    by no means are we the only ones, but i know for a
    fact that both coasts have been blessed by dj's qool
    marv (east) and t-bird (west--baybay!) doing this for
    years.

    i slip mix when it makes the most sense (e.g., the
    track sounds goofy sped up/slowed down, i need to
    change tempos, the tempos prohibit beat-mixing). my
    theory has always been that the mix should be
    seamless, or dramatic.
