yo -

 

i thought id post this blog for you

 

DJ MELL from sweden - some of the mixes are proper nice with a load of dope tunes!!!

 

OG / classic style DJing - not much on the beatmatching front, but the material doesnt need or deserve it IMO...

 

"real soul mix" is one of my favourite mixes of all time - listened to it for yeeears...in fact, i think everything mell does is amazing - properly up my street, big time.

 

wont be lots of peoples tastes to be honest

 

(im thinking mattnice on this one (im sure youll appreciate the selections))

wicked - i get to share the love for 'real soul' mix haha!

 

ive put it on my memory stick and set a reminder to upload it when i get to the studio in the morning so i wont forget!

 

its a proper nice mix - the more i listen to it, the more i like it....ive not got bored of it for many years....

 

how the mix shifts and moves across the whole thing is really nice - work of a good DJ, in the truest sense of the word...theres not one tune beatmatched, and it really doesnt matter - how the selection actually works YOU as a listener is awesome and is the key to making it what it is...simple and plain.

 

i think that beatmatching kinda interupted the original DJ's skill to create a "movement" from start > end of a mix...i suppose - considered tune selection

 

ppl these days put stuff together just cos it "technically" mixes well, for want of a better phrase....rather than utilising the effect that the tracks actually have on you...

 

did you lot hear Camaro's old funk mix?! ....i should upload it for you if not - all mixed / blended / chopped....but with the 'old' aspects of DJing (selection & movement / mood etc) at the forefront of it all...its really good
