Old Skool
I've been tinkering with this set on and off for months now - trying to make every mix perfect (and driving myself crazy in the interim!). Time to face facts: Some old songs are just difficult to mix in and out of - especially those produced during the age of the human drummer (lol!). Regardless, hope you'll enjoy these club classics from the 70's & 80's...

FYI: The set clocks in just shy of 90 minutes and the playlist includes:

Living It Up (Friday Night) - Bell & James
Hot Shot - Karen Young
Le Freak - Chic
Nast Girls - Vanity 6
Take Your Time - SOS Band
Tell Me That I'm Dreaming - Was Not Was
The Look Of Love - ABC
No Parking On The Dance Floor - Midnight Star
We Don't Have To Take Our Clothes Off - Jermaine Stewart
I Feel For You - Chaka Kahn
The Boss - Diana Ross
Makin' It - David Naughton
Keep on Dancin' - Gary's Gang
I'm Ready - Kano
YMCA - The Village People
Free Ride - Dan Hartman
Love Train - The O'Jay's
Disco Inferno - The Trammps

Oh, and your feedback is both welcome and appreciated!

Tom, great set..really enjoyed listening to your mixes. Totaly agree about the human drummer vs drum machine. Mixing with turntables and even software the task is difficult. Songs from this set remind me of when I first started to lean beatmixing. Your skills are great... 2 Thumbs up and Toe Tapper !!!! Read your Bio, there is one other DJ your same age (Panotaker), he taught me the art of beatmixing in the late 70's
