whats your experience of these guys.. the non
album-producing Warpheads that appear at warp gigs. They is
great i think and deserve a special DVD release for parties.


From the radio mixes at Warprecords.com i have been inspired
to generate some solid non-beatmatched mixes.
Check out warpDJ mix 1 and DJ Aura for bang-on great
timeless mixes. lovely stuff.

I want a 4 DVD set of a VJing equivalent of radio soulwax.
That'd be excellent background stuff for parties where
you're too mashed/can't be arsed to DJ.

whats the point of a mix that isn't beatmatched

like jerking off and then giving up before you're done.

where i didn't use headphones. it was mostly snares, i
thought it was pretty awesome.

You seen Roni Size DJ?! He hardly ever beat mixes and
usually just cuts at the end of one track.

roygbivcore .. i spent a year using crappy decks with a
damaged headphone-in and so "perfected" the technique of
mixing without beat matching... now i do it inwork with
Winamp and Windows Media player together..... infiitely more
interesting than trying to square up beats innit?

but then you're just playing songs.

ho, but the idea for me is to generate a consistent driving
mood with plenty of chords, synths and found sounds bridging
your tracks together

Also... fading up/down one track while down/uping another
track simultaneously, to a certain rythmn, is also fun.....
DJ aura does all this really well as does warp guy Ned and
Vibert and RDJ. It all works well with Warp and Rephlex
stuff...

I dunno, you can mix harmonically without beat mixing... try
doing both at once- bit of a challenge- involves
manipulating the pitch on the deck playing ever so slowly so
as to be imperceptible so that it is in key with the record
you're beat mixing into it. V. tricky, I've only pulled it
off really well twice (apart from when the next record has
happened to be in key anyway).

just listening to the 1st purple button mix at
warprecords......... great stuff. (the windowlicker remix is
there and just shows how seemingly "crappy" aphex tracks
work "in-the-mix")
