Yeah, I think so. It started with something from Fear & Loathing, right? Did I not leave a comment?

It was a good mix, I listened a few times. I prefer prog-psy to be a little slower that how you mixed it, but you had some wicked tracks in there. Sorry for posting a comment here, I can't be arsed looking for the thread

Yeah, that was the one

Heh, thanks, you could have just clicked on my Set Archive link in my sig you know That mix never broke 135 BPM, but it did have rolling basslines in almost every track, so I can imagine the higher energy didn't quite do it for you. Thanks!

the psy part scares me, but i got you out of your comfort zone, so i shall listen to this tonight to see how i can deal with being out of mine.

I was listening to this while walking the dog. The first track was very hooky and I was enjoying it. There was a track somewhere around 22 minutes I didn't like, it sounded like a prog psy equivalent of Tiesto's Traffic. The mix really started heating up around 30 minutes which, coincidentally, is when it began to absolutely pour it down with rain. Turns out this is great music for running half-blinded through torrential rainfall.

So the listening conditions weren't ideal. I definitely enjoyed it, but I'll need to listen again to give any detailed feedback.

this was pretty good as far as psy goes to me. i am as far from an expert on the genre as one can possibly be, but as mentioned before the speed of the mix makes it way more palatable then what i would usually consider psy to be (aka too pounding and unbearable unless on enough drugs to kill a farm animal.) I didn't notice any slips in mixing, and was able to make it through in one shot without comitting suicide so this was a great set.

I think you did a good job with this, and although i still don't think i will pursue this genre more, i will certainly listen to another set if it is on the slower side as this one is.

Thanks for the listen and comments ziptnf, gehzumteufel, Adam420 and SYSTEM-J.

Eh? How did you get me out of my comfort zone? I followed house and techno for years before I got into psy. I've seen everyone from Mark Farina, Simon Dunmore and DJ Sneak to Sven Vath, Shlomi Aber, Stacey Pullen and Joris Voorn.

I'm actually seeing Oxia, Dubfunk, Omar S and Matthew Dear in a few weeks; it's going to be an awesome gig and I can't wait. Thanks for listening and commenting though mate; I really appreciate it.

No problem! I downloaded your other mix Stu posted, but have yet to get a go at listening.

It still doesn't make sense.

I think he means psy makes him uncomfortable. Meaning my sets will never be downloaded to his harddrive

i tried yours...did you try mine:P


i just do not know how to deal with psy because well, i don't like it. I try to, i just can only take it in small doses, it does not make it bad, just not for me.

And domesticated it makes a lot of sense, i gave your set a listen (circle jerk), because you have given me the benefit of the doubt. I just can't stomach psy (aka outside of my comfort zone)...i could tell you it is awesome, but like i think you review my sets i respect you enough to say what i really feel

heil hitler.

To which I replied: 'no, you didn't get me out of my comfort zone [when I listened to your set]'

To which you replied: 'I meant my comfort zone, sorry liquid lunch today'

Which would make it read as thus:

...which makes absolutely no sense.

liquid lunch = drinking without paying so probably.

i did not hate this and the mixing was good, i just can not say i love psy i will still listen if you keep the bpm low low low

Surprisingly, yes, I've listened to ADD & Chimichurri, Bienvenue Au Freak Show, and Zaggazaw

I never posted in your threads because I felt like I couldn't give an informed enough opinion about Tech House since I know absolutely nothing about it... I would feel silly giving my opinion without any previous knowledge. "Hey man, nice set" has always been the kind of feedback that irks me. It makes me feel like they didn't even listen... people like woscar, endyo, Greg Pidcock, Az, and all the other House nuts have such a wealth of knowledge that my comment of "there were some cool tracks, but I felt like it plodded along without a whole lot of entertaining moments" makes me feel like I just don't understand the genre well enough.

I do like your sound, Jay, and I respect it immensely, just the same as I respect all the TA DJ's. We all have our own style and sound, we're all incredibly creative when it comes to set structure and mixing styles, so I suppose feedback of any sort helps I'll download One Night on the Way To, and leave you some feedback!

Final bump.

Thanks again to all who downloaded and listened. I'm still having a hard time finding exactly the right tracks for it, but my next mix is going to be a double, with two hour long portions. The artwork was finished about two months ago by a friend of mine and looks superb.

I'm mostly listening progressive house, progressive trance and trance, but I'm getting more and more open to other styles as well. Just stumbled (no not via that website )upon your mix and just finished listening to it.

The start is nice, but I like the 2nd part of the mix more. Just personal taste. Good track selection there! Sometimes I miss a bit of melody but that's because of my musical background, I think. Sending this to some of my friends also. ;-)

Thanks for the share!

I contemplated doing that with my last mix (splitting it in two). I think it's something to keep in mind for the future (and as such create two contrasting mixes).

Anyway, looking forward to it. I've still gotta listen to your February mix though.

I always try and keep my mixes under 70 minutes because I like print CDs with the artwork on them and distribute them to my mates.

It's always such a fun way to do a music project, I did that with Taijitu and plan to do that with Taijitu Returns which will be released in a week or two.

Can I pre-order?

Yes, it will cost you your first born child.

Sold!

On it.

I downloaded this about a month ago but never got round to commenting. Really solid, superb mixing and a bunch of good tracks. It really sucked me in when I was walking to work and made the hour pass quickly which is always good. I dont know whether this would work for me if I heard it in a club, maybe early on, but for isolating yourself from the madness whilst wandering around town its absolutely perfect
