Noob Question #3178: Are all ministry of sound CD's mixed?

[BeatLeSS]

About to buy some ministry (Shame on me i know - but wouldn't mind keeping some commercial in my library)

Have got my eyes on Running Trax at the moment (fairly cheap for a chunk of tunes),

Are these mixed? Or Start to finish original/remixers version?

[Jaz]

Shame on me i know

Why shame on you? i love ministry, have got most of the Major Releases over the last 2ish years

all different though...if a song is good enough as an original they may leave it in original form

some of the DJ's that Feature Remix the songs

Some Put in there own Original songs in between the others

its hard to say, every ministry is different hence the different names and depending on the DJ

In the club, is your poppish stuff thats been remixed with dance,house n disco

electro house sessions, obviously house n electro

The annual, usually the biggest ministry album every year, basicly a mix of all the most popular songs from any genre really

The underground, is usually mixed by up n coming DJ's with some dirty kinda feeling (last 1 disapointed)

Sessions, are usually disco and chillout kinda songs

but every 1 changes year to year as said depending on the DJ and feel that year i guess

my Favourite is easily The Annual 2009, was epic good!

hope this has helped

[lloydc]

all mixed... with maybe the odd exception

[BeatLeSS]

hope this has helped

Not really dude, but cheers for the breakdown

The question I was asking was are they all mixed, i.e intro over outro, with the split between tracks half way through the mix.

At a glimpse anything that's a compilation should be safe unless it says 'mixed by X' just want to confirm before going and spending cash

[Jaz]

oh ok my bad

yeh its pretty rare that a song stops before another starts with Ministry

[eggssell]

yeah mixed so better off getting track names and buying seperately. with oz dollar killing it should work out okay on juno

[ill_spector]

maybe just use MOS cd's as a guide for buying some new traks, that's kinda what i do, if i like the genre or the dj mixing it ill buy it, gives me ideas too, good for banging on in the car etc.

[BeatLeSS]

Sick idea there hearts, the way i see it theres never any harm knowing what the masses are listening to! And any music is good music.

The way i see it, knowing the ministry can only be an advantage as if good enough can swing in a few pumping unknowns :D

[DJ_Shiver]

not all songs are mixed, and when they mix them its usually at the very end, so you could just cut the song short a bit

[Cupe]

yea use your dj skills

[BeatLeSS]

So just to Clarify,

http://bigpondmusic.com/album/various-a ... h=14083004

would be mixed by someone? And i would have to individually track the songs down and pay $1.60 each, or get the entire release for cheaper, but have the beginning and ends overlapping?

[DJ_Shiver]

just get the whole album i just got it and i use quite a few of the songs in my new mix. ;)just write yourself a note that when that song comes on you need to mix it a bit later or mix the next song a bit eairlier so you can cut that song short

[eggssell]

shiver i think you mean not all songs are remixed but yes beatless all songs are mixed in together. been a while since i listened to an mos prob kenobis sessions. and it prob depends on the dj as to whether its a ending to beginning type mixing kid kenobis dedinitely wasnt. oh and beatless buying track for track from that album will mean you will have the versions that are being mixed i.e the start and posaibly each end will be in the mix. so if you want the track dont buy that one go to juno and buy the full version

Thats what i was trying to get at.. trying, but failing

[CBG]

As a working DJ, I honestly havent listened to a compilation in... prbly 2-3yrs

There just so old, and the mixing style is shithouse imo

[DJ_Shiver]

@CBG. where do you find all your songs/ new remixes?

[CBG]

friend producers, blogs, soundcloud, beatport...make my own?

[eggssell]

fabric live series have always rocked. and even better they are recorded live from the club. atraks, craze, spankrock djs and scratch perverts are some of my faves. i think the mixing on them were tops.

also kid kenobis klub kids from last year was awesome both discs.

as was atraks infinity 1 mixtape.

admittedly i have cut down on buying mixtapes but a lot of djs issue like weekly podcasts/ mixtapes for free and heaps of them rock

[CBG]

I was referring more to MOS and OneLove

[DjDennis]

for MOS stuff if the whole CD is good I make up 5x in one hit as one long mix

and ripp the cds to seperate tracks as well

so anything happens its all there for me

Man thats so fkn gay, why are albums now a days not DJ friendly hahah.

Sick advice, cheers eggssell.

[CBG]

some release dj friendly versions

[Mattye]

Hey Just bit off topic but simmilar.

But if u download a song off say Dance Music Hub or Beatport and its a song from a compilation say for instance MOS. Would I have the same prob, ie. intro n outro mixed?? or do the get the proper songs???

[eggssell]

hmmm pretty sure if you buy from the MOS album then it will be the same thing. if you were doing that just search for the name and get the actual release??

HOWEVER i remember sometimes on Juno (i dont really do beatport anymore except for US releases where the europe release is more than 2 months later) i occassionally see albums where it has the mixed version and the unmixed version BUT i dont remember if they were MOS

[lloydc]

not sure about ministry, but most compilations on beatport will have full length songs and one or two (sometimes three) long continuous mixes as well.

If it's tagged as 'DJ mix' on beatport, you won't get any full length songs, just the mix.

hope that helps
