This mix is truly me as a DJ. This would be what I would do if I performed live. I prepped 7 tracks and created a playlist. The next morning, I picked a track to play and started mixing. Beat Sync was off. Once I started playing a track, I’d have to cue the next track in my headphones. This was my first time using the ‘Traffic Light System’ to identify songs that were in key. I used that to help select which track to play next. This was also my first time using a DJ pool to find new tracks. The one I selected was BPM Supreme, hence the name of the mix.
Overall, it went well. The transition between Never Be Alone and Going Bad is kinda dull. I think if I had planned it, I could have used EQs or something to make it pop. The transition between Going Bad and Loco Contigo is clean. I find that funny because Loco Contigo was the one track that I thought of removing from the playlist when doing track prep.
I’m really proud of the transition between 2 Phones and Call Out My Name. It definitely doesn’t sound the best, but it sounds decent. The reason that I am proud of it is that I had to put it together in the moment and it was good enough to not ruin the mix. The two tracks are 12 BPM apart. So, I could beat match. I figured I’d just do a simple fade and it worked!
I was excited to used the record break effect to stop the mix. I was a bit harsh, but hey, there’s a reason I call this collection Rough Drafts of My Perfect Mix. Enjoy!
