Minimal and Melancholia Mix--Mostly minimal, not particularly melancholic

[waifl]

Hey folks,

Just wanted to toss a mix up to begin integrating myself into this community (long-time lurker), and to maybe get some constructive criticism. Mixed in Traktor Pro on an Allen & Heath XD with Maschine running effects. There's sort of a flub toward the tail end of the mix, but I'm pretty happy with how it turned out in general.

Hope you enjoy!

I would have listened to this (tracklist looks interesting) but these days I only have time to listen to mixes via streaming, and for that I need download links. FWIW!

[Citizen_Insane]

I'm about 20 minutes in and really liking it, a download link would be much appreciated.

[bigheadmikelove]

I finally had a chance to listen to your mix. Good work! Nice track selection, and I really liked the "dramaturgy" of it. I have two minor points to make.

First, the set becomes pretty peak-timish through your use of Machine, i.e. at times the effects aren't exactly subtle. I don't mean this as a criticism and this might be obvious to you anyways. Just wanted to mention it. I played your mix at a small end-of-year get-together and my beer-drinking, weed-smoking friends in their late 20s/early 30s found it a little too rough at times. (As for myself, I thought your use of Maschine was pretty cool.)

Second, occasionally the phasing wasn't 100% spot-on (or maybe, the effects weren't perfectly tempo-synced). I'd have to listen to it again to pin-point it exactly. It certainly was never off severely but it seemed there were two, three spots somewhere in the middle of the mix where it wasn't completely tight.

thanks so much for listening! I'd be happy to return the favor anytime.
