sometimes mixing goa,actually kills the song.
the trend is that "the music never stops" so that means that the beat must go on right?
but what about the intros and outros of the songs? arent they a critical part of the music?
if i mix with this thought lets say 50 tracks for a night,all goa,that would mean that i would have to cut off 49 intros and 49 outros.
thats a lot of music wasted!!!
so far i have only mixed for house parties where the people are not some beat hungry full of energy clubbers (not house music,but parties IN houses lol) and i just let the songs start and finish by themselves ,i dont rush things...
this way of "mixing" may feel a bit "amateur" at first but i believe that the tracks can only show their true meaning if we let them be!
i havent played for big parties yet,(i have one coming up in a few months ) so i dont know if this technique would do well with a big and crazy crowd ... what do you think? will they throw tomatoes?
imagine all those mfg tracks,astral projection ,dimension 5 ,shakta, miranda etc with the divine intros and outros fast forwarded for beatmatching. a crime!!!
my 2 cents!
