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.
