Frank’s mixes

Ok, I got a chance to lay down part two of the April 08 Mix Selekshan, so here are parts 1 & 2 together. As I posted below, part one goes from 115 to 122 bpm with funk, house, balearic and old school. Part two has a few more different styles: deep, broken, techy, brazilian and disco mostly at about 125bpm

Thought I’d do a Jazz Funk and Disco mix for a change. Quite tricky to do in Torq and there are a few sketchy segues.

Got another one for this month. Got some latin jazz opening and closing this one and it kicks into a slightly higher tempo than usual - 130 bpm or so working down to the mid 120s later on - and more of an emphasis on the four on the floor stuff. I should have a few more broken joints on the next one.

Here’s a little bonus, half-hour, Soul-Jazz-Funk-Disco mix. This was originally going to be the intro to the longer mix I had planned which included the one below but I recorded it at 128 kbps by mistake and in the end I thought it worked better as a standalone mix.August 07 Mix: 07-08-11minimix.mp3.

So, here’s this month’s mix. A bit too long for one CD but not quite as long as previous “epic” mixes - it was originally planned to be longer but I trimmed out a good few tunes (which might make it into a future mix) before recording it - this one’s got Disco, Boogie, Broken, House, old & new.

Got another new mix up. Back to the CD length. This one leans more to a four on the floor beat, but there are a few breaks in there and a few different styles.

Got quite a few different styles on this one, so I thought I’d give it the above title. I was going to do it a bit longer with about 8 more tracks but the last record skipped near the end and I thought I’d take the cue to just finish it off, seeing as it’s a reasonable enough length as it is. This makes a total of four mixes this month: had a bit of a backlog since December, I guess. I’ll be sure to do at least one for March but no promises for any more than that.

Ok, as promised, here’s the “epic” mix I intended to record earlier in the week. Like the 32 Tune mix, this is another double length mix, also with 32 tunes (assuming both sides of the Alice Russell 7″ count as two separate tunes) and also with a range of different type of stuff on it, but this one has less of the Soul and Balearic and a bit more of the Funk and Afro-Beat. There are one or two sketchy moments, but not bad enough to make me want to go back and re-record the whole thing again!

Here’s something else different. As with the last one, the idea was to get a range of stuff over a longer mix, but I also had been meaning to do a straight up all broken-beat mix plus a straight up all house mix. So, I decided to split this one up into three parts, beginning, middle and end, each around the hour mark and under 100mb. The first part has a mix up selection of down- to mid-tempo : space funk, bossa, breaks, hip hop, hip house, disco. The second part is all broken-beat ranging from deep to manic. The third part is all house with new-school mixed up with old-school.
