Where can i play those Mix songs that play on kiss108 on friday/saturday nights?

Question

you know those songs that play on the top 40 radio stations on saturday or Friday nights where they take a ton of good songs that have been playing and mix them into one song that sounds realllly cool all together, because they kinda go... where can I find thoseeeee

Answer 1

Good luck in finding them. That type of stuff is usually mixed one of three ways.

1. The station will hire a DJ to come into the studio and do a live mix.

2. The station will hire a production service that specialses in mixing recent top 40 tracks. From there the Production Company will produce a single mix track that plays for a specific amount of time to allow for commercial breaks.

3. The station has someone within the production department that produces the mixes and renders them down to a single track to be played. Basically an "In House" version of #2.

So as you can see....that stuff you hear on the radio is not picked up at your local CD Shop or downloaded and played over the radio. Each station custom tailors the mixes to what it hot in that market. IE: A song that is #1 in Atlanta, GA is more than likely NOT #1 in Dallas, TX. This is just a fact of the industry.

You could call the station during regular business hours and ask them if they record those sets and offer them for resale. But I seriously doubt they do.
