Morning Dino.

Listening now and commenting as the mix moves along. I think the transition between track 4-5 was odd. I can't put my finger on it. It seemed you laid down your manly hand and forced them together when it sounded sort of unbalanced. Roads! You used Roads! I wish you would have stretched that out. The transition into it was very abrupt. Still listening... ewww that all sounds so negative

I didn't use roads! It's the song that sampled it 4 years ago! As for the transition into it.. i had that electro bit looping for minutes building up to it.. It's just the track that drops off like that.. Thanks for the feedback! I can see what you mean about 4-5.. mental post it written. Keep it coming!!!

downloading!

+1 for using non-roads version of roads

wish it were longer also.

haha that's what i told him, tho i kept sayin Massive Attack: i always confuze those two

awesome mix! definitely gets an A overall.

if you want me to be super critical:
-brickwall baby into creepy thoughts. that mix sounds a bit like you were caught off guard and brickwall baby just plays out til the end of the record then abruptly drops.
-i think the last mix was every so slightly off, other than that, awesome job!

like i said, minor mistakes though! congrats on a killer mix!

finished yesterday.

the 2nd half seemed to flow much better, less halting transitions. Very chill! and definately TA friendly which should bring in loads of responses and be appreciated by a larger mass, minus me. hahah. jk. It's commendable you have such a broad scope on different genres, as none of your mixes sound the same. What's next, huhHUH?

ohmahgawd! Look who's in my sig!!! 2 blue pixie sticks for whomever guesses correctly.

Edgar Ramirez


Now gimmie gimmie gimmie.

Thanks Estella! WIll keep those things in mind.. I know some of the mixes were my usually long mixes, just trying some dif tunes.. some ended weird

Cheers!

OMG, you put Roads in it.

j/k.

Sooo funnAY gurl, sooo funnnAY. \o/

LIES!!

I was under the impression that this was a progressive trance set, but its all prog house with subtle hints of trance in between. Although this is not what I expected I still listened so here�s what I think: As in your previous mixes there exists your signature style and essence that oozes out of every one your sets. I can�t say I feel any different than I did listening to your other sets. You have a style that works for you and your returning listeners but I simply cannot get into it. At first I thought it was your track selection, but then I realized it�s acquired taste so my reviews are limited to the technical side of dj�ing. With that said, you�ve come a long way from your double beat days as dinoXpress and overall you have finally mastered the skill that is mixing (ie volume leveling, beatmatch, flow, etc) so kudos to you for that.

One thing I can criticize you on is your perception of progressive trance. If this is truly your idea of progressive trance then you have a lot to learn my friend. In fact I�m coming out with a progressive trance mix pretty soon so look out for that one and trust me, you�ll notice the difference between house and trance.

I mean this was more on the progressive HOUSE side of things with some trancey bits in there too.. Thanks for the review.. i appreciate how you still listen to them! Haha- cheers mate.

Cheers, would love to hear more about what you have to think...


Thanks Kadomony!

Props for including Kenny's back, less props for including the Mike Monday remix of it. Original beats it any day.

I'll try and have a listen this week.
