Not Closer to the Edit - Scott Wood Mix 073

One of my favourite mixes is Ritchie Hawtin’s DE9 Closer to the Edit. DE9 refers to the equipment he used; essentially two Decks, Effects and a 909 unit. He brilliantly chops up hundreds of tracks into a kinetic, beat orientated mix.

I’ve often wondered what the underlying tracks were like..

So last weekend I hunted a good proportion of them down, and created my own mix. I’ve taken a different approach though - I wanted to stay away from Hawtin’s technique (as he does it so well!) - instead i’ve tried to take the opposite direction - no decks, no effects, no 909. The mix is created live on my DDJ controller & Rekordbox using only volume faders and minimal EQ - no additional samples or overlays used.

Many of the tracks have bpm drift and the phasing of tracks is a challenge too given how repetitive some are. Anyway, here it is - enjoy!

90’s Mix - Scott Wood 067

I have a handful of mixes that i return to regularly. Orangewarrior's Retro 97 Mix is one. Warp's Artificial Intelligence album was also recently reissued on vinyl which has got me back into listening electronic tracks from the early-mid 90s, and seeking out the Orangewarrior tracklist.

I did have a pause before i created my own mix - is it ok to take another DJ's tracklist and use it?

I'm at peace with that, if i give 3 tributes i think:

• 1 to Orangewarrior for a fantastic mix, which i strongly recommend you check out (see below)
• 1 to Headphone Commute for this and other amazing mixes on his channel
• 1 to all the brilliant artists and tracks

So - my interpretation of OW's mix, featuring B12, FSOL, Aphex Twin, Speedy J, Nightmares on Wax, Peshay, Bola, Beaumont Hannant, La Funk Mob, Boards of Canada, LFO, DJ Shadown, Dj Food, The Orb, Air, Link, Photek, Meat Beat Manifesto, Plaid, RAC, Sun Electric and the Sabres of Paradise
