Computer Music Review: DJ Mix Tools 01 - Minimal Underground Techno
As the boundaries of conventional DJing blur into those of production, Loopmasters have jumped on the concept of “filler” material. Consisting of loops and FX made to fill and bridge the gaps in your mixes, DJ Mixtools is perhaps the most perfectly non-descript House music we’ve ever heard.
Made up of 16-, 32-, 64- and 128-bar parts, each is ready mapped for Ableton Live. It’s hard to fault DJ Mixtools – the price is right and the material delivers without imposing its style too much on your mix. If you want to make better use of your C and D decks in Traktor, or need an extra beat to smooth transitions in Live, this could well be for you.
