Howdy. I want to make a house mixtape but I'm keen to include some new discoveries as well as just the things I already know. Therefore I'm kinda hoping you guys will be able to recommend some of your favourite tracks to help me find a few new things.

To give you an idea, some of the things I currently have lined up are...

Kiesza - Hideaway
Breach - Everything You Never Had (We Had It All)
Oliver $ & Jimi Jules - Pushin On
Storm Queen - Look Right Through
Livin' Joy - Dreamer
Tchami - Untrue
Calvin Harris & Disciples - How Deep Is Your Love

Basically I need some less obvious things to make it feel a little less like a Ministry of Sound compilation re-tread.

Thanks Lew! I shall have a trawl through them later today, intrigued by some of the mixes and only a couple I'm already familiar with so that's good.

What are you going to use to create the mixtape?

I've barely managed to get my head around Virtual DJ and this is the best I can do:


That aside, I enjoy creating mixes and should really do it more often.

This sounds like it's going to be amazing though

Oliver Heldens - Gecko (Overdrive)

Or just Gecko the instrumental if you don't like Becky Hill's vocals but they make the song for me.

Lxury's “Pick You Up” would fit into a mix quite well I'd have thought. That and Toyboy & Robin's “Jaded”.

Thanks all for your input so far, I'm slowly making my way through the suggestions.

What's a LarsM?


Jaded is a must... and I like the idea of some Tracey Thorn remixes very much, the Grand Canyon mix in particular seems good.


lewistgreen... I use mixmeister, albeit increasingly sparingly these days. I'm only digging it out again as I really want a mixtape for my travels and I cannot find a compilation that isn't half full of crap - and I'm not good at sitting through tracks I don't enjoy. How long have you been creating them for? I've never used Virtual DJ so no idea if it's any good or not

I've made a few hour-long mixtapes through Virtual DJ and it's pretty good for continuous mixes (and maybe some mashups in continuous mixes). For actual mashups I just use Audacity.

Here are some more suggestions if you're still looking for some:

Belle & Sebastian - "The Party Line (Ride The Universe Mix)"
Borgeous & Shaun Frank f/Delaney Jane - "This Could Be Love"
Coleman Hell - "2 Heads (Riddler Radio Edit)"
Dirty Androids - "I Feel You"
EverythingButTheGirl - "five fathoms (Love More)"
The Grizwolds - "Right On Time (Win & Woo Remix)"
Husky f/Erin Marshall - "Electric"
kors k - "Chasing Of Love"
Preditah f/Yasmin - "Supernaturally"
TheFatRat - "Time Lapse"
Tobtok f/Alex Mills - "Shelter"

If anyone's interested in having a copy as a 'thank you' then drop me a PM

AMAZING inclusions!! loving the inclusion of 'crunk', i really wanted to send that to bjsc this month but the anti-sample agenda oops

Posted by: · leww · 21st November 2015, 09:53 AM

this sounds very you as well, i am loving this so much (despite never having heard the original!)

Posted by: dandy* 21st November 2015, 06:20 PM

I do like it!

However... not as much as I love that Riton/Kah-lo track you posted about in another thread! So much so that I've had to re-do an entire section to fit it in. *.*


Oh and Crunk is indeed fabulous - such a shame the sample rule is in place as it sounded like a potential winner to me.
