So you mean like really exceptional and extended blends then? I do and have certainly noticed them, and get really excited by them! Sometimes if its something I don’t recognize being blended, when I go to track it down its much less exciting. Even just having things pitched up can have a ‘remix’ quality to it.
This is basically how I approach making deejay mixes. I only recently got into the practice of just throwing tunes I know well enough on, spontaneously blending and letting whatever happen. For my last recorded mix especially it was highly planned on the basis of the longest and most exciting blends, both just sonically/polyrhythmically/key-wise as well as rhyming thematically (getting samples to talk to or compliment each other), which I find through a long pre-production process of auditioning and experimenting with different combinations of all my tunes. Then I’d sort of map out rather precisely what should happen based on maximizing my findings. Of course that’s not really ‘deejaying’ as you would playing for a live audience, but if I’m simply making a recording why document blindly faffing about when I can intentionally craft a program?
Now if you’re a well skilled deejay you can obviously pull off these more acutely practiced or rehearsed things live, like Hype does beautifully with Scottie here below (starts at 1:55), phasing and beat juggling like a lunatic
