Music I like

I've listened to a bit of dubstep, including some Caspa & Rusko stuff which I really hated. However, based on the review below, this sounds good. Downloading.

Also, yes, the artwork is awesome.

I gave this a listen while I was doing some reading, so I wasn't paying close attention to the technical aspects. Nothing stood out as jarring and the flow from track to track seemed nice and smooth.

This is a different style of dubstep to what I'm familiar with, which I suppose is the more British side of things. I can see how this side of dubstep crosses with dub techno. This set was very mellow, and nicely atmospheric.

If I have a criticism it's that the set didn't really seem to go anywhere or reach anything. For a chill-out set it was nice because of the steady mood, but if I were listening closely I think I'd probably get a bit impatient with this in parts because it's more or less the same vibe throughout. For me, a vibe can only be maintained across a home listening set without variation if it's a very distinctive or unique atmosphere.

That said, that criticism is harsh because it was done on the spur of the moment, with no pre-planning. Whenever I do a set for TA I plan it out for aaaages: I make a big list of candidate tracks with tempos, keys and moods from which the tracklist is taken, and I take a couple of draft runs seeing if things work. Mixing on the fly with just a box (or HDD) of tracks makes it much harder to get flow and programming perfect.

Overall: cool mix, I enjoyed it.

Austin I really enjoyed this set. With every dubstep set that I listen to I come to appreciate the genre more. And I have a pretty good idea what kind of dubstep I like, and it's definitely the kind that's included in this mix. I love how the melodies are really chilled out and smooth, while the basslines are kind of crazy and all over the place. It's a really nice contrast which I think is ultimately what makes this music so cool. I think you did a great job in the mixing department and the tracks were really all very good. Should definitely be keeping this on my MP3 player for a while.

My thoughts very much echo System-J's. I've listened to a bit of dubstep which tended to be closer to big beat/grime and was dark, disjointed and overly aggressive.

In comparison, each track in this set has wonderful coherency and a nicer, ambient feel. I really enjoyed it, to my surprise. I definitely agree that this stuff has more of a dub techno feel, and it's interesting. Some of the tracks feel really fresh and have very unique ideas. I think my favourite track was the last one, it was quite sinister and I loved the sheer repetition.

Your flow is great; the advance of each track was good and the mood remained appropriate the whole way.

Mixing was pretty good, though there were a few tiny bits (29:40, for example). Overall though, I thought the mixing was excellent. I think you have improved markedly since Dog Days and It's Just The Chemicals.

Keep up the good work mate.

Forgot to comment on this. But yeah, me and Ralph listened to this a couple times last week and we dug it. Lots of great tracks and full of the dubstep sound I love.

I wouldn't have a clue about dubstep. Gonna listen and learn.

Posted by enydo on Jul-20-2009 18:25:

Thanks very much for taking a listen guys. I just went through this again yesterday and it's really the first mix I've been able to listen to multiple times and still be decently proud of it.

Posted by Teezdalien on Jul-20-2009 23:05:

Sorry I can't really give you much in the way of criticism as I really have no knowledge or experience with dubstep. Really like the tune early on which reminded me of the tek classic Man Alive. Really good mix I thought and gonna keep it on my phone for a while.

Calm and relaxing, nice.

Gonna begin working on my next dubstep thingy quite soon, been gathering tracks for a while. Any last minute criticism would be much appreciated.
