it used to be much more common than now. how do you feel about it?
i'm still into this...
it makes a set interesting.
love it.
mixing anything into techno and keeping the flow going can't be beat.
was listening to some old kevin saunderson mixes, and occurred to me...there are fewer and fewer djs who mix house and techno as commonly as some of the old fellows...
...love it when it's done proper
wicked to me, dude. I think mixing genres is great. some house and/or electro can give some needed structure to a techno set.
i love it!
i do it
Sounds ill when a house vocal goes over a brutal techno choon.
G was telling me someone dropped sheila e over spastik im dying to hear it
love it too!
real us house music is soo close to techno imho anyway.
;)
too right.. totally love it. :love:
its all about that fine line between the two for me anyway.
sheila e is freestyle though, no? hehe...sorry being pedantic...Quote:

house, electro, acid, hip hop.... hell, shock the people with some rock or metal...or hardcore ;)
well known acapellas over some nasty beats usually gets positive feedback...

How exciting this will be!!!

rotfl :lol:
depending on what your crowds like its nice to drop some electro or breaks into techno sets
i think too much techno (and electronic music in general) has become self-referential and inbred. like...i only spin dark-broken-beat circa 1998 or whatever...
mixing it up is a good thing...
When people are out for a dance they don't care what section of the record shop you bought any given tune in as long as the set keeps flowing.
I know when I go out I don't give a shit what pigeonhole the DJ got his records out of, I just want a boogie to good music. I think most people are the same. ;)

goes the other way too, playing techno in an electro or house set is really fun.
I was at a drum and bass show a few months ago (really cool, in an old abandoned church) and everything we heard from the speakers was a boom-a-tshak-a-bomboom-tshak until one guy decided to drop a schranz track at about 160 bpm. Got the entire place on the dancefloor.
I honestly think DJ should stop playing genres so much as playing moods. Doing stuff like that is fun because you get a cohesive set (because its all the same mood) but you get a lot of variation (because of the different genres) which leads to fun mixing.
I did a mix like that a little while ago, but its got a bunch of rock in it too. Here's a link - http://www.djnew.com/mp3/new-stalker_mix.mp3

no reason for you to cry over southside at limelight back in like 95 96
that was the illest for real 2 bucks to whoever re creates that for me
matter of frickin fact someone here should make a mix of it proper bo mashup
Have to mix up those styles, its the only way to keep people interested, especially if you play at a multi-genre night. Plus if you've not got any money to buy new records you can raid your archive for no end of possibilities.
To be hoenst alot of my style has always been based on the meshing of some house and mostly techno. It's gotten a pretty mixed response from younger kids, that flip out at the first trace of a diva vocal. Im acutlly impressed people are being so open minded about it on here Props to all! :clap: I think Terminal M and Gotham Grooves reps this sound very well ;)
im a fan of mr.g, dj sneak, joeski, so yea i do it all tha time.
OH MY GOD!!Quote:

heard carl craig on saturday night and he was dropping lots of derrick carter-ish stuff jacking house with smooth deep techno, good house music music holds its own with most of techno
mix it up ....great
I used to do ia all the time.. then not at all for the past couple years, just techno.. But I've been leaning towards mixing it up again, esp since I've been digging into the old stuff lately.. missing that 90s groove that house fits into so well imo..
I often mix techno (acid and harder stuff) and hard house... love it. Mobile Dogwash played a wicked set last Saturday at Riff Raff mixing OD404 and funky techno :love:
always use the housey sounding stuff on a techno warm-up, works a treat.
