I dunno man some mixes come easy some dont. I work on the odd transition more than others.

I tend to do a mix every month or so I guess. So when I get tracks in I end up playing about with them and finding other tracks that go with them. Some transitions get thrown up on the fly, others I like and do again and again, then you get the odd tough one you fuck about with until you find something that works.

My last radio show I really wanted to play:

Unknown Artist – Reson (Excessive Mix) [Sex Tags Mania]
DJ Sotofett – Pulehouse (Reggi-Mix) [Wania]
Objekt – Cactus [Hessle Audio]
Peverelist – Salt Water [Livity Sound]
Jam City – The Courts [Night Slugs]
DJ Rush – The Reactor [Dance Mania]

So I kinda played about until I could join the dots and came up with that: http://xpldr.tumblr.com/post/20175185004/archive-sr-x-hivemind-fm-xpldr-session-25-03-2012

Once I found the next track to Reson the next 8 where easy. Then...

DJ Sotofett – Pulehouse (Reggi-Mix) [Wania]
Photonz – Chunk Hiss [Principe]
Levon Vincent – Six Figures [Novel Sound]
DJ Qu – Get Sum [Strength Music]

Where in my last mix: http://xpldr.tumblr.com/post/17653974321/xpldr-4-slushouse but I blew thru them quicker on radio...

Once I got Objekt locked in the rest was easy really.

So it depends really. Dunno its hard to discribe the process it just comes to ya thru practise and trusting your ears.

If its something pretty diffrent then go for: SR Mix # 121 Archie Pelago http://www.sonicrouter.com/2012/02/sr-mix-121-archie-pelago-car-crash-set/ Its our first video mix, they do live improv with sax and cello over the DJing its pretty damn good. I've never really seen anything like it.

My favourite mix so far is prob Peverelist he's a legend. So if you're in the mood for some down right twisted bass addled techno Pev style then go for that.

If you want radio vibes go for Hyperdub, Elijah & Skilliam w/ P Money, Dusk & Blackdown or Jackmaster and Ben UFO.

United Vibes sound like they're beamed in from another world, kinda like a mix of Mala, Flying Lotus and well alien shit haha.

Loads of nice freaky house mixes: DJ Sotofett, Lowtec, STL, Ben UFO, Xpldr.

Something kinda rude and fun: Mosca, Champion, Royal T, Spooky, OK Zharp, DJ Werq, MikeQ, Fade To Mind, Gremino, Ossie, P Jam.

Sci-fi Oddness: Ekoplekz, Fhloston Paradigm, Kuedo, Nochexxx.

Deep house: Jenifa Mayanja, Floating Points.

Swung bassy techno: Mickey Pearce, Objekt, Alex Coulton, Presk, Peverelist, Shed, [Naked Lunch].

Other: Torus, Actress.

Sex: Hudson Mohawke.
