Mixsets

Mixsets done by me, featuring 70s jazz, funk, soul aswell as contemporary electronic music.
I do not consider myself being a real DJ (thats why it’s “Looza in the Mix” instead of “DJ Looza”), although I did a few years of intense DJing (including a residency and such) nowadays I just enjoy doing the odd mix from time to time to give it away to friends and occasionally spin at a few special events.

A legal note: These mixsets are not hosted on my server. Infact I didn’t even do them, they are done by someone else who is living in a country where creating mixsets and offering them for download is actually allowed. I just pretend they are mine.

Looza in the Mix - Hände hoch! Knicklichtkontrolle! (beta) (87:16)

My take on a nu-rave mixset. Unfortunately there are a lot of bugs in this one, I experienced dropouts while recording and did test a normalizer which unfortunately dipped the volume way too much whenever I moved the crossfader. Thats’ why it’s called “beta”, I won’t do a proper version though, enjoy it or don’t.

Samurai Champloo - Round1 (63:36)

“Samurai Champloo” is an anime series created by Shinichiro Watanabe, who is also the creator of “Cowboy Bebop”. While “Cowboy Bebop” featured mainly a japanese approach to jazz, funk and bigband-style-music by Yoko Kanno, “Samurai Champloos” soundtrack consists of a japanese approach to instrumental hiphop/breakbeat by artists like Nujabes, Force of Nature and Tsutchie.
I took some of the best tracks from the soundtracks and mixed them together, as an appetizer.

Please be sure to check the official Samurai Champloo DVD Homepage and get the anime series aswell as the soundtracks. Amazon has it all.

Looza in the Mix -Breaks for Breakfast (100:23)

Just some broken beats/breakbeats thrown together after some friends simply asked me for “a new mix”, featuring chemical brothers, jazzanova, kenny dope, domu, 4hero and others. I didn’t plan or rehearse this mix at all, I just started it and did ride the sound. So no tracklist avaiable, sorry. But Broken Beats-Mixes are generally very hard to come by, so you might want to check this one out.
Contains the usual problems and hiccups which are kinda my trademark.

Looza in the Mix -Sunday Morning House (79:43)

On a Saturday night I was to tired to go to a club, so I went to bed, got up early and made this mixset.

Two minutes after I started the neighbor came knocking because of the noise, so I had to do this at very a very low volume. Also I fucked up badly one time, I still hope you have fun.

Looza in the Mix - Scene-Drum and Bass from the 90s Part One (46:23) and Two (44:51)

Two mixes I did in the late 90s (obvious by the fact that they are tailored to fit on a 90min-tape) which feature only drum&bass-inspired Mulitchannel-Tracker-Tunes (XMs and ITs) from the scene.

I feel horrible for not being able to provide tracklists for these two mixes, I simply lost those lists ages ago… If you can name any of these tracks please help me by posting a comment.

However, I hope this is a pleasant trip down the memory lane for some people. Enjoy!
(Btw, I managed to feature atleast one track twice in those mixes… I salute myself for that.)

Looza in the Mix - My Idea of Lounge (63:10)

A mix I did ages ago and that is still my secret weapon. Features very mellow/moody western funk and jazz and this is the mix I always bring along when DJing, for the early morning hours when the night is drawing to a close and I really just want finish my set, finally grab a beer (don’t drink and spin!), chill out and have a chat with someone (the woman working behind the bar for example).
Unfortunately there is no tracklist for this, but you won’t need one to enjoy it.
