I listened to this a few days ago, on my laptop speakers. Here’s my feedback.

  • Thanks for the tracklist and download link!

  • Track selection as sci-fi as the description suggests. Interesting to see that some tracks were unreleased, always nice to see exclusives and such. I had my personal taste issue with regards to the overall style, doesn’t seem to vary that much in terms of aesthetic or beat patterns for such otherwise “intelligent” music.

  • Mixing was good in terms of phasing and phrasing. Heard a little drift in one or two mixes, but generally good considering the complexity of the music.

Thanks for posting, and keep at it!

cheers Awesomer, thanks for the feedback! yeah a couple of places were a bit “turbulent” due to lack of my experience with CDJs (previously I played vinyl only)

more mixes to come…

Optical Tracker 4 already designed, coming in a month :wink:
