What do you guys think was the best Start/Intro of a set or cd.
I have to say for an older set:
Sasha and Digweed - Northern Exposure - Expeditions
Breeder - Tyrantanic (Breeders Underexposed Mix) with Space Manoeuvres -Stage One
For a more recent set: Sashas start of various mixes with Invisible Inc. - Stars (Ambient Mix)
Re: Best Intro/Start to a set or cd.
been enjoying using the star ambient as of late myself.
Re: Best Intro/Start to a set or cd.
Though not of the electronic genre, Genius Gza's Liquid Swords Album had a killer start.
that 'stars' track is great. but every dj on planet earth has been using it. i like some jeff bennett. :)
Re: Best Intro/Start to a set or cd.
The start to Adam Freeland's EM last year was brilliant 2.

maybe because nobody has made a great ambient track in quite some bit.
my favorite though is "doesnt matter what i believe" by lee neilson. class!

Wow...that just brought back some great memories. Thats when hip-hop was good. One set that I have to say has a good start is Roland-Global Dj Broadcast. :mrgreen: :RockOn:
seems like ambient openings have become the trend. i expected to see porter do this a couple years ago when he opened for sasha, but he banged it out instead.
Re: Best Intro/Start to a set or cd.
i like the track sander opened with on the GU nubreed disc #2. i know its old as hell but still.....Story of the Heaviest Bassline Ever

i dont think you can call it a trend its been going on for years.
its kinda like sex some of us like to take are time and start slow and build. others just like to get in and bang away. :WinkNSmi:
i really liked Pollen - Lonely Planet on MMII... and i also love the first track of Fabric 13 by Michael Mayer

i understand that. just saying, a lot of the younger generation dj's are all playing the same records. starting with the same tracks, etc... time to pop in North (northern exposure that is. not peter north. :Naughty: :LoveYou:
for me it is an old school one ...
the artist Paul Oakenfold. the year 99. the place Homelands.
i have never been able to track down that intro tune, but fucking an a. what a way to start homelands off.
Well for me its gotta be Sasha - @ One World, Glastonbury 27/06/03. Im not one for hearing the crowd on a set but coupled with the first track it really makes my hair stand on end. Im not a train spotter but im sure one of you guys knows what its called.
Re: Best Intro/Start to a set or cd.
Tentroit - Tranceport 6 :RockOn:
Pole Folder & CP - Apollo Vibes
kicking off GU 019.

Re: Best Intro/Start to a set or cd.
i got 2 days ago an Adam Johnson's album ... all the tracks could be :Bingo: to start a set!
now MJ's name is red... wtf?
Re: Best Intro/Start to a set or cd.
he's having his [color=red][size=7].[/size][/color]
^^ his what?
Re: Best Intro/Start to a set or cd.
I hear ya Jibjolly.
well, it's a live set for me, and wow, it's from digweed.
the year he won #1 dj from dj mag, and broadcast his ceremony or whatever from bedrock on his kiss show, like nov 5th or something 2001 i'm thinking. anyway, some girl introduces him as #1 , the crowd screams like mad, he drops that Peace Division cut. I wet my pants.

Also Dave Seaman's last 2 GU's had some great openers as well. However, Sasha is the master of this live, while almost routinely opening his sets with 3-4 minute intros. I love 'em all!! :Bingo:
Sander Kleinenberg's intro on his Renaissance cd-1
Agreed with most of above...
Thought I'd add Driving to Heaven on GU 21. Tis dreamy...
Re: Best Intro/Start to a set or cd.
Digweed opened a live set (think it was in Winchester 2001) with New Order - "Crystals [Bedrock remix]"...I get goosebumps every time I hear the start of the mix....slow...slow....spheric and THEN booom boom badda da bang uz uz uz uz uz... awesome :shock: :RightOn:
Re: Best Intro/Start to a set or cd.
Digweed Global Underground LA Disc 1....Apollo Vibes
Re: Best Intro/Start to a set or cd.
Sasha e-mix @Godskitchen 2001 Classic intro... :D
Re: Best Intro/Start to a set or cd.
I really like the intro for tkac and haverlik at oslo nights... Central Rush - Out Of Focus is a really cool song
Re: Best Intro/Start to a set or cd.
pollon - lonely planet followed by dust was a great into, as was apollo vibes by the track i liked most be creamer & k - love in traffic.
loving the ambient mix of stars too, i liked the way nick warren opened with it on his set live@ the tlv tel aviv.
Re: Best Intro/Start to a set or cd.
So far I didn't hear better opener than the one in Parks and Wilson's emix from 2000 - they started with a some traditional japanese tune and then went straight to Tilt "The dragon" , it's massive for me :RockOn:
I also liked digweed's opening from 2004 New Year's party :Bingo:

Coco Da Silva "The Shiva Chant"
He started his set at Fabric with it the month before as well, awesome tunage :Bingo:
However my favorite intro must be when Sasha used Jody Watley "I'm The One" (Dead Zone Mix) really fucking incredible and set the tone for a simply classic set.
one of my faves is the intro to NE1.. with the David Attenborough sample
Re: Best Intro/Start to a set or cd.
^^^good call :Bingo:
It was a really short set, but the intro to Digweed's pre-Miami Hotmix on Radio1, complete with Petey Tong on the voiceover is so monsterously epic, it makes my head spin.

I am wondering if this is the opening track on Polefolder's studio 80MGH mix??? :Rolling: That tune is sweet! :)

Hmm, I think this is the one record that I saw go for like $85 bucks on Ebay. I think it's called Orkidea - Unity or something like that (Orkidea I know for sure). It samples some songs vocals.... If I'm thinking of the right set of course.
For me:
Sasha E-Mix of 2000 ([b]John Johnson - Impact [Van Bellen mix] )[/b]
Deep Dish - Kiss set Live @ Bedrock [b](Weekend World - The word)[/b] I thinks N Warren also used it on one of his GU cd's
...and cant forget good old Oakey's opening tune from his '99 tour in Sydney... [b]Narcotik - Blue (Platipus)[/b] <-- Lovely indeed!!
