Hello everyone at r/SeamlessSets, I hope you're all well and having a great weekend so far. 🙂

It's another tribute to Angel Deelite, an awesome Soulful House club night that ran 20 ish years ago in Manchester, UK. Like the first installment, it's a who's who of Soulful House from the late 90s and 00s. Here it is and it's the first time I've shared this publicly:

As I loved Angel Deelite so much, I've put a lot of effort into editing this to give it a live/DJ performance feel. I hope that comes across. I've pushed the mix engine very hard and some of the tricks are as follows.

- All 16 bar custom transitions (mainly harmonic).

- Used tracks with additional acapellas in them to simulate 3 and 4 deck mixing.

- Track overlaps during the mix window to create remix type events.

- Doubled up vocals and extended vocal hooks.

- Created custom re-edits of tracks and recontextualised them by using multiple edited down versions.

- Mixed between original tracks and remixes. Cued in the exact same points or very similar points and used the centre bass swap as a cross fader so it's very difficult to tell where the blend is.

- Exploited ghost transitions.

- Fixed transitions with data anchor points etc.

Tracks by MAW, Joey Negro/Dave Lee, Urban Blues Project, Jasper Street Company, David Morales, Kings of Tomorrow, Barbara Tucker, Rufus & Chaka Khan, Soul Central, Moloko, Sunkids, DJ Sneak, Simpson Tune, Grant Nelson and many more.

Some of my faves from the past.

For something different, and to occasionally ease my slightly neurodivergent disposition, here’s about 30 minutes of 🧘🏻.

Just a mix of soft, gentle musical motifs combined with ocean waves rolling in, and ending with an ambient soundscape.

No real fancy mixing, only to keep the flow going….

It kinda helps me to calm the f down….

First mix I made when the feature was available.

inspired by the recent Artemis II moon shot.

Late night. No rules. Just groove. Dirty tech house, minimal, and bass-driven cuts. Selection made for the dancefloor, afterparties, and those moments when you don’t want to stop dancing.
