This is technically my best mix yet, with two accapellas and three decks used at one point.
It’s a latin funk & reggae mix that is quite summery (so Firestopper should like it ;)) Quite a few new tunes in this one, with my favourite producer of the moment Farm Fresh Sound System. Check out his myspace page http://www.myspace.com/farmfreshbeats and expect a few more of his tunes in future mixes. Quality skankin beats guaranteed to make you smile!
Overall I’m very happy with it, again mixed live in one take…..after a few botched attempts ๐

I almost didn’t download this because of the cover, I detest the simpsons, however once I peeked at the track list I knew I needed to grabe it!, glad I did! Very tasty mix. Loved it! This track was just marvilious! > “JuJu Orchestra – This Is Not A Tango” That’s a new one for me, excellent track! “Arkestra One- Train To Machu Pichu” is an old favorite of mine. First time I heard this track I must have played it 8 times in loop. Good feeling throughout the mix, well done!
‘This is not a tango’ is possibly the JuJu’s worst track that’s how good the rest of their album is!! Totally recommend it if you like ‘Tango’ and Arkestra 1.
I can always find room for Aht U Mi Hed!!
Dangerspouse & I have recently done a mix (well more of a blend tbh) that I’ll post in a few weeks full of tunes that make us smile. Something to look forward to….or not!!
I’ve loved all your mixes but you’ve really excelled yourself this time! I f*cking love this mix!!
Beautiful and varied selection of tunes, love how you slip in and out of the more traditional latin stuff with the dubby, jazzy, funky and soulful stuff. It’s brilliantly mixed too, some really clever and subtle mixes, and keeps the flow so well which is hard when you’re mixing up these sorta styles.
Tasty summer gorgeousness!

