We have loads of DJs around here, and you wonderful people generated a huge fucking "Post Your Mixes" thread. Putting your mixes up for streaming and/or download has been brilliant.

I'm sorry if this isn't an appropriate post for this forum... everyone else seems to have gone with a different style of mix.
A few months ago, I staged a trivia game for a bunch of folks. To promote it, I made an audio/video mix that contained plenty of NYC / manhattan references, a bunch of my favorite hip hop and breaks (with a little scratching thrown in by me) and topped off with a some vid clips, mostly from my favorite kung fu movies. It's no 60 minute mix by a real DJ, it's like 2 minutes long in the style of Steinski & Double Dee's The Lessons (in that my mix wass produced using audio tools rather than live (I wish). I've tried to list out everything I bit for the vdieo & audio tracks below. Remember the vid's only like 2 minutes and change, so there's not much of some most of the audio and video listed below.
Video Credits (not in order) Kung Fu: The Last Dragon (sho nuff), Legendary Weapons of China, Enter the Dragon, 5 deadly venoms, 8 Diagram Pole Fighter, Five Shaolin Masters, Born Invincible and The Mystery of Chessboxing Others: Simpsons Australia episode, GI Joe (now I know) "don't pet weird dogs" (aka: hey kids, I'm a computah), GI Joe (now i know) ice safety, Biz Markie's Vapors video, and Billy Ocean caribbean queen video
Music Credits: (in order) Madvillain's allcaps intro, King Sun (freestyle), some Japanese (I think) rapper on some track off De La Soul's bullhoone mind state - maybe long island is wildin, Beastie Boys The New Style, Cool DJ Red Alert's radio show intro Boom Fi Di Red Alert, Redman's tonight's the night, RZA as Bobby Digital (NYC Everything), some Busy Bee freestyle, Eric B & Rakim Microphone Fiend, Public Enemy Terminator X to the Edge of Panic, Madlib Beat Konducta v3/4: Fifth Chant, A Tribe called quest Steve Biko (Stir It Up), Grand Puba I Like It, Wu Tang Clan: Mystery of Chessboxing, Gang Starr Who's gonna take the weight (break), Ghostface Killer Ice Cream, Boogie Down Productions - Still #1, Boogie Down Productions House Nigger (break), Bruce Lee quote, Tlahoun Gessesse Seqo Menor

That was truly a funk oddysey, really well put together. Love the DJ Food track, one of my favourites. It's very cool that the last thread lasted two years! Let's keep this one rolling as long as we can. I'll be back to full speed as soon as I get a table for my decks.
Jesus, i can't believe it took me 2 years to figure this(and the previous iteration) is one of the best threads on Whitechapel. As a longtime lurker, i thought i had checked out every thread on this beast but, oh no, Whitechapel found a new way to smack my taint with chronically turgid weasel tail just to keep me on my toes. Like, in a really good way.
@Kelcey - I'm currently 5 throbbing minutes into your archeo-repro mix and have found that I don't care if my co workers are annoyed. I love it.
Keep it up. I'm going to trawl through the old thread and see what other magical treasures i might have missed.
I've brought my eeepc into the office today so I can listen while I work. A hearty soul-clap to you brother - I'm looking forward to March and beyond for further instalments..
What I love about these is, I will be listening to them. I will enjoy it immensely. I will really enjoy this one bit 10 minutes in. I'll check the set list.
And it's a song I absolutely HATE on its own.
That, friends, is the true skill of a good DJ mix.
But none of you can make me enjoy Basshunter, I'm sorry, no...
MOAR!
EDIT: Kelcey, how did you invade my brain for the track list for End-X?
Also, yes, MOAR TEXTURE DUB STEP! Is that Whitechapel Haunting mix still hosted somewhere, I lost it in a crash, and now have a TB drive to keep it safe on.
@ Your Highness King Megatrip: That was some funky sounds that were coming out of my speakers last night! Got any links to previous episodes of the Soul Society?
Glad u liked it man, more on the way! Actually off to the studio tonight with Morphamish - if our mixing sesh goes well, expect a big bad clutch of new dubstep, with added bells, whistles, echoplex and synths.
@Your Highness: I think my favorite mix was Caveman on Campus, and what rocketed that to the top was the genius mixing of Devil Went Down to Georgia and Winona's Big Brown Beaver, and then RIGHT AFTER THAT we get Queen vs. AC/DC. Every now and then I hear a mashup where I just think "god DAMN, why didn't I think of that?"
