Hours of Must-Have Deejay Mixes

I’m definitely in a deejay mix mood these days, and these are what I’ve been listening to. Dj NVM’s Sundance Sephora mix is a laid back, Kevin-Scott-at-the-Mondrian-Pool –ish mix that I could lay around listening to for hours. It’s much more relaxed than many of the other house/electro tunes I’ve been posting lately.

Dj Homicide’s South Beach Diet mix is an upbeat and energetic mix. My favorite part is from 21:00 on, sounds like you’re listening to a live performance in Cuba.

Rock It! Scientists are a more refined, less ADHD version of GirlTalk. I think this mix is from 2008, but the quality of their mash-ups is why I still like them in 2010. They’re a team of two deejays who mix everything live with four turntables.

I’m hoping everyone’s heard Coachella by now, if not, you’ve really missed out. AM left us with an amazing collection of live recordings when he passed last Fall. [GetRightMusic] organized all of AM’s mixes and music onto one page. Anything he touched is certainly worth downloading. RIP DJ AM [visit the DJ AM Memorial Fund Website]

I just realized that together these mixes cross like twenty genres.

DJ NVM – Sundance Sephora Mix (1 hr mix)
Dj Homicide & Dj Eric V – South Beach Diet (1 hr mix)

Arguably one of the most refined and sophisticated mixes of all time is AM’s live set from Elton John’s birthday. (4 one-hour recordings)
