My vote is for DJ 1

DJ 2 delayed the vocals too much, and in my opinion, shouldn't have cut them down as much he did in the beginning and end. I think there is too much bass at the end.

 

[J-Skeet]

DJ 1 for sure

 

[DjNotorious81]

Dj 1 hands down

DJ 2 dragged out the intro too long.

Conceptually, both are pretty good. DJ 2's concept is a tad more 'out of the box' so it gets more points for creativity but since this mix is only about a minute, its hard to execute something like that to its full effect.

DJ 1: clean, but your sample is out of pitch man, the sarangi in the beginning and end is out of pitch with the vocals. Its much lower than the middle note of the overall mix. Fix that and you got a banger!

Vote: 1 for cleanliness and execution.

THIS. however, DJ 2 gets my vote simply for creativity. Wasn't feelin the panga sample but LOVED like whoa.

DJ 1 was clean through, didnt feel there was a problem with the pitch, and would've won easily against most mixes and actually used more of the song... but DJ 2 came too creative here and I was feelin' it.

This is one of my favorites so I have some high expectations for these mixes.

Mix 1: I thought the pitch was also a bit off. The "Its about the time" seemed to come out of nowhere and wasn't mixed in well. Overall, pretty clean and did flow well (except for the aforementioned sample). Concept wasn't too new.
Mix 2: Concept was unique. However, with only a minute its very, very hard to pull it off. The build-up was a fantastic idea. I wasn't feeling the panga part though. The bass at the end might've been a bit too much as well.

This one isn't easy, but I'll give it to Mix 2 because I think it was a fresh take on a song I really like.
