Konvection 015 - Darker, Progressive Techno

Hi Everyone.

Long time follower of DJTechtools but have never contributed anything before now so I thought I'd share the latest in my Konvection series of mixes; a bit of a slow burner of progressive techno that takes in bits of soul, tribal and space opera melodies. Click the link if you fancy a listen. Details follow.

I have listened to your mix a few times over the last few weeks, mostly the first half hour or so of it, because I am usually in the midst of doing something else and I get cut off. I've listened in my car, on my headphones, on the speakers downstairs, and so on. Here's my feedback.

- I like your track selection a lot. This is my sort of techno, except for when it gets a bit trancey for my taste. But even those trancey bits fit into the progression of the mix. Stuff made sense melodically.

- Levels, transitions, phrasing and phasing are all very solid.

- Thanks for the tracklist and download link. File going in the "keepers" directory.

Thanks for posting, and keep at it! :D

Hey

Thanks so much for taking the time to give feedback like this - it really made my day and makes it all worthwhile. The mix of trance and techno like this is a style that has taken a long time to develop and I love how the contrasts compliment each other as well as keeping the mix moving forward as a whole.

Thanks again.

Stay tuned for more of the same :)
