DJMAX Technika: Pop Mixing 2

Well, it must have been quite a long time since the last time I wrote a post on my blog. I've been so busy these days, doing assignments and attending neverending-torturing classes. Yes, now I don't really have much time for myself. I spend most of my time doing my assignments and attending discussion with my friends. But I finally have Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, three days of free time, so I have to use the three days to relax, find a great hideaway from daily activities that are torturing me, both physically and mentally.

And back to the topic, I think I have once posted this kind of topic, right? I have posted DJMAX Technika: Pop Mixing 1 several weeks ago and I bet this post would be the sequel from the similar post I've made before. Still talking about DJMAX, now it's already the 18th Maxpoint Shop Update in my country and all the songs have appeared to be available but the difficulties. I'm not going to talk about the new levels available at the Maxpoint Shop since mostly the new levels appeared as the 18th Update are obviously difficult (Yes, it takes probably two to three months for me to conquer HD level of "Out of CTRL". In other words, I'm a slow-learner), but I want to share my song selections for Pop Mixing (which can also be used as your course for Crew Race). In this post, I will include my selections, not only based on the theme or genre of the songs but also the characteristic of the song patterns included in the course. Here are my song selections for Pop Mixing, including my level preferences:

  • Midnight Rockstar
This course consists of slow-rock songs (or slow-to-medium beat songs) with the range of level 6 to 8. The selection of the songs is based on the theme, Midnight Rockstar, so that's why the tempo are mostly slow. The arrangement of each song is also somewhat simple; distortion or over-driven voice does not really predominate the arrangement. It's not really hard for me actually to find the right songs for this course, since my reference is song with slow to medium tempo. It's up to you on how you will arrange these songs to the stages, but here are the three songs selected by me:

1. Brand New Days (MX level 7)


2. Raise Me Up (MX level 8)

3. Become Myself  (HD level 6)


  • Disco Strings
The selection is based on the music arrangement. I note that some songs are seemingly cool to be played at discotheques or at your house-party. One characteristic that I observe is the element of the music arrangement (these three songs have strings section that refer to classic funky disco strings section arrangement). Let these upbeat house music enliven your party: 

1. Wanna Be Your LOVER (HD level 6)


2. Everything (MX level 8)


3. Fallin' in LUV (MX level 8)


  • Screaming Soul
Well, I dunno why I am suddenly in such a depressed mood. Not really depressed actually, but just feeling unhappy. There's a voice inside of me, forcing me to scream all these craziness and depression out of me. And probably these songs would help me throw those shits away: 

1. Out of CTRL (HD level 9)


2. Burn It Down (MX level 7)


3. Rage of Demon (HD level 8)


  • Deeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep
Yes, three electro-house songs to create such a deep ambiance. The range level for this course is between 6 to 7, so it won't be too hard to play. The main thing I chose these songs is because I just want to feel the ambiance.

1. The Rain Maker (HD level 6)


2. MASAI (Electro House Mix)


3. Desperado (Nu Skool Mix)
