I listened to this disk today while cutting cucumbers and then eating tempeh with peanut sauce and cucumber salad for lunch. Here’s my feedback.
Thanks for the tracklist and download link!
Regarding the track selection.. I don’t care for this style of very minimal/unchanging dj tool techno, and I especially don’t like it when each track is played for a long time. I was a little worried when I saw the mix was techno and 6 tracks in 30 minutes. None of the tracks seemed to have any progressive element or anything for a listener to “hold onto.” To me this sort of music begs out to be mixed quickly and with heavy EQ to give it more personality. I did not hear any obvious long layering in the mixes or any cutting or EQ tricks.
Levels were generally ok. Phasing was fine, is this a traktor mix or something with sync? Phrasing was essentially non-applicable due to the style of music in question. Mix began at a 6 in energy level and stayed around there. I prefer more of an intro and outro and a variation in energy level over the course of 30 minutes. 30 minutes is a good length for a mix.
You really don’t want to be one of those DJ’s that plays one track, let’s it end, and press play on the next track. 6 songs in 30 minutes is no bueno man
