We haven’t really had any discussion within this community so far so to try and lure some of you lurkers out a little what is everyone’s favourite release of the year just gone?

For me it is a toss up between

Shu - D-BLK012 - https://d-blk.bandcamp.com/album/d-blk012

and Zha - Ramta Jogi - https://on.soundcloud.com/bLxhC

Shu probably wins out just because of being released in digital and not a shitty inferior dead format.

So what are everyone else’s?

    Lol, glad I was able to get you reintroduced!

    Yee, finally got a fresh one up on the sound cloud: https://on.soundcloud.com/bukospooko Like I said, was mixing at a shindig for NYE, Hell themed party… This isn’t that mix, but it’s inspired by it hahaha. All tracks released 2023.

    Oh hell yeah, mashing up a tune with sum’m familiar can have very nice results. Have you experimented much with stems? Pretty sure Virtual DJ, Serato, etc have a setting to turn hi-mid-low into like vox-instrument-drum. Been meaning to mess with that more. If it’s even halfway decent at separating vox there’s tons of potential for mashups on the fly!

    Edit: Oh! You got any mixes to share as well? 🤙

      Nice one, cheers for the link. I’m gonna give it a listen at work tomorrow!

      Yeh I’ve been trying to branch out a little bit more rather than just solely mixing dubstep and trying to add in other things I enjoy and listen to. I haven’t played around with stems etc as of right now but I have just got a new controller so I am trying to practice a new workflow and right now my mixing sounds a bit dodgy in places where I’m concentrating more on where the button I want is rather than the music xD

      I currently use Traktor and I want to build up a sample deck full of clean acapellas of stuff I enjoy so it can just sit in deck 4 and I can call upon then whenever I want whilst mixing as normal with the other 3. That’s the plan anyway!

      This is my mixcloud although it doesn’t have any super recent mixes as I haven’t uploaded since they introduced having to pay to have more than 10 mixes on there.
