Hope you guys enjoy as much as we did recording it.

Why would you post a 10min mix to begin with?

It was to send to as a promo for electro-house, with shorter transitions/song lengths. Its 10min 5 songs. Not all mixes have to be 1-2 hours long

Of course they do! How else are you going to establish a groove, an atmosphere and be able to make something memorable for people so they want to come back to it again and again?

DJing is all about creating a listening experience that they'll remember and want to listen to again and again. Hardly something you can establish in a 10minute span.

Its more of a here's what we can do sort of mix. Something we sent in to try and get a local gig. We as well do have hour long mixes accompanied with it. Just thought some people might wanna here it as well

electro house? Sound more like a genre called 'commercial' or 'boring'

first off, didnt your parents ever say to you when you were a child --- "if you dont have anything nice to say, dont say it at all" -- cause it seems like a few people might have missed that lil nugget of knowledge growing up.

second, the OP posted a mix to get some feedback/exposure -- most likely posting here because he (or she) values the opinions of the people in this forum and was excited to share a mix they created to like minded people...

now, if we all start acting like a bunch of arrogant pricks, how does that foster a creative environment in which we can all further our knowledge of our craft? if thats what you guys wanna do, dont start bitching when you see people who dont know shit about mixing.

third, anyone can create a hour long mix thats decently good to listen to, yet trying to do the same in a short 10 min time span and still creating a mix that will grab peoples attention (without having to devote an hour or more) to listening to it to get the "full journey" you so speak of. IMHO, its much harder to create a good 10 min mix compared to a good hour+ mix.

AND electro house is a real broad genre. who really gives a shit. all of those songs were either electro house (ish) remixes and/or house mixes. do you really know what genre EVERY song fits into? sub categories and all?
