    While this isn't the best mix I've heard this year, this is certainly one of the most fun.

    I mean, if you want a taste of what is to come, then it might just be that it is a little bit toxic of a mix.

    There are tonnes of things like this peppered throughout the mix, and watching the dudes just having a blast trading back and forth is pretty incredible. Really happy the editors on this one decided to focus on the mixing/ers instead of the crowd or effects.

      There are a lot of live mixes that I am fairly certain are pre-recorded, but this is definitely not one of them.

      There are some strange effects, screw ups, and this comment perfectly talks about that:

      So, ive been analyzing 8:55 to like 9:05 [and] what ive learned, is that this set is most definitely NOT pre recorded, the current song was coming to an end, and you can see the next song is hastily chosen. all the DJ's on stage were ready to jump into action as soon as the song stopped, but the levity guy who chose the song even impressed HIMSELF, with how good it transitioned. its pretty cool to see, they are all LIT, you can tell, but are extremely skilled in their craft, and were not about to let the beat drop for a second.

      and yet, this is so close to being perfect, it really does just show their skill, as a retired 'house party' DJ (retired, due to no longer being in grade school, ha), it's so nice to hear mixes that aren't perfect and you can feel how much fun the DJs are having in the moment.

        I can attest to live DJ sets being so much more magical than prerecorded sets. I was of the camp that Fred Again.. wasn't quite headline material when he closed out Bonnaroo last year. He was absolutely insane, and was my absolute favorite set for 2024's Bonnaroo
