I'm not quite sure how one can criticize another person's subjective tastes on what they do and don't find appealing in a particular medium of art and subsequently attempt to articulate why what they listen to is 'right'.

i listened to this yesterday at work and again today (because i ran out of new stuff on my mp3 player and your set was the best one in the player)
anyway, i really liked it. mixing was brilliant and smooth as fuck.
the tunes weren't really something i'd see myself buying, but i really enjoyed them nonetheless and i felt that the mixing made this mix more than a sum of its parts.
dunno if i felt anything tantric though, just good music.

thanks, i'm flattered that you said that about more than a sum of its parts, because my belief is that unless you can put yourself into a collection of other people's music, you're not deejaying.

I agree that it's not as tantric as I originally had wanted it to be when I decided I was going to call the next mix "tantra". Like I mentioned in the original post, I kept hearing new stuff while I was compiling tracks and the sound changed a lot.

The tantric idea was to draw out the tracks as much as possible into a long stream of rising energy which culminates at last with a track like Diabla. When people ask me about deejaying I usually explain it as a sort of tantric exercise where you are constantly playing a game of teasing people with sounds and rhythms, holding back from playing the biggest tracks until the crowd absolutely can't take it anymore. I generally find that to be more rewarding for instance than getting a cheap rise out of people for playing big tracks early and having a couple guys pat you on the back.

so i tried to do that basically in this mix, whether or not it was how you heard it is another matter

Sir you are fancy at mixing!

I kept more interested in listening to your mixing/transitions than the songs themselves.

I love your harmonic way of transitions songs, and the mix is definitely Journeyful.

Congratulations =)

thanks

It's true I love mixing and this mix and the one i posted more recently have two tracks playing together nearly all of the time.

But that is the problem with trance. It has been the same noises with the same pattern for 15 years now.

BORING !!
