I agree with whats been said on here, but I gota say that was freakin sweet!!!
See, and that's what I found in this mix. Controllerism is cool and definitely artistic, but it's obviously not for clubs. While this still falls in the realm of controllerism, its to a less extreme extent and, I personally think, that some of the audience could catch on if they know the songs. Remixes, if well done (I know its an arbitrary concept but in general...), are usually popular and this is pretty much a different type of live remixing on the fly with roots closer to controllerism.
Pretty much, it would be cool to see it more often live
Everyone needs to watch the mcmash clan, they are the masters of chopping up tunes. 4 decks, no syncing. Most awesome mixing I've ever seen. They actually do this for hours live. :P

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w4e8D...&feature=feedfIf you have the opportunity to play a bunch of brostep live doing this is not challenging, taking any two or three or four brostep tracks and just slam the crossfader or upfaders on beat and swap the wubwubs and it sounds like this. You could do this with just about any group of songs on the beatport top 100 dubstep with similar results.

There’s also an almost hermetic community that exists in many areas of dance music, where serious hobbyists feed off each other’s expertise but barely connect to the industry – despite many of those involved actually working in it.
I'm with xone and cold.
If you don't like the music you're spinning, why are you spinning it?
I mean…mashups are a thing, and–seriously–who the hell am I to stop you from achieving your artistic vision…but that doesn't sound like art. That sounds like you're just bored and trying to stay entertained.
Screw that. Find better music.
haha sorry, i guess didn't word my post very well! i do enjoy the music that i play (or else i wouldn't have gotten into djing in the first place ). BUT if all i'm doing is playing that music without some how adding on it, then i feel like i'm simply playing music, and not performing (edit: doing stuff like what i did in this mix makes me feel like i'm putting more into my sets and makes them more meaningful to me i guess). hopefully that clears things haha
edit: as for the mash ups thing, its not to just stay entertained, i really enjoy making them haha! mash ups are the reason i bought my first pair of decks everyone has something that they enjoy about djing, and thats mine

They are so good! And every now and again I bump into the dude in the green out in London, nice guy. They are playing in my favourite bar (maybe 50 man capacity and a really nice sounding oversized sound system) for crimbo, can't wait
