djliquidice Posted February 9, 2007 Share Posted February 9, 2007 [edit]i double posted in the remix request section. I'm new here, so please be lenient.[/edit] Hey guys, i'm a newb here. I've been a DJ in the Baltimore, Washington DC Area for over 6.5 years now. I was listening to a lot of the remixes on the OC torrents and I would *love* to get these tracks setup on non stop mixes. DJ Friendly means at least four 64 beat phrases leading up to the main body of the song. Then a similar outtro time frame, gradually stripping out the layers gradually. Ideally the intro/outro should equate to about 2 minutes to allow for very smooth transitions. This is pretty important to EDM djs that mix for a long while. most of the tracks here are less than 3 minutes long and require really intense looping and song manipulation that would hamper the flow of the mix. I spin House, trance, breaks and D&B. Here are some of my tracks. *Trance* http://djliquidice.com/mixes/2004-06-21_trance/ (multi mp3 download) http://djliquidice.com/mixes/2003-24-03_trance/DJ_LiQuiD_iCe_My_Lullaby_3-24-2003.mp3 *House* http://djliquidice.com/mixes/2006-03-06_house/DJ_LiQuiD_iCe_-_Latin_House_Mix_03-06-2006.mp3 http://djliquidice.com/mixes/2006-02-09_house/DJ_LiQuiD_iCe_-Musica-de-la-casa.mp3 Here are two google videos of me playing at home. http://video.google.com/url?vidurl=http%3A%2F%2Fvideo.google.com%2Fvideoplay%3Fdocid%3D7070101486219342794%26q%3Ddjliquidice&docid=7070101486219342794&ev=v&esrc=sr3&usg=AL29H20-VJmRlUiI4LB_me8o_6q3qz2VDQ http://video.google.com/url?vidurl=http%3A%2F%2Fvideo.google.com%2Fvideoplay%3Fdocid%3D6801347881061302666%26q%3Ddjliquidice&docid=6801347881061302666&ev=v&esrc=sr5&usg=AL29H22fkWjzjgWFObmvADRWgrLyV8IsEQ Here is my studio: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sega. Posted February 9, 2007 Share Posted February 9, 2007 As is often said in this situation: PM the remixer. Im not sure that many people will help, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Souliarc Posted February 9, 2007 Share Posted February 9, 2007 bLiNd made a song that was supposed to be DJ friendly, but it only has a 32 beat intro. Not sure if that might work, but here you go: http://www.ocremix.org/remix/OCR01441/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zircon Posted February 9, 2007 Share Posted February 9, 2007 Here are some mixes I think would be applicable. Just a little sampling.

Skrypnyk Posted February 9, 2007 Share Posted February 9, 2007 zomg pimpage!!! http://remix.thasauce.net/song/RTS0025/ ...k, it's not an uber amazing OC mix, but damn it....it's not bad =< you might be able to find other mixes on http://remix.thasauce.net as well. =D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djliquidice Posted February 9, 2007 Author Share Posted February 9, 2007 Thanks dude. I'm looking to give back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir_NutS Posted February 9, 2007 Share Posted February 9, 2007 You might want to check my mixes but most of the ones I have on the site arent't exactly club-friendly. Trancy nonetheless. Maybe this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fishy Posted February 9, 2007 Share Posted February 9, 2007 You know, this would make an awesome site project. Get 10+ people to make a mix and then you could put them all together like that. Blind would be a very good person to ask to help you out there, his trance is the shizzle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djliquidice Posted February 9, 2007 Author Share Posted February 9, 2007 You might want to check my mixes but most of the ones I have on the site arent't exactly club-friendly. Trancy nonetheless. Maybe this? Intro is ~25 seconds, 64 beats Outtro is the same. that would be some ***quick*** mixing but i can work with it. You know, this would make an awesome site project.Get 10+ people to make a mix and then you could put them all together like that. Blind would be a very good person to ask to help you out there, his trance is the shizzle. I agree. i'm trying to find the right songs. I'm only 400+ into OC001 Pack. it takes time to go through these tracks, which i why i posted. a LOT of great talent around here. I can't wait to make the first mix CD. imagine, non-stop mixed music. I'm an EDM dj and i love mixes more than stand alone tracks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djpretzel Posted February 9, 2007 Share Posted February 9, 2007 As long as all the tracks involved are official OC ReMixes, I could definitely see something like this being popular enough to warrant our hosting a torrent when it's done; cool idea.

abg Posted February 10, 2007 Share Posted February 10, 2007 You should probably check out Vectorman: Remixed, bunch of good trance from the community up there. I dont think any of it's on OCR. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djliquidice Posted February 12, 2007 Author Share Posted February 12, 2007 Thanks for the support guys. I had no time this weekend to work on this, though i did spend time going through some potential tracks. I'm going to have to edit a lot of tracks because there is little to no lead or end mix for the mixes. A lot end very strangely. None the less i'll post a quick video of what i've done as well as an mp3 download. One major shortfall is that my source is MP3 so recompressing the mp3s will yield less quality. I'll aim for 320Kb/s AAC to maximize quality. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HalcyonSpirit Posted February 12, 2007 Share Posted February 12, 2007 One major shortfall is that my source is MP3 so recompressing the mp3s will yield less quality. I'll aim for 320Kb/s AAC to maximize quality. Once you choose the songs to use, try e-mailing the mixers to see if they have an uncompressed version lying around somewhere. I'm sure many of them would gladly lend them to you if they have them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CC Ricers Posted February 12, 2007 Share Posted February 12, 2007 Request a FLAC version of their songs, if they can provide one. I'd be in to make a DJ mix, but I only play mainly records so I cannot really mix with one CD player. And mixing by computer won't be a choice for me. By the way, a year ago I requested if there are any mixes with VG music in a similar fashion. And nobody was able to tell the difference between a "mix" and a MIX. Go figure :-/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

djliquidice Posted February 19, 2007 Author Share Posted February 19, 2007 This is what i mean by a dj friendly Remix http://www.djliquidice.com/mixes/SOR_Stage_7_DJLiQuiDiCe_.mp3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vindkast Posted February 19, 2007 Share Posted February 19, 2007 Good luck on this! I'd love to have a nonstop mix of OC remixes I agree with what some people have said though-- if you find any you really like, you should contact that remixer and see if they can set up the intro and outro. Here's the two songs I think of when I think intro. Both are probably meatier than what you're looking for: Donkey Kong Country 'Chekan Winter' Tales of Phantasia 'Emotions Lostin Time' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djliquidice Posted February 23, 2007 Author Share Posted February 23, 2007 Thanks dude. Been very busy with listening to tracks and starting some editing to give me the freedom to do nice mixes, not just slam tracks and/or mash-ups. Any other input would be greatly appreciated.
