Great mix, start to finish. Thoroughly enjoyable set. Master those few little beat slips, and you'll be on fire!

Just finished it and loved it.

The flow was on spot, I missed any beatmatching imperfections, the track selection could have not been any more consistent, and overall it was a perfect start. The only criticism I can give is to watch a little more the phrasing and time a little better your cues, but this mix was nothing short of bliss. Loved it mate, don't quit.

Will check even though I dislike pretty much everything on anjuna deep.

check it

Thanks Kenny! Glad you enjoyed it as much as you did. I'll keep your advice in mind for my next mix which hopefully will be better on the mixing side

Thanks Clovis!

I enjoyed this mix. There were some mixing problems but the nice tracklist made up for them.

Mix is very nice. 50/50 progressive trance & progressive house. 3rd track is awesome. But it's really isn't good to put 5 Paul Keeley tracks, they may fit good to each other, but there are many other good tracks, from first look at that tracklist first thought Paul Keeley promo mix Only good they don't sound similar to each other. As for me, prelast track wasn't on it's place. So in total mix is good. I would put 7/10. -3 for too many Paul Keeley tracks 5/12 it's 41.6%, a little bit wrong tracks placing, 1 awesome track (i would put 2 in 77minutes set). So here's my opinion about your set, Oscar.

Cheers
Andrey

Thanks mate! Good to know you like Desyn, Rowan, and Luke as well

Hope you enjoy the set and if you have some time let me know what you think, ok?

Listening through this again, woscar. Very solid track selection, man! Keep up the good work.

it was pretty fun to listen to some of this type of music again,

i enjoyed the track at 14min. the most, really liked that bassline. beatmatching was off in some parts but that doesn't always matter. solid all in all man

Really enjoyed a lot of the stuff on here. Haven't really listened to something like this in a while so it was pretty refreshing.

Nice work man.

I really enjoyed the mix. I think your sound is actually a bit different than Desyn etc. I guess I'd classify this mix as epic house. That's probably a mis-classification, but I loved the beautiful breakdowns and builds. I thought the the combination of tracks was greater than each track by itself, the flow was excellent, sans a couple of tracks. But really the sound overall was very inspiring. I felt proud to be a part of EDM after this mix. More than just oon-tss, but music with a higher purpose.

<---needs to lay off the reefer

Jaytech, Jay Lumen, Graham & Blades - I'm in! Looking forward to this, I've always been into your recommendations (Desyn + others). Listening now...

edit: ace mix! This was a lot of fun to listen to, great progression and programming, this really got me moving. Mixing was pretty good overall, but damn, your track sequence was spot on, especially those last 3 tracks! Perfect use of Sunset Boulevard there, when I heard it kick in I about fell out of my chair.

Very much excited to hear other stuff you put out. Keep it up!

Oscar, i meant that your prelast track would be better to put in the middle rather than at the end.

Thanks for the comments, its been really nice to read good things about my track selection and the general flow and direction of the set.

Which tracks did you feel weren't on the right place?

Again, thanks for listening camshaft and for the review.

You have no idea how good it feels to do something and put it out for people to listen to it and getting all these good responses. It gives you confidence to keep going and to get better.

Finally got to listen. Well done, enjoyed the set. I think you've done a good job showing who your influences are but mixing it up a bit to make it a style of your own.

Didn't like the placement of Argie Bargie though...ruined the flow for me. That track is more of a peak tune imo, was way too early in the mix. But then again it could be that I'm being biased because of the placement on my mix

Other than that, few beatmatching slip ups but everything was just fine. Keep em coming

Good track selection, a pleasure to enjoy this mix driving back from an open air festival last night. Nothing compares to Prog&House in terms of afterhours chillout

cool mix

Thanks to all for the support! I really didn't expect so much responses and feedback since it's the first mix I've ever made and posted here.

This has been my background music when I'm at the gym... I absolutely love this sound... not sure how to classify it, although BP would consider it "progressive house", it's different from the tribal and organic textures in the prog of old. The track selection is fantastic, which I already told you before I even downloaded the mix, the actual mixing is very good, apart from a few points that are slightly off... but even then it's nothing that pulls me out of the groove. And if I want to get really picky, I think there are some slight issues with the flow... Personally I would consider Argie Bargie and Shadows Movement peaktime tracks (and they are certainly the peaks of your mix).

Can't wait for your next mix!

Thanks, it's so cool to know people are enjoying this

Can you please elaborate on the flow? I'd like to know more so I can improve

Thanks!

So it took me a long time to get back to you on this, Oscar, but I wanted to wait until I could actually take the time and give you some complete feedback rather than just a "nice set m8!"

I know that you've compared yourself to Desyn and Luke because both of them have influenced you quite a bit, but I'd agree with whomever it was that said this was a bit more epic (generally) than I'd expect from either of those two. Don't get me wrong, the influence of both of them is absolutely clear - you just definitely put your own spin on it, which is definitely a good thing.

For me, this one was all about the first 6 tunes. They flowed together very, very well and reminded me quite a bit of Desyn's Budapest set from 2005 or 2006 - don't remember which. Flow was spot on, and though the mixes fall off a touch here and there, it really doesn't matter because the flow is on point.

I did think that "Argie Bargie" came at a weird time, however, and really took me out of the mix for the last bit. It's your first one, so really this is a very minor criticism, and the end of the set worked fine, but having that one jarring, oddball tune in there just kind of removed me from the overall vibe of the set.

All in all it's a great first effort and I hope the feedback you've gotten from folks here has made you consider purchasing a setup of your own even more heavily. Look forward to seeing where you go from here.
