So uh, I think I did it right. In comparison to the three tracks that were posted as examples of this genre it looks like I took a more mainstream approach.
I was really digging this genre, a lot. What was pretty cool about it is that it's a pretty versatile bag. From my understanding the whole UK Funky thing is really housey stuff with percussion reminiscent of a style like reggaeton. I tried not to stray too far from that but I can definitely see all sorts of other styles mixed up with this.
Cosmic Beat - Funk The Pain Away by Cosmic Beat
1. Robin S - Show Me Love (Geeneus Remix)
2. Estelle - Comve Over (Crazy Cousinz Remix)

rodri i saw your tracklist yesterday and the obvious standout was of course "dvt2001". i wanted to see how you would work it. it was mainly for that reason i downloaded your mix, i didn't want to actually hear a mix of some of the most obnoxious brostep out there. but i try to listen to everyones mix as it's only fair.
yeah, the mixing was decent up till the showdown remix and then it was all disjointed. dvt2001 was quite a nice addition but you needed to worked it better, maybe make an edit before. but yeah there was two songs that made me want to stab myself in the ears repetedly. for the love of jebus, don't ever use them again if you plan to play more dubstep.
lews, good stuff. proper nice '99 era epic trance anthem bashine with a nice programming and decent mixing.
game + watch, not bad. flow was patchy but the mixing was decent for most part. tunes, there was a couple of ones to the end half that was i couldn't remember to save my life. also, the signs of audio degradation due to ableton/pitch lock or what it's called was in the mix and that was a wee annoying. other than that, a good effort.
floyd. yeah, it quite nice but way to short, 'cure and the cause' was a highlight and a good compliment to the mix since it's shuffled percs worked with the proper type uk funky
downloaded both, will listen to them a bit later.
Rodri:
The mix starts very abrupt. Intro could've been softer.
As you said, it's basically a mix of the commercial stuff and some slightly less commercial stuff.
Just noticed the transition at 14:10 felt harmonically displeasing.
Or at least very short; I felt the same shortness in the other transitions as well, but they were not as harmonically displeasing.
Later on we find the horrible transition of 37:22 and 39:25. I see no reason for why you would include Dance Valley in the mix. Just completely out of place.
I liked the Bassnectar tracks, but not so much the others. Wobbledose =\
Converting Vegetarians has absolutely no value in this mix.
http://echodub.co.uk/ <-- listen to the (free) compilations/albums available at the bottom. That's the kind of dubstep I prefer. Wobblebass is OK once in a while, and as stated I liked the Bassnectar tracks. But there was too much wobble in this mix for me to keep it in the playlist.
the point of using dvt2001 in a dubstep mix which focuses on wobble is utilizing the fact the breakdown of the track uses a similar type of warped bass.

| Originally posted by ziptnf Wicked. I only wish it was a bit longer. Mine cuts off at 65:51, how long is it supposed to be? I dug the flow, the percussion, the mixing, the tunes. Everything rocked. Nice job. |
I've got a few of these I want to work through, but montana I listened to yours first. First off, I'll say that I'm really glad you got this genre. The mix could easily have ended up being an hour of Sander van Doorn et al. crap in the hands of the wrong person.
As Sand Leaper said; really excellent, very subtle. The intensity barely seemed to lift throughout, but then if you skip back and forth between the beginning and end, the difference is apparent. Some of the basslines were gorgeous, too. My favourite aspect was the melodic track you used at around 53 minutes. It wasn't particularly huge or uplifting, but you really increased its impact with so many melodically stark tracks beforehand. The last track was nice, too. It reminded me strangely of Many Reasons, by Joris Voorn. Mixing was tight. Great work.
track at 53 is marzz - velvet star, a track i bought for this mix, great tune.
about the subtleness of the build, that was something i thought wouldn't come across as all of the tunes are fairly energetic but they all have their place. i had a m.o. of going on strong, taking it down and then building up again, and you have to be a good programmer to pull it off as if you fuck up and do bad type of mixing it just comes across as mindless bosh.
and ye, i thought i let lews get the proper type techtrance mix as i said, it's some of the first phase, some of the oliver lieb phase and the marco v phase.
thanks again for the kind words

never heard it but liking what i'm hearing,
Thanks a lot for the comments on my mix, folks! Glad you all seemed to like it, and I highly appreciate the constructive criticism. I really learned a lot making the psytrance mix, all those songs I put on I discovered due to this, in fact the Jaia and Son Kite ones I loved. The beat-skipping and shitty sound quality was due to me having some issues with Virtual DJ and my mixer. Luckily, I got them fixed for next time (upgrading my VDJ version seemed to do the trick).
I've been going through the mixes one by one, so far I have gotten most of the way through Lews, and finished up Montana's, Teez's Sand Leaper's and Ziptnf's. But will eventually get around to every one posted.
Teez - I already told you on FB what I thought of course, it was a great mix with fuck-awesome beatmatching. Lots of classics in here, I probably would have done something similar had I got this genre.
Sand Leaper - I've only taken one listen so far, when you first posted it, so it's not fresh on my mind. What I remember was some very nice melodies and soundscapes but there were times when I felt one or two of the songs dragged a bit.
Ziptnf - I'm not a fan of hardstyle at all but I found myself bobbing my head to at least a few of the tracks. Like I said I'm not too familiar with the genre, so I don't know about whether or not you succeeded in terms of flow, but mixing was good.
Lews - Listened to it while at the gym Monday night, and it brought back a lot of memories of when I first got into trance around 98 or so... highly reminiscent of the Magik series with a couple of serious choons. I've always thought No Hesitation was more of a late-set track, so it was a bit out of place in your mix. But yeah, Tiesto-Sparkles (Transa mix)!!!!
Montana - Not being too familiar with the genre, I'll admit when I think of tech trance, I think of the Sander Van Doorn/Leon Bolier type stuff, so this wasn't what I expected at all... in fact, most of the first half of the mix seemed to be what I'd call straight-up mid 90's techno. But then the trancier elements slowly creep in to the mix as you get further along. It's got an interesting progression and the mixing was tight. Also the song at 28 min is holy shit wow!
On deck: Ian, Rodri Santos, Floyd. Very much looking forward to the disco, 2step and Detroit mixes... hope the people pull through!!! :P
