dosen't look cheezy to me at all, downloading...

Don't know a lot of the tracks, and I probably owe you for downloading some of my sets, so I'm downloading this... I'll post feedback in a day or two...

Opening tune was decent...
ATRC (AvB Remix).... I don't like the tune.... the damn vocals are just overplayed.
Air Traffic = w00t... I love it Kinda odd to hear the tune played so fast, but it stills sounds very good. Nice transition into Proximity too
Proximity is a pretty decent track. I'm digging the long breakdown. Another solid transition
I don't really dig vocals, so Damaged isn't my favorite. Respect to those breakbeats during the breakdown though.
Protonic is a little old, but it's an awesome track, nice
Pretty good transition into Symbols, I thought it might have been a little shakier than the previous ones, but that is likely because I was paying closer attention than before.

I'll listen to the second half of the set and post my thoughts tomorrow.

hey mate, i'm in the middle of listening to this set...i must say, pretty nice stuff generally...your mixing is kinda sloppy in places but your track selections are terrific and i think your mixing is quite energetic! i guess your technical aspects of mixing could do with a little more practicing but very good work here! keep it up

i've been wondering what that third track was, i just adore it...

edit- your 'bonus track' turned my stomach j/k mate

Posted by DJ Dingel on Dec-12-2003 23:37:

whhoooooo Symbols is a whoop ass trancer!!
The girl is still singing on the instrumental.. I think I'd prefer it without the voice...
I can hear the transition being a bit off going into the next track (Eternal), but you covered it okay... and my oh my, what a great track The Eternal is....
I think you started the transition into Born Slippy a little too early..... It's phrase-matched alright, but the tracks have such different sounds that I'd tried to decrease the overlap....
I don't really like this version of Born Slippy.... I probably prefer Paul van Dyk's interpretation, but in reality I just don't think it's such a great track..... but the dirty breakbeats here are kinda cool....
I think you just rapidly transitioned into Overflow, but I can't be sure because I don't know either track. So I'm not sure where your transition started exactly, which is a good sign. That mix went well, and was creative.
I'm digging Overflow's melody, even if it's a little generic.
Nice transition into Rockin', I didn't see it coming. (Maybe cuz I was reading a PvD interview kind of intently, but meh) Solid tune

I don't listen to enough pop to be able to name your closing track.... I assume it's a remix, because I don't think this is what the original sounded like....... Well, I'm glad you're willing to make fun of the "OMFG" crowd, but at the same time, I can't pretend that I'm enjoying your closer..... :-P Oh well, amateurs get to joke around, so might as well.

On the whole, there were no major technical errors, and my problems were probably more with your track selection than your mixing.

I'd drop ATRC, Damaged, & Born Slippy (& the last track) ..... My favorites were Air Traffic, Symbols & The Eternal.....
