Description:
This mix is seen as a whole and has an 80’s medley structure which consists of 4 main parts:
*Part 1 – Building up (00:01 to 05:26) : simple beat mix at first, then medley positions, a little bridge at 04:20 with harmonic mixing 3 tracks together.
*Part 2 – Fresh & Loving feeling (05:26 to 07:58) : a simple fade chop here is enough, doesn’t have to be sophisticated in everywhere. Mood is king.
*Part 3 – Taking Off (07:58 to 11:55) : speed up; gained enough momentum to take off; base track technique to quick show big Italo tunes; a quick break down (at 11:00 to 11:19) and building up.
*Part 4 – Over the world (11:55 to 14:01) : touching tunes to wrap up, extending the loving feeling, haunting the audience and wanting them to listen again.

Mood Mixing

Mood Mixing

Mood mixing is a DJ’s mixing technique developed by DJ Richard Prado (Artimix), Mood Chart first appeared in this website in 2009.

Mood mixing is a DJ’s continuous mix between two pre-recorded tracks that are the same or similar mood level index (or energy level index).

The primary goal of mood mixing is to create a DJ mix that has smooth and continuous mood flow. The mix set is treated as a living whole, with ups and downs energy level controlled by the DJ with the use of mood level index.

Mood Level Index:

Beat mixing uses BPM index;

Harmonic mixing uses Camelot Key code;

Mood mixing uses mood level index.

Two songs may have same BPM and Key but yet they can not be mixed well together because the mood is not right.

Each song in the DJ’s crate is given a mood level index indicating the song’s energy flow, for example, from 1-10 (or 0-9 which will be the same but easier for renaming filenames), with 1 being a chillout song with no drum beat, 10 being extreme hyper hardcore and other level descriptions in between like “building up”, “taking off”, “on flight”. The DJ has to define a set for himself and stick with his own set of definition. Some songs may have multiple energy level indexes in different parts, just like some songs can have multiple BPM and some songs can have multiply Keys, the DJ may note this in the song’s description tag and use the parts wisely in his mix.

Mood Chart:

With the use of computer mixing software, the track list together with the mood level index can easily be recorded (may also contains time data). These data can be easily put in a spread sheet and generate a raw chart. The DJ can then fine trim the chart to reflect the mood flow of his DJ set. The Y-axis for the mood level and the X-axis can be time or track number.

黃昏, 她突然問我有沒有 Addictive (舊歌新Remix), 在車聽過好聽...

我話 Freestyle 野你又o岩? 

好,我更係吾只給她一隻歌咁簡單, 我用"Tempress Dawes - Addictive (Jock D Remix)" 起始再延續個mood做了這個隨手mix.

Thanks.