๐ฏ Wow! I’m so flattered!!!!!! I’m lost for words! Thanks just doesn’t seem enough!
I am proud of this one, especially as it takes my mixing to another level with the accapellas and all that…..although there are some bits that could have been better! ๐
I’ve gotta be honest and say that some of this is not really my cuppa tea but, by golly, the mixing is faultless on this! Very nicely done indeed! ๐
great call with the Farm Fresh Sound System – just chcked out their myspace – I hope “roots once again” gonna be on your next mix – if not baggsy I use it!!! ๐
Well, checked this last night and can only echo what some have said, v tight mixing – technically, you’re getting better and better – the dub be good pella, works excellently and overall a nice vibe. Not all the tunes were my cup of chai, and for me lost its way slightly in the middle (though could have been my mood ๐ ) anyway a VERY sound job!
PS – though I like the simpsons, wasn’t convinced with the cover/title! ๐
Cheers mate, can’t win ’em all!! It might have been your mood, or it’s just one of those things!
Cheers for the comments about the mixing, that means a lot. It feels like I’m gettin better, always nice to hear that echoed from someone else, especially from someone who has ‘been there and done it’
yeah – FWIW, I’m playing out at the big chill bar in a few weeks and actually have to use the decks for the first time in a while – been getting the rustiness out of the system – it feels good ๐
Will listen again this weekend – I was cooking pasta while listening last night – mind not fully on the job
I had a great time with this one.The technical aspect thrilled me & the selection was the icing on the cake.
Biggest fave was the jb remix.
A marvelous listen by my standards.
Not had time to scan the Box much recently and this was my pick when I returned today.
Cracking. The latin is much more my thing than the dub, but I was happy to weather th dub storm to get to it.
I’ll back the JuJu Orchestra recommendation.
I mean for christ sake the album is called BossaNova is not a crime.
You just can’t go wrong from there.
Taking my comment way to seriously – It’s a wee bit hard to emoticon tongue in cheek in these comments box – nothing wrong with your mixing.
The comment was more to the fact that you keep eluding to still learning the art of mixing when all’s I’m saying is your doing fine. After listening to a few of your mixes the only thing I can see thats next is a wee bit of beatmatching (longer crossovers) but was never meant to be a negative connotation. Imho I felt a couple of these tracks would have beatmatched well making the mix even better. I just felt the crossovers were a little conservative that’s all. I could almost hear the “worry” or nervousness on some of the crossovers, which will always be the case on a live mix. Sorry just he way my ears listen after 20 years of DJ’ing.
But it’s not always about the techincal aspects of the mix but sometimes just the personality of the mixer. As people keep saying each mix you do, you seem to be getting better & I will always listen to your mixes, even if I dont like the music, as I too am enjoying your progression.
But far be it for me to tell anyone how to DJ or mix – it was just an off the cuff comment that had a wink which I always thought meant “just kidding”
Just ignore me – I enjoyed this & as it was not done on “software” you did very well. Sorry if I offened ๐
After listening back to this again maybe I’m being a bit too critical on you, this type of music would be hard to beatmatch for any longer periods & the “worried” crossovers were only 2 sections. I must have my periods or something.
Nah, you didn’t offend me. It was more of a question for clarification than being offended at your comments. It takes a lot more to offend me! ๐
I really appreciate constructive criticism, to me it can be more important than someone just telling you how much they liked it (which is also important).
I know what you mean about the worried crossovers, but I just couldn’t accept that they were going to work; seemed to clash too much for my liking. It might have worked, but I lost my bottle at the crucial moment!!
Thanks very much for the comments re: improvement in my mixing, that means a lot to me coming from an experienced DJ.
This the problem with email/texts that sometimes the other person can totally misunderstand the meaning behind the message. Anyways, glad that we sorted that out!!! ๐
Same as a couple of the guys above – not my cup of tea musically (too much on the latin tip for my tastes), but a nicely done mix. Good work with the ‘pellas too.
Most of the tunes not my cup of char either but overall the mix goes very well. I think the work with the two acapellas is excellent, must have taken you a while to sort that out? The last tune for me was great.
Don’t worry so much about the quality of your mixing Stu, if it’s shite we’ll tell you ๐
The acapellas I sort of stumbled across. I record the bpms and then try them against similar speed tunes…I suppose I feel lucky, or I might be getting better with regards to ‘hearing’ a tune.
Cheers fellas… as always much appreciated. This is defo one of my prouder moments on the 1’s and 2’s… especially on tracks 2,3 & 4 when I finally nailed three decks.
Funnily enough Dangerspouse pulled this out for us to listen to in the car tomorrow on the way over to the ‘rents
Just found ” Aye Carumba” after King Megatrip highlighted Ur most recent mix… Top Quality, missed the summer n its now dark dark winter nights but feelin the heat of this one… Nice1 Dangerscouse have great 2011

Just up to “Hot Pants” at the moment… this one is going down well on a nice sunny afternoon.
I first listened to this a couple of weeks ago and I’m still playing it. Amen to what Mr ReadyBreak said.
Full marks Stu

Ha ha ha, I’ll never be 100% happy!!
I’ve gotta be honest and say that some of this is not really my cuppa tea but, by golly, the mixing is faultless on this! Very nicely done indeed! ๐
I appreciate your honesty, can’t please everyone all the time etc etc. ๐ Some you’ll like, others you might not.
Thanks for the comments about the mixing, that is really appreciated.
Hey Stu this is a corker mate!
TOTALLY my kind of selection with great mixing and transitions – what more could you ask for?
….a very hot sunny day…..cold beers…. ๐
great call with the Farm Fresh Sound System – just chcked out their myspace – I hope “roots once again” gonna be on your next mix – if not baggsy I use it!!! ๐

Good flow to the mix dangermouse…errr.. scouse – The accapella’s work a treat. Next up is lesson number 5 a wee bit of beatmatching ๐
Erm….have I totally missed the point, what do you mean?
soundz well mixed to me….
Just to explain a bit better I don’t understand the Lesson number 5 reference.
Fair enough if you don’t think that it is mixed well enough…..I don’t agree, but it is very subjective and I totally respect that.
