Genre semantics aside, this mix has Nick written all over it.
Intense robot carnage sounds with a few (dare I say?!) melodic elements mixed into your track selections. I like how a few of the tracks you chose had the psy-beatdown we've all come to love from you but also some melodic elements akin to regular trance (I am referencing the tracks Debeli Gmaz, Into Oblivion (Affective Remix) in particular).
The pic is awesome btw.
Top tunes for me in the mix were We Are Distrikt and We Want To Dance. Great soundtrack to the pretty nasty clouds I'm looking at overhead here

Yep, you pretty much nailed what I was trying to do. I feel that this mix is a contrast from Battle Machine for a few reasons. Firstly, Battle Machine is completely tear out, from start to finish. It's significantly faster at 135-136 BPM. There are nearly zero melodic parts with the exception of the last song.
So here, I've rectified those differences with a slower, more progressive (in my opinion) start, with quite a few melodic parts in this mix, MartOpetEr - Homegrown Disaster (Roboteknic Remix) being a good example of this as well.
It's quite difficult for me to choose a favorite here. I like them all. But if I had to pick, tracks 4-7 are probably the ones. I was rocking out to Too Dusty - Stardust when I dropped it.
Thanks for listening, and for your review as always! Gonna jump on your latest mix probably tomorrow.

Definitely a fair and accurate assessment, Jack, and I appreciate the review.
What you illustrated is the overall problem with the modern breaks scene: if you try to ramp up the energy, it is inevitably going to venture into the tear-out sound. I feel like rather few artists are doing the "dark, scary, crunchy, melodic, energetic" vibe like Retroid and Hedflux are doing. They can only reach a certain level before the sound starts devolving into the sillier tear-out region and the mood is killed completely. Perhaps those tracks do exist, and I just didn't dig deep enough, but that is my viewpoint. Maybe Dave can shed some light on this issue.
Either way, I tend to agree with you because when I replay this set in the car or in the gym I only listen to the first half anyway. Thanks for the listen!
