I'm going to upload my November mix that I used it in. I don't really want to upload the track itself (don't know what I'm going to do with it in the future). I'll post a link to the November mix here soon.

The start was a lot more sudden than I like; I think it's better to find at least one more-laid back track to begin with. However, full-on is pretty tough in this regard.

Not sure what the "typical name" for the particular lead sound is in full-on, but for my tastes, the mix contained far too much of it. An example can be found at the 2:30 mark in the very first song or at the 68 minute mark later on; that kind of fast, panning swishy synth that so many producers seem to use. I find those type of melodies a bit hectic and generic after a while, but that's personal preference of course.

I think in your next mix you would do better to introduce some variance and have tracks of all different kinds in there, because otherwise, full-on becomes far too monotonous. Not saying that my mix posted further up the thread is better than yours or some kind of model to follow, but you will notice that I started with some melodic, less hard-hitting stuff, had some transition in the way of Zen Mechanics, then moved into the harder Israeli stuff before finishing melodic again but trying to revive some of the energy with the last two tracks. In contrast, I found you used the same kind of tracks the whole way through and lacked flow as a result. That said, the melodic breaks around the 80 minute mark in the second last track were a good way to close out the set.

Mixing wise, I didn't have a problem. I think full-on can be quite hard to mix at times, as the bass lines will either work well with one another or clash horribly. I even found in my last mix that I got phasing in one case! Your transitions were pretty smooth and pleasing, though I think there is still room for improvement.

I find this to be an ironic statement when I take a look at your latest tracklist (and yes, i've listened to your set)... You used the same artists multiple times (artists tend to stick to a certain sound, wheres the variance??), and a couple times back to back, yet you're telling GB that he needs to find variance when his set only had the one "repeat" artist and it was at the beginning and end of the set (Bio-Genesis).

You guys don't play the same style/sound, so your personal preference is gonna clash with his style of spinning. Telling him to change his style is just as arrogant as if he asked you to change your style because its too progressive and not what he likes.

Give your head a shake.

Sure, I've used the same artists multiple times, but Protoculture has a completely different sound from that of Headroom or Domestic, as does Chronos or Zen Mechanics. My only point was that, in general, full-on tracks are all very formulaic and similar to one another when compared with house or techno, and thus I think you have to make more of an effort to mix it up a bit.

My comments weren't intended to rude or negative, they were supposed to be constructive, which is what we're all looking for when we post mixes here, right?
