Sorry, but I just had to say how much you look like that kid on the Malcolm show on Fox! Omg.

get some fucking specs and dont hijack my threads just to get your post count up

do you have a tracklist ??

also why are you looking downwards diagonly in evey pic

just cuz of the position of the webcam
il post a tracklist tonight

1.Kamaya Painters - Soft Light
2.Nu NRG - Butterfly
3.Kamaya Painters - Cryptomnesia
4.Nu NRG - Supersonik Way
5.Kamaya Painters - Far from over
6.Klea - Tic Toc (magik muzik mix)
7.Latino Deejays - Latino DJ
8.Nu Rican Kidz - Excuse me (131 bpm mix)
9.Solar Stone - Solar Coaster
10.Way out west - mindcircus (gabriel and dresden)
11.Perpetuous Dreamer - Dub.wav

just some constructive criticisms here... and these are just my opinions..

using kamaya painters and nu nrg songs every other track for the 1st part of your mix is kinda weird. There's two very different styles there... kamaya painters is more like moody music whereas nu nrg is like prime time peak music. Their basslines really clash. Altho i did like supersonic to far from over. hehe. the transition from solarcoaster to mindcircus was REALLY weird. everything clashed i think. Maybe try messing with your EQs. i dont think tracks 7 and 8 fit in the mix at all but thats just me. love the backspin from to supersonic. and you just made me remember how good soft light was.. hehe..

good job...

Here comes my thoughts, please take it as constructive criticism, i
think its great that people share mixes with each other.

I kinda agree with wushuboy on this one, the tracklisting doesnt really
"match", if you are gonna make turns in throwing in different genres,
do it progressivly and dont have Kamaya Painters, Nu-NRG and then
another Kamaya Painters, it sounds weird. Its like someone calling
when jacking off, it ruins the pace.

The transition between 1 & 2 could have been more solid and not
so fast.

The fadeover to Far from over was pretty good tho, altho the styles
was pretty different. Alooooot of pitching going on in this mix tho.
I dont know, I might be the only one but I find that pitching too much
in a mix will sound very weird and disrupts the mood. I havent heard
Klea - Tic Toc before but you can really tell how overpitched it is
for you to then pitch it down, try giving pitches more time so you
dont notice them so much. If you want to change your overall BPM of
your set, do it during a couple of tunes, not just one.

The Latino DJ-tune was a bit, i dunno, misplaced. But the transition
between Latino DJ and Excuse me was top noth in my ears, I dont hear
that clashing that wushuboy is talking about, too me it seems like
thats just the hi-hats of the song. Altho the song, i dont know, doesnt
really fit. Too fast of a genre change for me. From Kamya Painter to
NU-NRG to Tic Toc to Latino?

The transition from 9 -> 10 is a little messy, try waiting a little
longer next time before taking in 10 so basslines and similar doesnt
crash into each other.

The transition on 10 -> 11 was also good, altho i felt you could have
cut 10 earlier, at the 49:20 where 11 changes phrase instead of
fading it out.


Sorry if this might sound harsh, this is just my thoughts, keep up
the good work.

thanks for the constructive criticism guys
keep it comin!

I find that if I lower the bass eq for the incoming track and then switch them over (turn down the playing track and turn up the incoming track real fast) at the phrase point I can avoid that boomy bass sound that I can hear in your first transition. It also seems to cover up (a little) any phase issues that you may have in the mix.

I really like the energy in your mix, you seem to change tracks quick and keep things lively. This is very different from my dj'ing style where I prefer more of a "trip" environment rather then a high energy peak time dance environment.

I dont like your phrasing, this causes a lot of that out of tune sound I'm hearing in your transitions, but I can see that you are trying to avoid the boring parts of the songs by getting in and out of them quick. Personally I would rather hear twenty seconds of boring repetition then five seconds of out of phrase mixing, or choose different tracks that match better.

Your beat matching sounds pretty good, the mistakes are pretty minimal.

Only the opinion of someone that has been spining for 2 years.

thanks for the advice
your advice means more then my opinion because ive only been spinning since september
