On a side note, I hope that everyone has had a chance to give my mix a listen. I'm a bit curious as to what everyone thought of it if they dared enough to give it a listen. I have a few criticisms myself but I'll reserve them for after

Chris, Jack - thanks for taking the time out to both really listen to the mix and give such detailed feedback!

I deliberatly didnt write down the things I wasnt happy about in terms of the track selection in the description as I didnt want to colour peoples judgement. But whats interesting is that you both picked up on the things I wasnt happy with (i.e. the electro bits at the start of part II and the ending).

I think the two really offewnding tracks in the early electro section are the General MIDI and Kiwa ones and I think as soon as I played the Kiwa track I thought it was probably a bit much but, well it was too late by then haha!

And as for the ending, I did consider finishing on the Muse track but only breifly. I wanted to amke it to 6 hours plus, although I hadn't planned an ending particularly I knew I wanted to end on that Fatboy Slim tune. Its a tune I've used before at parties at 6am when the sun is up and I felt very strongly that it should be the last track! I think in the end though I should have plannedthe last 20 mins or so better, I was tired and really running on empty and I think you can hear that in the tune selection. I basically decided to call it a day before something went completely tits up and I ruined the lot

Thank you so much, Jack and Chris, for taking the time to listen to my mix! I wanted to do a bit of the slow-mo, nu-disco stuff at the warmup but was finding it a tad difficult to build into the more progressive/tech house peak time.

Chris, I did listen to your mix (all the parts, twice!) and really dug it... I think my only complaint, if you'd call it that, is I'd flip the names of the Peak and Expanse sets... since the Expanse set felt extremely Peak Time to me, especially with tracks like I Dream, Cowgirl, and Xpander.

All good man haha. Honestly I agree with you... I was torn between the naming convention... I wanted to sorta do it like climbing a mountain, and I envisioned it as sort of after getting to the peak there was this giant pasture/valley that was expansive. But honestly you are 100% right as those two parts definitely had different energy levels lol.
