This was a kind of challenge, I prepared a set of tracks in one "mood" (I call this "sensual atmospheric mood"), and tried to mix them in Touch DJ on the iPhone.

The whole mix is done visually (no cueing in headphones). This is a totally new way to DJ and I'm really enjoying it.

I never heard the full tracks before (only previews) and (frankly) loaded them on a random basis. Of course this is wrong because you must know the music that you play. But it was an experiment anyway.

There was a hard place in the middle (encountering a synthpop track with no-easy bass peaks) but I'm especially proud of the transitions at 13:00, 14:30, 18:30 and later on.

You have a bug in your cross-fader. It starts out loud and then dips when you move it to the left (and then gets louder again). Also, most crossfaders are at the bottom, which would definitely help in this case because you want to see the wave forms as your are cross-fading. Finally, it looks like there is a long pause after loading a song. How come?

Of course, there is a pause. The app has to scan and unpack a 10mb MP3 file :) On 3GS, this is 4x times faster. We made the dip correction after filming this video. The crossfader is at the top because it is more convenient - proved by tests. Thanks for commenting!

What's that song with female vocals?
