One durable person. One social graph. Many communities—and every way people speak, share, listen, write, gather and remember.
I know my fellow MS members will agree that unusual mixes done right are welcomed.
One of the stranger mixes that I keep playing since it's release is DJ T - Fabric 51.

Give an example of a mix you think is unusual and weird in but done well.
Re: Weird Mixes That Work
i dig mixes done as such (need to probe my archives for examples soon). laurent garnier throws down some pretty gnarly/twisty multi-genre mixes.
Re: Weird Mixes That Work
oakey's first disk on Oslo was i guess....strange....for his style (dnb and such). but i really dig it. very underrated imo.
Re: Weird Mixes That Work
howells emix from 02. some d'nb, beck, beastie boys...dont' know how it works, but it works so well
Re: Weird Mixes That Work
I actually didn't find it weird but others did :) NID 's Ride / No turning back in his kissfm [aust] mix. I really really love it !!

Re: Weird Mixes That Work
Seth's RA podcast. I don't think it's weird tho...just a whole lot of awesome.
My boy's entire slow pitch mix series is wicked. sort of a back to mine approach. peep it: [URL]http://soundcloud.com/slowpitch[/URL]
This is the stuff i listen to more than club type dj set mixes, which for the most part just bore me anymore.
Check out Worst Friends as well. Ryan Cavanagh (aka Slow Hands) is 1/2 of Worst Friends. They did a recent mix on Mr. No Music, couple of other really sick ones floating around too. if you can't find any, i'll upload some. Speaking of Slow Hands, super sleazy sexy slow housey stuff. love it.

Craig Richards - The Flawless Sound Podcast 10 - Jan 08
Re: Weird Mixes That Work
Quite a few actually, I'll post as they come to mind. Esp. James Zabiela's mixes....
Right now from the top of my head, I'd say that I fell in love with Nick Warren's Ambient Mix.

Listening to this again, haven't heard it in a while. Man I forgot how great this mix is. 40 mins in right now on Screamadelica. So great how it goes from Madonna to dnb to the chilly Funky Lowlives to this.
