21:53 of Old School house remixed!
Quite proud of this mix as it was a total bitch to get some of these tracks together and the order correct given i knew which tracks roughly i wanted but argh it was so tough. Make sure you listen closely to the fairly heavy remixing in spots and some of the minor miracles I pulled to get these tracks together hehe!
and yes its fast but meh this is a 2005+ mix of very old tracks hello!

There's some vocal tearing on SOS just be good, shouldnt be too bad though, its the only track in the mixture that had a slightly iffy source copy despite my trying to replace it and noise reduce it... doh, oh well might re-filter that section to drop some noise out, didnt want to filter it too much thats all tend to lose the better part of the song,

thanks for d'loading... :)
PS its not ancient old school, more early to mid 90s re-living the fun stuff!

Cooledit Pro in multitrack mode is the mixing tool of choice, coupled with 2 SL1200 MK2s and audigyZS 2 pro plat,

You need to hear it from start to finish a few times to really love it... :wub:

Well done Trav, I enjoyed it. I am an old skool lover and very dedicated to my anthems. Not sure I'd call this old skool but what is my old skool isnt necessarily what you youngins call old skool but I loved it all the same.

Great tracks alot of my favourites all in one...... WELL WICKED.


Be sure to do what Slide said and come to anthems on the 26th it is shaping up to be a great night.

:grin: :grin:

nice choons, decent mix! much enjoyed :) B|

Thankyou!

the tunage, i love it!!!! brings back memories....track three sounds speed up by a computer tho, sound aint smooth, part from that its a decent mix... ;)

The 'do you kno' track is your own remix!!!! that sounds tops, i had 2 come back to the thread to see what mix it was, it urs, nice work, its abit lease cheesy than the original... i like it.

absolutely love the mix mate, all the tracks bring back great memories and theyve been mashed together well. this will be high on my rotation for a while. post up links to more of these if u got em :thumbsup:

Hehe indeed I knew calling it old school might be a bit close to the 'not really that old' threshold Lol its probably more 'oldish-school' but still, pretty classic tracks some of them!

Thanks for the positive comments guys it really makes all the late nights getting it right worth it!

Hopefully now too my neighbours will get more sleep now that ive finished for a few weeks hehe... ;)

I'll post back some more links to earlier mixes I did ASAP!

PS Yeah the Angel City Do You Know track I remixed a fair bit myself with another track off of an Orbital Dance CD it sounds a bit better with those vocals placed throughout it and a bit of filtering from 500hz to 2000hz to bring out some of the tones!

Agreed too - some of the songs in songs can sound a little sped up, it was very hard to get some of the older tracks (missing, some parts of love shy) to speed up without raising the pitch too far...seems to be a very fine line between correct splicing frequency and actual max rate you can adjust without altering pitch. I use 3-4 methods of stretching and for most of these tracks a combination of 2 was required to strike a balance between sounded over 'chorusy'/echoy, and having bass that jumps a touch and sounds a bit edgy instead of smooth. Still, for the most part that balance has been found....sorry for the tracks that arent 100% perfect hehe it took a long time to get it that close though,
what I usually do is go back and remix my mixes about 6 months later and update them with new tracks and vocal loops and take the opportunity to perfect anything I wasnt ultimately happy with....
...for now im just going to crank it in my car in the sun with the windows down hehe!! :) :)

Will post up some more mixes when I can...
I'll be doing a new-track mix/mash up in January of course too! (I try to do one each month and postup here)


Everyone else - find the first post in this thread and download my 2 mixes! hehe :) :teehee:

Pretty good mix, enjoyed listening to it considerating im not a fan of old school dance!!! but hey you may have converted me :shear:

The October mix is way better tho, better tracks, still play it my car 2 months later, it has alot of fans!!!!!

toca`s miracle was first pressed on positiva in 2000
same with dreaming by BT

hahaha...
yah ok then.

i think trav clarified it ok.

i think the sound is still very much today - in regards to pop'ish dance music.
we havent seen TOOO much progression at all in my eyes.

cast your mind back 6 years before 2000 and what do u have? broken been breaks, 808`s.... old school stuff...

but hey - still an enjoyable collection of songs, with some nice remix work.

credit to u trav,

hehe thanks all...

hrm i sorta missed a few id have liked to have included: Real Mccoy another night and Livin Joy Dreamer, and La Bouche Sweet dreams.
Those are some of my all time favourites too.


the tracks, if you listen to the originals, are quite old school...very slow basslines, low bpm, but back then - they sounded fast! even the dance mixes sound ancient. Dont forget those tracks in that mix while being old have been significantly sped up and pitch adjusted to sound newer, and at times in that mix ive put later remixes' bassline into the track itself to keep the old school vocal but newer base line (ie love shy)

There is still old school stuff....marmion schoenberg (however that is spelled), rat pack, i mean come on strictly techno 1 !! hehe kix mix 1? that was a bit 'poppy' yuppy crap though sometimes but the mixing was good.

It doesnt get much more old school than technotronic for me though those guys ROCKed and still do :) I have CDs galore from 1989 through 2002 (then it just turned into MP3s <backup copies>) and its so hard to pick which tracks to do so i just had to go for the absolute faves.

I'm not only a fan of house / dance but many other styles too! its just because summer is here and I was feeling all nostalgic hehe.... ;) :)

Indeed I still love the October Mix ive barely had a chance to thrash it out, when i get my car back both this and the Dec old school mix are getting played lots & lots along with new tracks and some R&B so im all ready to make a new mix! Cant do it again too soon after one or you feel a bit burned out.

PS the positiva label has been bringing music for ages....dancenet anyone too? those guys used to be fantastic early 90s, alex K mixes and stuff like brainbug nightmare, and i mean who can go past 9pm, insomnia, etc...there is SO much good stuff from that period...


but then again....thats one of the best things I love about music...its ALWAYS evolving, it always sounds incredible, and there will always be tracks to totally blow your mind irrespective of whether theyre new, old, original or remixed.....medicine for the soul, or something like that ;)


Keep the comments coming Im always up for feedback!!!
Hmm i think the forget me nots transition at the end couldve been better but i was verrrrrrrrry tired 5am+ when doing the final copy sorry LOL
