saigray Posted October 25 Report Share Posted October 25 Completely in love with my Everything But the Girl and Nivk Warrren "Back to MIne" CDs, and floating happily in the brave new world of MP3s and CD burners, I decided to attempt to assemble my own BTM. The results are iffy at best, and unmixed, so hardly anything to shout about...but I'm considering this one my first attempt. So my question to the crowd- If you were invited to produce a Back to Mine CD, what would be some of your ideal track selections? (JUst in case u are unfamiliar, BTM is a series of post-party, late night, chill out music that u would throw on if the afterhours moved "back to yours")On DJ Sai's 1st try, some of the highlights are: Seeland-Neu!; Noone Said It's Gonna be easy- Kruder and Dorfmeister; Nature is Ancient (Rabbit in the Moon MIx) -Bjork; some plaid song I can't remember the name of; and odd but soooo good Wicked Game-Chris Issac.What about U????

cintron Posted October 25 Report Share Posted October 25 I kind of did a back to mine last night. It's very chill, very latin and funky. God i don't know the track selections though - i just went through my dustiest crates all the way in the back and pulled out those obscure rhythmic tracks and whitelabels. It sounds really tight and sure as hell is something i'd put on if i had a hammock and an expensive tropical drink.It's tough making a BTM compliation though, right? LIke you don't want to go slam-banging as if you were live, and you can't go the other way and be a studio-DJ, coz that defeats the point.best thing i could say would be just sit down and listen to some MP3's or some good groove CD's that you've always liked. get yourself in the mood.Then go through your crates and pick out those old tracks you bought a while ago and always loved. And then play em.Have a drink or so. Get away from your decks in the middle of your mix. Post a message on the board. Def. keep the atmosphere low-key so you're not tempted to crank up the energy and pump out a club-style set. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
