Well actually not. But for those who have been to Rahman concerts or watched them atleast, you would notice that he has started his shows by either Rangeela’s – Spirit of Rangeela or Jaage Hai. Few concerts he has begun with a mix of Mangal Pandey’s background score and then appeared on stage with Jage Hai from GURU ost. All of them superb as beginning tracks.

Lot of them out there liked it and some fellow DJs have used portions of it extensively in their playlists. I tried a non-stop mix just to test my ability to pull of something that tough because normally such mixes are made in one take. It becomes quite painful to mix them using conventional softwares especially since the track length is over 40 mins and BPMs vary from track to track. [click to continue...]
