Yeh, this is sort of one of those "love it" or "hate it" mixes, but I'm hoping the people that really don't like it will pull it out six or nine months from now and check it out again.. Dance music is so fleeting, yet there's certain aspects and attitudes that can be timeless if you're careful.. (case in point - my "snake" track that sasha played on some of his last mixes was actually composed and recorded in late 2001, shortly after 9/11, but only recently released.. my production is better since then obviously, but the composition style was actually fairly timeless..)
i really didn't push ableton to the limit in this mix.. most of what i did i could have done live, but i wanted to do some minor track editing like looping certain parts, added some filter sweeps, simple stuff like that..
i really think the future of ableton for DJing is somewhat like live re-composition of tracks - a little bit like the idea of 'closer to the edit' but done live...
incidentally, three of the tracks in this mix are from a netlabel called "thinner" that is really one of the best labels around right now, and their stuff is free at their website, http://www.thinnerism.com .. i'm not affiliated with them, i just like what they do..Leave a comment:

Kelly D - ableton-based mix - 14.07.04
Maybe not many know me or maybe a few have seen a few 'known' DJs play some tracks by me periodically, but this is a 2 hour mix I did for an online net-station. They had some difficulties and I'm not sure it was ever broadcast, so I made the mix available at my site...
It's done with Ableton. I didn't go nuts with it, but I used it mostly to really blend the tracks, and loop/edit portions, etc. There's a couple parts where I've literally got pieces of 3 separate tracks working together.
This mix probably isn't for everyone though - I tend to be a little closer to the fringe as a DJ than most would expect, but it's more fun for me that way..
