A load of belters in this one, Dave. Some better than others but this is the type of techno that I like: classic repetition-based EDM with high energy and plenty of variation. I enjoyed working out to this mix. I'm going to do the usual and cherry pick this one, because you have excellent taste. Thanks for this!
Not quite as sold on this one as your boat party mix, Dave. There were some absolute bangers in here but the programming (perhaps deliberately) seemed to space them out so this mix never got quite enough momentum going for my liking. Other random comments: the opener was really good, but I was a bit disappointed you mixed out of it so quickly (and slightly jarringly). And the Dundov tune, although very nice, felt a bit out of place at the end. The mixing was mostly very good as usual, but it sometimes felt like the levels were a bit off between tracks. The tunes themselves were all very, very good. Overall I'd say the lack of planning is audible, but there are still a few tracks in here I'd like to investigate further. The last I Like This, on the other hand, is still getting plays from me. It's a perfect wake-up-and-go mix for the morning commute.
So Ive decided to try to restart this by committing myself to recording an hour every week. Its a much to just keep me doing stuff as anything. I'll just keep updating this thread as I go...

These are really good, Dave, as I expected them to be As always, an excellent job blending new and old tracks. I especially loved the spacey vibes at the end of the second mix. How much are these pre-planned?
