Maybe I'm just old-fashioned, but I really wish this set had been mixed on turntables. The track selection is perhaps the best of any set I've heard in the last 2-3 years, which is why I find it so dissapointing. IMO, the true magic of a great DJ comes in how they play the tunes, how they get the crowd going, and how instead of just playing a bunch of tracks, they compile a bunch of great songs and with their talent and skill, blend them into a cohesive whole. I felt this set had almost no flow and little energy. Maybe I'm just weird and don't like the sound of computer mixing, but I felt this could have been something really special if it were manually mixed.
In spite of all this, the track selection of this set is absolutely brilliant. For that I have to give it an 8/10
