I am doing a lot of mix tapes lately and I always find that picking the last tune is one helluva tuff challenge.To me its the most powerful record of the set cause it leaves that lasting impression on the listener.SO, with that said.... what would your last-play of choice be?AND, if anything, what are you saying with it?Doesn't matter what it is, funk, soul, jazz, hippety hop, whatever......At the moment mine is AKO's Untitled. and I'm saying 'This stuff is serious son. Now you go away and think on it'

    Something real chill so you can cool out at the end of the tape. Joints like the live version of "Summer Madness."

    I think one of the best was on paulnice's breaks for days, the doubles of "get thy bearings" was an unbeleivable moment.

    You gotta leave em wanting more.

    Gamm is a "cheeky" rmx/re-edit side label of Raw Fusion run by Mad Mats and based out of Stockholm. There're 4-5 stores in the world that get preferential treatment w/ GAMM releases, stocking them months in advance of general release. The Todd Terje re-edit showed up in those 4-5 shops about a month ago. The official release is supposedly mid May, fingers crossed.

    Cool. I'll look for that when it comes out. Got to support Scandinavia.
    Back on topic: I like to play the 8-minute version of "El Raton" from

    Great lead vocals from Cheo Feliciano, moving call-and-response with the backup singers, nice intensity buildup ??? perfect closer. Gets the ladies everytime.

    I'm definitely more of one of those - go with the chill outro - types.

    Carless Donovan's cover of "Be Thankful For What You Got" has closed not one, but two mixtapes of mine.

    Outkast's "Elevators" is another great closer.

    Usually, I want to find some mega-chill, sublime soul cut. On some Moments' "Sexy Lady" tip, you know?

    Not for tapes, but I leave most party's with "Beast of Burdon."

    since most bars shut down around these parts at 3AM...there is nothing more perfect than Johnny Guitar Watson "3 hours past midinight" for me.

    one of my favs to end it all is "Pavanne" by the Soulful Strings (from that live record) (props to Scope for making this the last song on one of his tapes and pointing me on it years ago).
    an incredible nice german tune to finish the night off (or get it started again, depending on where you play is "Morgens um 5" by Mary Roos, a laid back tune bout what the city is like at 5 in the morning. that is my ish.

    When I used to DJ my closer for a long time was the ODB version of "Good Morning Heartache", it always seemed appropriate at 3 or 4AM.
