    Default Micheal Burkat

    wots the deal with some of his productions?

    i found when mixing over a break the beat slams back in
    out off sink resulting in a train wreck, meaning i will have to wait till this break is over
    or mix it out b4 the break starts....

    do producers do this to piss dj's of??

    I found this a fair bit with Carl Max's earlier tracks as well.

    Can be frustrating if you're holding something that's sounding pretty nice.

    the problem with burkat's sound (and also occasionally lars klien) i find is that things change on the 16 and sometimes the 8 (god help me!!!).. the advent are a bugger for this too.

    you've really got to have practiced mixes when you use these guys' records. ok great, but sometime you just don't want to practice to this precise extent and i think they alienate loads of ppl because of it.

    my thoughts anyway!!

    I like the rush I get when I drop a track I haven't listened to all the way, and all hell breaks loose in the middle, and somehow I pull it back together. But most of the time it just sounds like an elephant is farting through the sound system. then it's just one record and the moment is gone. I say, keep the dj's on their toes, producers! It's easy to program a set when every record follows the same cookie-cutter pattern. However, I hated when every hard house track waited one extra beat after the breakdown to come back. It's a nice trick occasionally, but when a whole genre does it, then it's boring and cliche.

    I like unpredictability in tunes.

    True, it means you need to know your records a bit better, but at the end of the day we are supposed to be enthusiasts, correct?

    Yes, it does work well when tunes always change on 32s - but IMHO tunes should be able to do whatever they want and still sound impressive in the mix.

    right.. i agree
    ecpecially about the changes//well u make your changes as u like througout the mix.

    but for me playing on three decks i find these kinda tunes(the offbeat ones)
    unuseable tottaly// i hated those carl max and burkat tunes that shit ur mix up//really
    find them not dj friendly and i dont mix them//

    i like to know that certain track is moving abit//or just slips offf the mix for like a 05.5 milisecs// that is reasonable and i can manage with that.

    I enjoy surprises on 2 decks. It keeps me on my toes since playing on 2 isn't too much to worry about after I learned how to play on three.

    On three however, I am not too fond of crazy surprises. It is apt to get messy.

    when you play on 2 decks you can pretty much mix anything into anything, on three you gotta really plan your set and practice it
