What is DJ Mix?

A DJ mix is a compilation of several songs put together to create one continuous sequence. It is created by a Disk Jockey popularly referred to by the initials DJ. They are not exclusive to any genres; basically you can have mixes for specific genres e.g gospel only, or those that cut across various genres for example Naija from Nigeria, Amapiano (South Africa) and gengetone (Kenya) songs. The trick is to get the right set of music and understand the beats, so that all songs link well together throughout the sequence.

Why listen to DJ mixes?

They are like one stop shops for your favorite music. Since they are a compilation, you get to listen to different songs you like without having to search for each of them individually. For example, if you are a lover of Hip-hop, you can get free MP3 mixes on Mdundo and listen to some of the best music from your favorite artists without having to search for each song individually on the platform.

Additionally, they are like an improved product with extra value added to them. Most disk jockeys always endeavor to add some elements into their projects in a bid to make them better and more appealing than the original song. When listening to their compilations, you are guaranteed of getting some amazing sound effects, additional beats where necessary and most importantly mash-ups and great display of creativity. All these are meant to satisfy your music hunger and leave you yearning for more.

Lastly, they are the only way you get to listen to ‘collabos’ you’be hoping will happen but there are no hopes of ever seeing them. For example a DJ can pick a Rihanna song and blend it with a Nadia Mukami, Sauti Sol or Khaligraph Jones creating a ‘collabo’ that otherwise would have been non-existent. This way you get to listen to what a collaborative project between the two may sound like, even though it may never happen.
