Was this mixed totally on the fly or was there planning involved?

Was pretty much all on the fly. I had written down a tracklist for part of this previously when I was also messing around and decided some stuff worked together. I used that as a template, but pretty much cobbled it all together as I went.

Hmm, well I guess it depends on what your objectives were for this mix. If you wanted to craft something for home listening, there's nothing wrong with drawing out a plan or even practising the whole thing numerous times. It's very difficult to do spontaneous mixing and still craft a brilliant headphone set, because the idea of spontaneous mixing is you've got a crowd to feed off.

Yup. In the past I've had issues trying to "craft" sets. Whether it's my awful work ethic or lack of attention span, I can't ever seem to actually get a mix completed when I start trying to plan it. I either get bored or disinterested and move on.

I've got a few ideas for sets that I'd like to try and flesh out, so hopefully I can actually follow through on that in the coming weeks.

I don't think it's necessary to carefully craft every part of the mix, because it seems like you're getting there in terms of spontaneous mixing and flow. Come up with a firm mental impression of the structure of the set and a couple of key tracks you want to use in certain places, and then try and improvise off the back of that framework.

A Made Up Sound tracks are a bitch to mix (well, at least that one). And since I'm somewhat of a 2562 fanboy I'll have to ask why you hate the track so much

It's just fucking obnoxious. I'm not sure how the track is supposed to be pleasing. I really can't figure out what it's trying to do.

Haha, yeah, I was about to say something along those lines. Ted Promo did not like it at all either, I believe he said something along the lines of "Wow, track 3 is quite the spook show".

It's like 2562 does fidget house, except with trendy techno synth patches. Woony dutifully falls in love.

Does Adam talk to you the way he writes on here?


I'm torn on the track, personally, if anyone cares. I really like half of it, and then hate half of it as well *shrug*

Well, I apologize for subjecting you to it.

To me it feels like a continuation of the last single on A Made Up Sound (which I think was brilliant) just a tad bit more danceable. I also loved Rear Window when it came out been waiting for more material in that vein ever since.

If it calms you though, I definitely think it's not among his strongest material.

If we are on the topic of annoying tracks, I hate this one. It makes my head hurt. Just because there's a relative track of acid tracks these days doesn't mean people have to jump for the first track with 1992 production standard.

shaaaaaaaaame bump

Yea that track is beyond terrible

I'm going to listen to this while driving to ATLANTA

OH MY GOD WHAT IF ATLANTA IS THE MEGACITY?

Heard this on the way to the MEGACITY right after listening to Bierheld's mix. I didn't hate anything in it. There was indeed lots of BASS GAS (or BAS-GAY?) coupled with very interesting techno tracks. It was perfect for waiting in traffic while entering the city through Cobb Parkway. I'd better see you this week, you rat bastard.

Thanks man! I appreciate you giving it a spin even though I don't really listen to most of your mixes.

I just can't make it through all the psy stuff, dunno what it is. Anyways, I can maybe do this week. We'll see!

Well, I can probably say the same about most of the other deep house/tech house/techno mixes posted here. I don't listen to them because I can't really find anything interesting in there.

Actually, there is a mix I made earlier this year that might be much much closer to your flavor. I did it on MSZ's prog radio show:

I highly recommend checking it out. It's as close to prog house as I can play

Already massively loving the first track... will spread this shit like butter.

hey man, what is the track at 27 minutes?

Arkist + Kidkut - One Year Later

So good... loving that bassline so much!

One last bumpski.
