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. :D

 

A.N.D.Y / Nyemiah Supreme 'Pump It Up (Daryl Remix)'

Ace Of Base 'All That She Wants (SNBRN X KLATCH Remix)'

Corona 'Rhythm Of The Night (Blonde Version)'

Daniel Avery 'Drone Logic'

DEVI 'Nobody'

Dusky 'Yoohoo'

Eli & Fur 'Turn The Lights Down'

Embody / Barnaby 'With You'

Erkka 'Talk To The Hand'

Framewerk 'Won't Give Up'

Jaymes Young 'I'll Be Good (Tom Bull Remix)'

Jess Mills 'For My Sins (Phaeleh Club Mix)'

Lion Babe 'Jump Hi (Todd Edwards Remix)'

LOLO / XYconstant 'Gangsters'

Nelly Furtado x Timbaland 'Promiscuous (Dr. Fresch Remix)'

Phantogram 'Fall In Love (Waze & Odyssey Remix)'

Prince Club 'Within'

Sander Van Doorn / Oliver Heldens 'This'

Toyboy & Robin 'Feel It (Dub)' / 'Don't Just Say'

 

hope there's something in there 4 u

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) :heart:

 

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

 

:wub:

Here's a few ;3

 

Paul Woolford - Untitled

Duke Dumont - Need U (100%)

Ben Pearce - What I Might Do

Joe Goddard - Gabriel

The Juan MacLean - Feel Like Movin'

Jack J - Looking Forward To You (not sure this is on itunes/spotify, but still an utterly lush track)

As I Am - Saving Grace

Josh Butler - Got a Feeling (Bontan Remix / Pleasurekraft Edit)

Hot Natured - Benediction

 

A few off the top of my head (not all strictly house but...)

 

 

Azari & III - Reckless with your love

B.traits - Fever

Disclosure - Help Me Lose My Mind

Kym Sims - Too Blind to See It

Moko - Your Love

 

Axwell (Feel The Vibe, Watch The Sunrise)

Tom Novy (My House, Your Body)

Armand Van Helden (My My My, I Want Ur Soul, Tori Amos remix)

Freemasons (Love On My Mind, Uninvited, Kelly Rowland remix)

David Guetta (pre One Love era) (The World Is Mine, Baby When The Light)

Jus Jack - The Sound

Ian Carey - Redlight

Nelly Furtado & Timbaland - Promiscous (Axwell remix)

Britney Spears - Piece of Me (Böz O Lö Remix)

Tracey Thorn - Grand Canyon (Dirty South Remix)

Tracey Thorn - Why Does the Wind (Ewan Pearson Remix)

 

 

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

LarsM :ph34r:

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

 

What's a LarsM? :unsure:

 

 

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 ^_^

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

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.

kors k - "Chasing Of Love"

Preditah f/Yasmin - "Supernaturally"

TheFatRat - "Time Lapse"

Tobtok f/Alex Mills - "Shelter"

Thanks again for all your suggestions... I enjoyed researching them, this has now got me through several hours of train journeys - even if it is a bit rough in places!

 

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

 

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

I do like it!

 

However... not as much as I love that Riton/Kah-lo track you posted about in another thread! :o 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.
