Following on from the earlier thread of mixing, I was wondering what people felt which tracks go well together. For example, I find Musique's Push, Push in The Bush mixes well with Patrick Adam's Phreak (probably because he made both) - I'm sure that some of the more professional (than me :o ) DJ's have their favourites and truthfully I'd like to try them out!

Try Patti Brooks "After dark" into Macho "I'm A Man" or Amant "If There's Love" into Gino Soccio "Dancer". Sound good in my opinion.

Try these:
Tamiko Jones - Can't Live without your love / T Connection - At Midnight and spice it up with some cuts from Silvetti - Spring Rain Good for a 20 minute mix
Harvey Mason - Groovin You / Diana Ross - The Boss - 2 Killer tracks that blends perfectly
Johnny Harris - Odyssey P1 & 2 / Jimmy Bo Horne - Is it in - It's seamless. take bits and pieces from the right parts and put them together in your way and you can do a live mix that no one heard before
A good mix is like a good .....
If you're creative and talented enough you can mix almost anything together and achive unforgetable moments of musical nirvana.

two songs that have the all important lyrical conncetion rather than the far less relevant key or tempo aspects.Originally Written by Arazi440
Two tunes ive always felt fit together perfectly are d-train - youre the one for me into shalamar - right in the socket. Id more often than not be able to get an overlay between the break of dtrain into the extended intro of shalamar mixing perfectly for about 2 mins or so

As a dj, i even dt ask myself what to put after. i m in complete improvisation, during a track i turn my cd-book+vynils box, like a magic recipes book, i see a title, or i hear somethin' good inside my mind (this is a kind of intuition), i put it on the player and check if it s suitable or not. u have to keep the average same BPM, and find the right moments to end the last record and begin the new one.
a good dj can blend anything he wants to express his message, his passion by the music. he feels no boundaries between 2 kinds of beats, and must take care to the audience to create something unique, unforgettable.

GREAT TO SEE THESE COMBO'S
THE CLASH - MAGNIFICENT DANCE
INTO
NYC PEECH BOYS - DON'T MAKE ME WAIT
The Clash track is very difficult to mix out of. Don't make me wait, otoh, is very easy to mix into a track. In fact, this song can be mixed into nearly every track with appx the same bpm. Also these two tracks are great!!!
does anyone know of another track that is very easy to mix into a record? this can be very helpful when running out of time before a mix...

I agree to this, this is how I used to work back in the old days. But still when you find a couple of tracks that works well one after the other, the "ultimate" mix, you save it in the back of your head as a favourite to grab when you want the "unforgettable" moments that you have built up in a "ad lib" session to last even longer.

always combine Man Parrish - Hip Hop Be Bop with Rockers revenge - walking on sunshine and sometimes throw in D-Train's Your the one for me (instrumental version) right after or before.
