Originally posted by Echo of Silence I think I take advantage of my Rapidshare premium account more than the other two. I don't download / upload as much as I once did, I suppose. Of the three, I seem to use mediafire the most. Like if I want to upload something to share with my sisters, I automatically go to mediafire. I probably don't use the megaupload enough to justify the premium account.

I'm really not a fan of Rapidshare's new pricing system.

Mediafire is pretty awesome and quick.

I just prefer Megaupload for uploading big and zipped things so I'll probably end up getting an account one of these days. At least for a month, to try it out.

A very... unconventional entry for August, from a TA who has almost as many alts as he has posts. Never one for playing by the rules, the bastard gave me neither a tracklist nor a proper link, and promptly went on holiday before I could get such things from him. Hopefully when you listen all should become clear.

Oh man, that intro.

I really shouldn't be surprised

I know you won't be reading this for days, Jay, but what a fucking bomb to close on. This mix is definitely a weird one, but I wanted people to play things completely outside what they normally share on TA, and you showed off a broad spectrum of your tastes.

Also, play from 67 minutes in this mix, and tell me where you've heard that tune before... 3.45 here.

Oh, and here:

...Never made that connection before.

This was my favorite mix so far, actually. Really showcases range of sound and depth of influences, here. And lots of great old blues gems!

been ignoring some of these as of late but anyhow.
enydo. liked your mix, i think the first half with the rock tunes was nice until it started dragging on a bit, i think it wouldn't have bothered if i wasn't listening to it from a computer. don't get me wrong, i still enjoyed it. good progression from the progressive rock bits into the whole b.o.c./dj shadow/bt bit and i liked how you used the album version song of life since it has that dub beginning. the mix from lush 3-1 into heller & farley was clean and barely noticable. good job.

david michael. i enjoyed it but it was patchy. it started out nice but those two fear factory and project 86 tracks just became a whole load of depressing. it didn't really resolute into anything particular, i just thought it plodded until "here comes again" came on.

following my comment on enydo's mix, i'm not hating on downtempo sections of these kind of mixes. it's just a fine art of pulling some of them off and i'm guilty of this aswell (just check "more phases" for instance) and one needs some bite otherwise it's either coffee-table or blandness.

but anyhow, it did pick up and i really liked some of the creative transitions, like eurythmics into kraftwerk which was an effective cut. the only one which sort of didn't work was janet jackson into garbage but it was good tracks all along and funk bits was chunky. well done.

Thanks for the very useful review, Tony. Much obliged.

Yeah, I really struggled with how to put it all together without it feeling "patchy", but I just kinda let it happen due to the nature of the project.

ziptnf, listened to yours aswell and i read your reason to do keep it all psy but yeah. it's weak for a project like this but the mix wasn't bad. you are a good dj and the transitions are great, some of the full on tunes weren't to my liking. but yeah, overall it was good. not anything more than that.

now onto jay's i think.

Hey, wow, thanks for the review. I'm sure I could have found another group of tracks that wasn't psytrance that represented my tastes while growing up, but most of the tracks would probably be too well-known and make it a weak submission as well. Not a ton of creativity, just a collection of my favorite proggy/full-on tracks.

jay. your mix was proper. i wasn't that found of that first track but your selections was great and your comments were amusing. well done.

jack, "the mexican" is a classic b-boy track, the bits copying of morricone was the favourite of kool herc and other new york dj's. when arthur baker & bambaata made "planet rock", it was obvious what parts they wanted to use to form the collage that is "planet rock".

Loved your mix, Jay. Dug the shit out of David Bowie, The Mexican, and the Stones. Way to bust out the "radio show" mixing style, I enjoyed that just as much as the music 78 minutes of pure Canadian entertainment.

Also, cocks.

decade of drops

Big anthems from more late nineties early naughties... didnt take much care of matching...but just some absolute anthems with the bigger drops. Enjoy,

I'm guessing you didn't read the rules, as this isn't a free-for-all on classic mixes. Either that, or this is a very cheeky way to get people to click on your link.

By the way, are you from Leeds?

apologies

no ur right i didnt read thru the rules correctly....or didnt understand them right! It wasnt a cheeky way for the link im not 'one of those'.

Yeh im from leeds pal, well, more wakefield way....but lived out in Middle East for last 14yrs. Im back in uk now for the summer.

thanks for the listens fellas.

when jack asked me to do this,(well this time, last time i had to bail to to technical difficulties) i really wanted to do something that had not been done yet really in this series by not putting in any electronic music. I hope it was a success...my only regret was not having more time, because i felt like i could not incorporate everything i wanted to....

it was my first time doing a radio style set with garage band (the options for voice overs are pretty awesome), and i hope i got better as it went on. I'll get a tracklist up soon, promise.

@ system...call me surprised that you like le freak c chic. I thought it an absolute cheesy as fuck way to end this

Mate, I dropped Abba in mine. Cheesy disco bothers me not. I quite like Chic in general, and I have a friend who totally loves them so he plays them a lot, but this was one of those moments where you hear a classic pop track and you really hear it for the first time. I don't know if, despite the big pauses, the lack of mixing and the talking, you created the right flow for it to hit or whether it's just because I was paying attention closely... but when you dropped Freak Out it was one of those pop orgasms in my mind.

cool

i actually found that doing a radio style show was harder than doing a regular dj set.

Tracklist!

Just listen to it, bro, he says the name of each track before he plays it.

Ok ok, it's just that I like to know what I get before listening, especially when it comes to DJs who normally play stuff that isn't exactly up my alley.

His set is very accessible, even for eurodance and psytrance fags like us.
