this is the dj mix that wouldn’t die.

it took me — no kid­ding — 3 ½ months to fin­ish it. i started it in the cold dead of win­ter with a spe­cific sound in mind, and i fin­ished it on a warm-ish late win­ter day a week or two ago. along the way, i lost about 33% of the sound i was look­ing for. there were a few tran­si­tion points that i slaved at for weeks on end, try­ing to get the per­fect tracks to drop in. in the end, i had to leave out about six or seven tracks i really wanted to play. so that stinks. on the other hand, i’m now well on my way to another mix, sim­ply based on work i did and then cut, mostly revolv­ing around the tracks i had to leave out.

then again, i had already men­tally assem­bled most of the track­list for yet another mix, which i started work­ing on last night. so that one — a much dif­fer­ent flavour than this one — will see the light of day before the cut­tings from this one, so…

oh, and: the ecsta­tic dub of “enjoy the silence”, while awe­some, is nearly impos­si­ble to mix out of. i knew i should have put together an edit before­hand, like i did with the 808 state, down­load, and hau­jobb tracks.
