I listened to your DJ mix on my laptop speakers on a Wednesday afternoon. Here’s my feedback.

  • Tracklist indicates what I consider good taste in modern deep stuff/“future garage” on the edge of deep house. By which I mean that my GF and I play a number of these artists and tracks (Adana Twins “Everyday” etc..). I wasn’t wild about the sorta farty bass on “Horizon” by Ejeca.

  • Phrasing and phasing were pretty good. I heard two or three rough mixes. Transitions were good, I heard some drift or busy-sounding overlap on some mixes but in general levels were also good. Extra points for it being a non-bedroom mix that sounds good. Are you mixing in traktor, it sounds like sync or equivalent was used? Didn’t hear much apparent use of EQ.

  • Thanks for the tracklist. I generally prefer mixes with a download link in case I enjoy them and want to listen again.

  • As sorta a weird question, do Bristolian college students dance to music like this? My GF and I worry that this sound is too deep for people to actually dance to, as enjoyable as it is to listen to. It’d be nice to hear how things are where you are..

Thanks for posting, and keep at it! :smiley:
