I absolutely loved this. Pretty much all the transitions were spot on, i got lost in the music as everything flowed really nice. there was not a single time i questioned a transition, or why a track was used in certain spots everything was just right. I’ve said this before with other mixes, but i mean it always and even now, this is my favourite mix on here by far. I will definitely be picking up some of the tracks played on here.
Wicked mate, glad you enjoyed it! Cant get much better critique than that! I spend a lot of time prepping these mixes, making sure each transiton sits right and the energy flows properly. Your critique is a testament to my diligence, thanks
OK im writing this as i listen, loving the logistics and commix mix. didnt think the d bridge tune worked but i always find it hard to drop in a set mixing it in and out because i think the bass is quite different to alot of other tunes out at the moment. winter in sardinia is my fav tune at the moment really like the transition in to that one. and then from heavy 1 to amoss - take a side i couldnt really hear the transitions which is a good thing, your beatmatching is pretty much spot on. i think the hardest thing is choosing songs and most of them sounded good except for a few which i thought didnt work well but im a perfectionist and when listening to a mix i really do listen to the transitions. i like your mixing style, long blends which imo is the way to mix dnb. very nice mix
The dbridge tune you mention, is that ‘since weve been apart’ @ 16:00 ?
Im glad you like my mixing style man, cheers for the complements.
Howd you find the flow of the mix? Ive had some comments about the transition from liquid to minimal/tech being a bit wierd. Its like a genre encompassing mix rather than being boiled down to a single sub genre. Its different strokes for different folks, but every opinion counts
The only d bridge tune in your mix yeah, i find the bass hard to mix or drop, i liked the different sub genres im not really into all these sub sub sub genres if i like it then i like it and dont care if its drumstep, half step technostep, clown step.
I pre-plan these mixes. This one probably took 2/3 weeks, several different track listings and 3 recordings to get to the finished mix. The trend im noticing is the longer I spend preparing, making sure its as tight as I can make it, the better responses I get.
I figure if you put a mix out there, you want it to be the best representation of what you can do.
My on-the-fly isnt as polished as this, but I can always call back on these mixes if I find myself playing one of the tunes in the tracklisting. Afterall, DJing is all about preparation.
