set sounded good, only thing id recommend is watchin the Bass eq a little. on the second transisition it drowned out the entire transisition when you intorduced it. also through some of the song you had a little audio clipping.

Good set overall, few slips and a few pheonitic things but i still enjoyed the listen, only things id suggest would be watching your eq a little bit closer and start your mixes a little early, the one into juicy seemed at the tail end of the song.

Other then that keep up the great work

cheers

Your mixing is improving a lot. You know where you made some mistakes and that is okay, you will get it ironed out over time. Overall the track selection was pretty good and like I said, you're really showing signs of improvement. I wouldn't try messing with the faders at the end like you did. I have heard a couple DJs try this and usually they end up slaughtering the track. You did well though. Keep it up!!

Dirk W. .... thanks sooo much, you just made my day. I dont have many dj friends, and not many people to have critic me, so just you noticing my improvement drives me. Thanks for the critic, and I appreciate you taking the time out to download, listen, and give feedback ... thanks so much .

I think one of your best assets that will help you become a great DJ is your willingness to hear feedback and take everything the right way. It really shows a lot of heart and that is going to really benefit you. I really am impressed.

Well thank you very much Dirk. I honestly just have such respect for any dj who puts time and effort ... ( a LOT of time and effort ) into improving at there craft. I just wanna constantly be moving forward and getting better. Just like a simple compliment of saying I was getting better... that makes my month.. it'll drive me to practice harder and get better. SO thanks for taking time out of your day... to make my day ... Look forward to hearing from you more ...

Just had a listening to this and enjoyed it!! Bit different from other stuff i listen to and alot of the tunes i'd already heard you had used a different music!! One or two of the mixes are a bit out, but you already knew that, and you recovered a one of the mixes well!!

Good luck in the future!!
