Wrapping things up with the third and final installment of the Electro-Funk Edition v8, I'm giving you a mix a bit longer than the first two.  I have to tell you, this is quite possibly the most difficult mix I've made all year long.  First I started out with over 240 mediocre songs and what looked like a four mix set.  Fortunately, a lot of great stuff came out between the time I started this mix about 3 weeks ago and now.

My process is usually to preview all the songs that I want to use for a specific mix and then start the process of elimination, giving each song about 10 seconds before I make up my mind.  Then I throw everything together in one giant mix, burn it to mp3 disc and preview it (in my car, at home or in the gym) and decide which final songs will make the cut.  Then I go back and do the official mix generally in one take and edit down as necessary.  This go around, I had a bitch of a time deciding what to keep and what to throw out.  Even after I made my final decisions, about 1/4 of the songs had mismatched beats.  Meaning, they were way off.  Usually, I expect a few, but this was way too many.

So then, I had to painstakingly go back and manually adjust the beats to line them up.  Talk about a fracking pain in the ass.  Regardless, I got up early this morning to finish this final mix so I can enjoy the rest of my day.  I hope I caught everything, because sometimes at 2:00 in the morning, I'm not necessarily all there if you know what I mean.  The next Deep Edition is starting to shape up that way as well, though the majority of the songs appear to be mixing together quite nicely, so the only issue is what to get rid of.  I'm going to try to keep it down to a three mix set with each mix coming under 80 minutes.  That mix should be out this next week sometime and then I'll start working on the Halloween Edition.

I've also got our next guest DJ lined up, and this is something you gotta hear.  I'll get into details this next week when I post the mix, but I will say that it's deep, dark and FIERCE!
In the meantime, I hope everyone has a great weekend and as always...ENJOY!

Track : 1
Title : Let It Go (Stonebridge Vocal Mix)
Artist : Stonebridge & Wawa
I'm not really sure why these two had to collaborate on something either one of them could have easily done themselves.  Frankly, I was expecting a lot more.
Track : 2
Title : Angel On My Shoulder (Funkerman Mix)
Artist : Kaskade
What a completely different track compared to the original or the awesome progressive EDX mix.  Certainly Funkerman tailor made this for the floor to great effect.  Essential.
Track : 3
Title : Shut Up And Let Me Go (Chris Lake U.K. Vocal)
Artist : The Ting Tings
I've already used the Johnny Vicious mix back in Pride and more recently the kickass Seamus Haji mix in my Electro-Funk v7 from August.  So why go back now and add the Chris Lake mix?  Why not...this is the song that just keeps on giving.  Essential.
Track : 4
Title : I Want To Be Evil (Spencer & Hill Remix)
Artist : Giant JT vs. Eartha Kitt
Delectable, delightful and absolutely DELICIOUS!  Always love me some Eartha and this doesn't disappoint.  Now I'm hoping someone will go back and give us some 2008 mixes of 'Where Is My Man".  Essential.
Track : 5
Title : Last Goodbye (Spencer & Hill Remix)
Artist : Avenue
I know you must be thinking, Keith a fracking boy band???  What the fu....?  Folks, trust me on this one.  Think of it like eating cotton candy.  Tastes really sweet, but doesn't last near as long as it should,
