    Lovely mix here, particularly the first 20 mins. Video's cringe as per most boiler rooms



    I love this set, in particular how he gets so into his set. He is a great producer too.

    Personally Modeselektor's Boiler Room set is my personal favorite, it's so lively and fun it makes me bop my head everytime I stick it on.

    Except they should've insulated the camera mounting to stop the picture going blurry from the bass

    Not sure it's true for that particular mix.


    More mixes were off pitch than not.


    Staggering for a professional DJ imo

    I think you miss the point of DJ's, Festivals and Gigs in general.

    The crowd appears to be having the craic and I know if I was at a gig with speakers that size and DJ banged out a set of that style tracks and quality of mixing, I wouldn't be standing to one side with my arms folded stroking my chin saying,

    ‘Hmm, more mixes are off pitch here than not, staggering for a professional DJ’

    That’s a well mixed set of banging tracks that would have any crowd brimming with energy.

    Yes, a few of the BR videos are like that... But the actual set is so creative! surgeon is such a great artist, the diversity in his sets are great!

    Didn't mention anything about the festival or gig.


    Someone stated it was nice to see someone been able to mix vinyl.


    That particular set was a bad example.


    the least to expect from someone who "dj's" "mixes" for a living is them to get the basics right.


    Some part of that was not just a bit off was all over the shop and cut early as it was so bad.


    Sure, tune/record placment etc are more important. I was just pointing out it was a bad example of someone mixing vinyly well.


    You can untwist your knickers now..

    I sort of agree - it bugs the crap out of me when the mixing is poor. It spoils a set. The below from Laurent Garnier at Dekmantel is a cracking set of uplifting house - but his mixing is pretty atrocious at times. Beatmatching out and some poor cuts.



    Thoughts?

    I love his sets and this one was is good too. But was also amazed to hear him off so much.

    He looks like he's having more craic than the crowd to be honest.

    That to me is a major fail for a DJ.

    If your crowd are barely half interested but your mixing is spot on, whats the point.

    If your mixing is not 100% but your crowd are loving the set and session, its a winner.

    Sunil wins........

    First of all, the boilerroom "kit" is not great at most events. How do i know this.. Well sunil and many others have not giving their permission to upload there previous sets because it was so bad, plus the crowd at most of these are almost on top you, making it a little bit difficult mixing with vinyl. On this Sunil video, Skip to 24:00, some guy touches it or bangs of the desks, but he pulls it back and can still pull a smile :pac:
