Do you want to try something new and test the Spotify Mix system to its absolute current limits?

Well, maybe this is something for you. Create a single track (re)mix out of 9 separate tracks.

The 9 tracks consist of 5 versions of Dua Lipa’s 2024 hit Training Season + 4 beat loops available on Spotify. Total play time 29 minutes.

The idea is to create a (much shorter) unique single track remix of Training Season, by meshing and mixing up these tracks.

Do whatever you want, any combination any sequence. Even find other versions or loops, maybe if some of the provided ones are not available where you live.

There‘s only one rule, sort of: Keep the combined single track under 12 minutes. It can be done, I think 7 minutes is possible. But if you want to make it 20 minutes, go for it.

And maybe one more rule? Use at least 6 tracks for your remix?

Here is the playlist with the 9 basic track in random order. Just copy the playlist, turn on ‘mix’ and take it from there.

Because of the mixing limitations this will never be a fantastic remix, but maybe it could be….
This is not a competition, just for fun and healthy time waste management. 🧘🏻

Initially this started out more in alignment with what my technoflow mix series is about, but then as it progressed I started to drift more into feel good lyrics and more groovy territory as opposed to technical beats. My personal favorite transition on this one is Imagine>>Jack Got Jacked, this is an example of 'ducking' the volume that I felt worked out nicely thanks to the new features that gave us precision endpoints. Wondering if anyone else has made a ducking transition and how it turned out

Drop some songs to add as well! Always looking for tunes

Here is another excerpt from my overly large playlist. This part is a lively daytime nu disco journey that starts slow but picks up by the end. Featuring Daft Punk, Prince, & Kylie Minogue, plus many lesser known and underground artists. Enjoy the ride!

It appears that any mix between any songs that have had their speed changed will not survive being duplicated.

I found this out trying to duplicate one of my excessively large mixes to break it into smaller pieces, and any song that has had the tempo changed reverted to auto mix.

I’ve also noticed that if I adjust the speed of a song after creating a mix out of that song, it changes back to auto, but the mix go into that song will be ok.

Just wanted to point this out, because it sort of acts like drm for creators. Nobody can just dupe your mix and call it theirs without wrecking the transitions.

Trying something new….

With all the latest options added, r/Previous-Serve9810 recently mentioned the mix feature is getting closer and closer to a full remix tool. Well, let’s see 🙃

I already had something in the pipeline, and thought I’d give it a go to see how far I could come with creating something similar to a remix. In this case, one single track reconstructed by using different versions available on Spotify.

This (re)mix consists of 8 different versions of Donna Summers ‘I Feel Love’ with a combined playtime of 48 minutes, condensed into one single 13 minute track.
This was the minimum length I was able to get to without completely destroying the song.

For fun, I also went pretty wild with the available effects, and even dropped the bpm from one of the versions from 125 to 115 bpm to create an effect reminiscent of Lil Louis’ French Kiss.

Some edits last for only 10, 20 seconds before a new transition kicks in, but the final live version has been left intact and complete, because Donna Summer is still the queen. 💃🏾

Anyway, I’m curious to hear what anyone thinks of using the mix functionality in this way. Any and all feedback appreciated.

So I have no real mixing experience but have been messing around with the mixing function and it would be great to get some more tips and ideas. This is one of the mixes I have put more work into.

If you mix your playlists and enjoy the transition customization - check out if you have new Beta in premium.

The looping is pretty dope and the features Iike reverb, echo and delay have been fun to play around with.

First hour or so of my attached has custom transitions that feature effects provided by beta.

Share your EDM stuff if it’s mixed and transitioned and lmk if you get time to check out my linked - feedback would be cool.

I’m not affiliated with Spotify in anyway; I just like music

I always had the volume normalization turned on in Spotify. Then I starting using the MIX feature without really remembering that I had that toggled on. Recently I toggled it off and listened to my mixed playlists and a few of the transitions were noticeably different in volume level. So, my question is, do you all use normalization or not? Because it definitely affects the transitions. Do most people use the normalization? Do I tell people to toggle on or off the normalization before they listen to my set so that it's accurate to what I intended it to sound like volume-wise? You see where this is going? Just curious to know how others deal with this issue with custom-mixes.

The playlist originates from my Bandcamp page, so i added mix transitions and more songs

Hi everyone!

Anyone curate spotify playlists? Having an inde-label we would need one or more people who work in the Spotify sector, I am not looking for paid playlists or with bot listeners, we aren't interested in these things but someone who simply takes care of the playlists and would be happy to be part of the project.

I would like to point out that since it isn't precisely "the playlist must bring us 1000 plays", we don't want to force the inclusion of tracks, but only those that the curator likes by free choice. The genres we deal with are:

- Hard Techno, Industrial, Neorave, Schranz

- Techno peak time, Hard Groove, Acid

Write me in DM or here in the comments :)

Somehow I have the feeling Spotify’s custom mix functionality is particularly used by, let’s say, a somewhat more mature crowd. So, just out of curiosity, what’s your age? If you don’t want to say, perfectly fine of course, but then maybe A if you’re under 35, B if you’re over?

I‘m 61, and pretty sure I’m the senior here 🤸

And now for something a little different...

Parov Stelar took 1920s era music and gave it an electro house tweak. His unique approach intrigued me and turned me on to a style of music that I had all but ruled out. It's a cool change of pace and a challenge to mix.

This one was so much fun to make. A little more energy and slightly higher average bpm than most of my previous mixes.

Afro house, afro tech, latin house, tribal house, electro house, deep house, dub techno, melodic techno, progressive house, acid house, Chicago house.

Mixed length: ~ 1hr

I finally got it to stop glitching by making adjustments to some of the beat matching. I hope it flows through for you, too.
