Luke Chable?

Win set.

Lovely! Not much else to say...

Eh... this is nice and pleasant. The mixing is as smooth as you like, and you always have a knack for effortless undulating flow between tracks. And the tracks are mostly very nice.

With that said, I have to say there's nothing remotely special or stand-out about this set. Almost every artist here is really, really obvious and it doesn't feel like any crate-digging went into the tracklist. Most of these tracks are pretty old, and represent that mid-00s breaks sound that has been totally explored by now. As pozz suggested, there's little in the way of variety: nothing that's harder, funkier or more interestingly produced than the status quo.

I understand that it's hardly the aim of this set to do something unique or ground-breaking, but limited ambitions provide limited results. This is good for what it is.

i have to re-iterate jacks comments. i liked it but yeah, it isn't groundbreaking. however it really grows on one

Perhaps Jack is right when he says that the mix doesn't really cover any new territory... lots of the stuff in it were really big songs IIRC during the height of the progbreaks movement... but good music and tight mixing definitely triumph over originality. And that's exactly what this set features. Always loved Scrambler-Free, one of my first mixes I ever made featured the original version of that, mixed into Bedrock-Forge

Well, it isn't a choice between them. The more of those things a mix has, the better.

It depends on who is listening to the mix, as always. Someone who's never heard prog breaks before will find it fresh. Someone who hasn't heard prog breaks since 2004 will probably think it's a nice return to the style. Someone like me, who's constantly digging through this style, will find it a bit over-familiar.

I actually did a fair bit of crate digging, but in the end I chose to leave out most of what I bought since almost all of the newer stuff was so overcompressed the tracks just distorted all the way through. The audiophile in me just wouldn't let me do it.

So, I travelled backwards, just like I said in the OP.

Amazing set!. I loved it from start to finish. Great progression throughout the set.

Thanks will take a listen.

Whats up with the all the Prog Breaks on Pg1

REVIVAL?

I think I'm gonna start searching for myself as well, then I will be able to create a proper mix.

I wouldn't say no to that.

I'd say that I fall pretty much right in between these two. It's not like I hadn't heard some of these tracks many times before, but a big number of them were completely new to me. I've never digged deep into the genre, so overexposure is certainly not a factor for me.

It's moments like this that I'm thankful that I didn't overexpose myself to these, because as old and familiar these tracks may be to most of you, they still smell oh so fresh to me.

Sometimes ignorance is bliss

awesome set - love going back in time to the future. Thanks for the prog treats!

I forgot to mention that I listened to this and really enjoyed it. It was pretty funny to me hearing the Hebrew vocals on the third track. I'm going to listen again and provide some more detailed comments since this mix deserves it.

nik breaks mix? yes sir!

I like your tracklist! I remember playing prog breaks back in the day too. All the Hooj stuff was so deadly. I think I need to go digging through some crates and remember. Dling now.

what song starts at 52:15 or so?

luke chable - melburn
found it

Definitely liked what I heard, here. I'm not exactly sure how this set corresponds with a creative identity crisis but I imagine there's some factors in your thinking I couldn't possibly be aware of and it will be interesting to hear your next production when you do sort it out. Personally, I tended to like the songs in the beginning rather than the end, as they seemed to have a somewhat elemental mystique to them where-as the music, towards the end, while no less qualitative, seemed a little more algorithmically clinical which almost dissipated the tension as the set progressed.

Still, I definitely enjoyed it, throughout. Really nice work on this. The mixing, itself, was utterly flawless.

Wasn't that trolling and being a smartass on the TA boards?

My hard drive died, and i downloaded this set and loved it, however i'm looking for a mix of yours it's breaks, but i can't find it. The only track i remember is momu - one. I hope you can help because that is just one of my favorite mixes.
