A DJ that doesn't pretend to perform the music and instead just lets it play as intended. What a novel concept. THIS MAN IS A TRUE OG

[@lolocaust4967]

This is how to DJ properly. Too many DJs use tricks to hide the fact that they cant transition one tune to the next flawlessly. Anyone can mash echos and mutes etc to jump between tracks. It takes skill and a deep knowledge of the music youre playing to go between tracks this smoothly.

[@Iluvlivinglife]

Music is interpretative, period 😉

[@lolocaust4967]

@@Iluvlivinglife I'm not discussing the music. I'm talking about Goldies skill as a DJ.

[@OfficialAbass]

I'd say it takes more knowledge and experience rather than "skills". It's quite easy to do on the mixer, but hard to know when, how, and why.

[@seanpburke]

I love everything about this - the selection/journey, the effortless mixing & hands off style and seeing how happy/healthy Goldie is. Inspiring stuff and a killer set. 🇮🇪

[@MrDoctorproctor]

Fully agree. Also bern listening to quite a lot of sets with loads of jump up in them. This cleanses that away away 😊

[@yamyite]

Yep old skool mixing, not like half the wankers turning knobs to little effect most the time, but then cdj mixing is pretty easy. On a vinyl night a couple of years ago Bryan G was throwing records on the floor as they had warped or got jumps in, nearly all of the legends in the game really struggled barring Kenny Ken

[@cabingamefever2779]

Goldie cannot 'mix' to save his live. harsh? If you DJ you can easily see he has never been any good, he'll admit it himself. He is one of the amazing DJ's at selection for sure and his performance is always outstanding. He is capable of putting together an incredible set, i've seen him do it many times, but he can also drop some clang city mixing hence why he often cross fades everything before anything drops ala basically everything in this mix. Tunes dropping in the wrong places, crossfading before things drop to ensure his out of synch beat matching isn;t obvious. Even his EQ in this mix is bad. I love Goldie, I mean I really fucking love the guy, he is a fucking icon of the scene, has run the best label in the scenes history, found many of the best artists and effortlessly supported them, pioneered an incredible sound, made Rufige Kru a name that produces some of most dark and fierce dnb out there with the aid of many of the scenes best producers, and deserves all the respect he gets.... but he cannot mix, dont get it twisted!

[@MrDoctorproctor]

@@cabingamefever2779 you know mate seeing him several times myself and also listening to this o fully agree. Master class in terms of mixing os the wrong title! Like you said the selection is just class. A refreshing antidote to a lot of the predictable jump up I’m hearing.

[@cabingamefever2779]

@@yamyite Bryan G has always been a mess on the decks. Dont think I've ever seen a set where he isnt dropping some clangers or beat crashing a mix at least once. Bailey, Randall, Andy C, Friction, Hype, Zinc, Spinback, Ed Rush, Mampi Swift, Loxy, Ink, Ruffstuff, Grooverider, Bukem, Doc Scott, Marcus Intalex, Tech Itch, DJ Rap, John B..... just a few 'oldschool' DJs who take risks on the decks and effortlessly produce quality sets where mistakes are very rare.
