This is exactly the type of stuff I play during an opening set (the first 30-40 mins of the mix). Ilias Katelanos is a favourite of mine.
Needless to say I am enjoying this a fair bit so far Will report back when I'm done!
*edit: I'm actually quite surprised this mix is coming from you Jack lol. Did not expect you to release a mix that sounded like this to be perfectly honest I didn't in a million years envision you playing the track at 58:00 for example |
Finished the whole thing... I reiterate what I said earlier, the first 50 orso minutes were spot on.
At around the 53 minute mark I was put off by a few tracks, until around the end of the Beckwith track. I don't know if you remember, but I put out a mix a couple years ago that had that sort of vibe. I liked it then but sadly I don't particularly like the sound now More of a taste issue for me personally. At around the 78 minute mark I was drawn back in by a really awesome track. Then a few more tracks I couldn't really care for, in terms of particular taste, then my favourite part of the mix started: liquatech!
Hehe I really enjoyed the Tom Middleton binge in this mix and I definitely saw the type of progression you were aiming for. I mean I don't really have anything to say in terms of the Middleton binge because I really really love that section of the mix Only weird point is that when I hear the Easy As You Can Be remix, I ALWAYS think of the beatless version (since it's the starter track of the mix on my soundcloud). Caught me off guard when I heard the kick in the track
I'm actually quite surprised that you managed to find tracks in the same keys or at least harmonically mixable so fast to be honest. The big problem with mixing these types of tracks (really pronounced airy and warm basslines), is that it is sometimes a pain to find a track that goes well with the one preceding it. Either that or DJs have the really stupid idea of layering basslines together in a mix like this Thankfully you aren't one of those people
All in all, quite enjoyable for the summer, although because of my particular music taste changes I wasn't too fond of several tracks in the middle of the mix. End of the mix was class, especially the Universal Solution and DJ Meri tracks. Good work Jack.
