- Thanks for the details in the post and download link, but I would have appreciated a tracklist in this post as well, so I don't have to click through to soundcloud.
- I like the intro track, pretty "intro-y", though you get right into about a "7" in terms of energy right away.
- The first mix sounds good to me, appropriate transition. "7" to an "8".
- Second mix you bring in the new track a bit loud, but it's exciting and almost forgivable. "8" to a "9".
- Nice drop on the "fuckin down" mix. But 3 tracks in a row by the same artist? Weird...
- In general you seem to be mixing very quickly. It's appropriate for this kind of music but sometimes I think you rush your phrasing a bit by doing so, like on the mix into "space banana".
- You also seem to be generally mixing in pretty loud instead of gradually bringing tracks in. This is probably also somewhat a side effect of mixing quickly.
- Ok, now I'm confused. Your tracklist seems to be wrong, because the track you have listed as track 2 is what is playing now.
- You messed up the A Milli remix mix a bit, which I'm sure you know, but I think it was too quick after the previous track and probably not a great choice to blend. I also HATE tracks that sample really current tracks like this, which is not your fault.
- A track comes on and I kinda wish I knew who it was, but I don't trust your tracklist anymore. Bleh.
- 8:36 An interesting mix into the middle of a breakdown/build, pretty exciting but a bit off. We are definitely at a 10 by now for energy.
- I guess this is "Pokay" by Ton!c, which is pretty damn bangin.
- Pretty exciting phrasing on the mix out of it, but again you bring in the new record close to full volume and it sounds a little too abrupt.
- I like that this (afrojack?) track seems to be taking it down a little bit, cruising back down to an 8 or so..
- 10:55 still mixing and you seem to have both basses playing at once. LOUD.
- 11:10 neat, a vocal! good place for one.. I guess this is still afrojack?
- 12 minutes and change, a roughish mix which you correct fast enough that nobody would notice in the club.
- 12:40 - boy this style of music has a lot of breakdowns, builds and drops.
- 13 minutes, enjoying the groove back down around a "7" for energy.
- I look at the tracklist for the second "track" and get confused. It's three parts and one of them is only two songs?
- We are cruising back down to a 6/7 on this next mix, getting a bit deeper and I can appreciate that at this appx midway through the mix point.
- I leave the room with the computer in at this point, but you cruise back downa bit and then build back up with a vocal about wanting to lay every girl. I guess I'm seeing the theme? I return to leave this comment at about 22 minutes, where it picks back up to an 8 again.
- In general all of your tracks blend well harmonically, so even when you make a roughish mix, things sound good.
- "Beautiful Girls" remix. Alright, more of the vibe/theme.
- 25 minutes, getting pretty progressive/epic... seems reasonable considering the mix is almost over.. getting in your last epic shots..
- This track has a synth line that sounds like "sandstorm" by darude. I feel old.
- I wander away for the keyboard for the last few minutes of your mix, but it seems like instead of winding things down, you bring up the energy a bit again. I would have liked to see you rinse the steady progression downwards and out.
Thanks for posting, and keep at it!
