Taking you back to the old skool once more. The most important aspect of a mix is programming, so the transitions are seamless and one song flows to the next. The Hot Mix 5 were masters at this, just by using their ear. These days software takes care of the problem of what song fits with the one currently playing, with keys readily identifiable. When we mixed at clubs, all we had were two 1200s and crates full of vinyl.
The programming for this mix was inspired by listening to one of Bad Boy Bill's old mixes - BBB remains a generational talent with a keen ear for music and a great turntablist at the same time. Yet another Chicago legend, Bill started on radio when he was just 16 years old.
