no way!
the appleblim mix (no.6) is sick.
i think key mixing theory is 99% emporer's clothes.
Cue 8 pages of heated argument.
Or perhaps not.

If I remember right the Skepta Rinse one is a bit iffy.
is unsurprising really because Skepta is an MC. I'm not sure why they picked him to do one when they could've (and should've) got Maximum to do it. Y'know... Skepta's DJ.
it really works though for that super aggressive style i don't care about the odd clanger, everyone is allowed a clanger or two a set.
Dave Clarke - live at Fuse mix
Not clangers as such but aggressive mixing/cutting, very energetic raw mix. Its something I have to a certain mood to listen to but when it works it works good.
karnage and max both clang quite regularly on their shows. but thats just the grime dj style isnt it?
Also, no, that isn't grime DJ style if only because if something doesn't come in on time, whether mixed or from a straight cut, it fucks the MC up and they have to stop. The best grime DJs you'll notice are not simply good at mixing, but extremely adept: Slimzee, Mak 10, Spyro, etc. The key is being fast.
No discussion of this kind is complete without mentioning Grooverider - specifically his Prototype years mix cd, brutal isn't the word for it!
Shouts to the chap who mentioned Goldie's INCredible Sound of Drum n Bass mix as well, that was pretty shocking...
The Jeff Mills thing came to my mind too.
I don't have much to add here except that I think I remember one of the less well-known dance mags (Magic Feet?) in the mid-90s suggesting that Coldcut had done their mixes on a computer & then having to retract the statement after a terse response (for anyone not old enough to remember, there was something of a rep to protect, with their JDJ mix being about the most hallowed of that period & still a pretty great & innovative listen).
