak folk music. As such I've found myself with two SoundCloud accounts - one for the club-friendly sync'd-up 130bpm choonz and one for the cut'n'paste full-track ambient/drone mixes. Here is some of wot I done did there:

So why no entry in the Mong A Mix competition?

[bitesize]

i gotta MixCloud page here: http://www.mixcloud.com/bitesizebeats/

mostly electronic beats type stuff (the sort of stuff i was talkin about in the thread called the beats funnily enough). various ones i've done for radio shows + podcasts over the last few years. some veering more towards the hip-hop end, some more towards the psychedelic, most recent one was more upbeat, a bit housey even.


also gotta SoundCloud page where you can download em (but not all of them are on there due to size restrictions): http://soundcloud.com/bitesizebeats


mine are all done in Albleton Live, lots of cutting, pasting, re-editing, layering. will check out yours too monsieur nagsworth, like the look of those first 2 psychedelic oddball ones.

[Harfyyn Teuport]

Really like those Alan, haven't heard Múm in aaaages, must dust off some of their old stuff. Will get cracking on bitesizebeats when I get home.

Here's a short mix I made of some recent(ish) productions of mine. Mixed on Serato, with drum machine assistance here and there. Goes from hip-hop to dubstep via a few other genres here and there. Hope you like..

Oooh, I have loads of these I've done in various genres from over the years. I'll start uploading some periodically.

[DJ One Record]

Since we're mentioning Mixcloud accounts here, I may as well cite mine:

http://www.mixcloud.com/centaclowns/

Currently contains five mixes that I've done on turntables/CD decks over the last three years, including the Amoebaflags mix that boki first premiered on CaB Radio earlier this year. They're mostly hip-hop based of varying tempo and mood, although I have a sixth more 'ambient' mix in the pipeline, just as soon as I can afford to buy a new mixer. My current one has finally conked out after about 7 years service.

On the subject of CaB Radio, you can also find the series of Bible Readings recordings I made for CaB Radio archived at http://soundcloud.com/centaclowns . I'm still looking to make some more on the off-chance that I get my shit together to host another show, so do let me know if you'd be interested in contributing a reading.

[quadraspazzed]

Here's a mix I did a few years ago that proved fairly popular amongst my friends and the time I gave it a whirl at my local anarchist "autonomous space" it went down a treat. My actual mixing/beatmatching skills are non existent though, but the tracks are great (well I would say that wouldn't I?)

[Puffin Chunks]

Just downloading these now (well, the ones that I can) to chuck on my iPod for future listening. Looking forward to listening to them over the coming days and hopefully discovering some new stuff through them too.

What's the deal with soundcloud? Are mixes ok there, even though they're technically copyright material? Is there any limit to the length of the mix or the number of tracks you can put up?

That's never stopped literally every person on SoundCloud, ever. Knock yourself out!

Is there any limit to the length of the mix or the number of tracks you can put up?

Yeah, two hours' worth of space unless you subscribe. It's mighty tempting.

[Pie Pie Eater]

This is the first mix I've done - it's pretty cut & pasty. my skills are extremely limited and I'm just using Logic.

I made a new live mix of more productions. It's only 19 minutes long and it encompasses some film and theatre work I've done, only re-purposed for mixing obviously.

[alan nagsworth]

I recorded a new mix last night that I've been working out for about a week or two. Dubstep tempo stuff, but the more quirky/introspective stuff and a few 'classic' laid-back numbers too. Makes for some eeeeeasy listening.
