Grabbin this dude, looks good
Anybody else had a chance to listen?
Good flow!! Luffed it
The first 20 minutes are INCREDIBLE. Starts off with some very emotionally dark elements, love it. Come the 20 minute mark, I feel like I am someone who has just experienced a small victory, but know that the worst is still to come. (That is how the music is making me feel...). The slight bit of hope seems to be coming through, this should be an interesting mix.
So far the beatmatching is impeccable, EQing is right on the mark and the levels sounds great from track. I am really loving these incredibly tight mix, you aren't giving me any time to rest between songs, love it!
I love this KvA track, great choice. Love the selections prior to this track, songs I had not heard before, you've obviously done your homework and studied the tracks.
Once again, next mix is stellar, the track seems to come in a tad late, but it certainly doesn't take away from anything, making me guess, and anticipating the next track.
At about 28:30, are those effects you've put in? I don't remember that effect in the original GnD Mix of Wings. If they are yours, really nice touch. Ah, here comes the guitar, not a big fan of this little segment of the set, don't know why, I feel it's changed the pace a little too much. The emotions shifted drastically, but I will have to wait and see if this lends to the rest of the set.
This mix also seemed a tad late to be brought in, but the mixing is so tight it pretty much doesn't matter.
Love this Orkidea track, I definitely haven't listened to it enough. What movie is that sample from?
The mix out of BEAUTIFUL seems to get a little quiet then BAM, the incoming track goes full volume, a little rough on that mix due to the change in gain. This new track sure has a banging beat to it. The songs 'sound' like they belong together, except for the fact that this new one seems to have a much harder edge, the previous song mentions angels....
Following mix is once again great, great levels and the beatmatching is TIGHT!
Wow, this track is incredible, I believe it is the Airaforce track. Great choice.
Incoming mix seems a little sloppy, I think it is simply due to the nature of the incoming track though. The Sean Tyas track is definitely more edgey and has more of defined bass line than the Airaforce track.
Mix out of Pacifier is very smooth, I like how the outgoing track seems to die for like half a second, then the incoming track comes in right away, like a quick punch in the face.
Here we go, back to some melodic trance with a killer riff. Seems the melodic feel was sort of lost mid way through the set. No issues there though, loving the change of mood at this point.
Next mix is incredibly smooth, fantastic use of the EQs/Gain levels, I would class this as your best transition yet. It is perfectly beatmatched, and carries the energy you built up in the previous track exceptionally well.
Overall
Absolutely fantastic mix, the beatmatching throughout is remarkable! Was this mixed in software, the mixing just seems too good at times. If not, kudos to you my friend, you sure know how to use the TTs/CDJs.
The first part of the set is my favorite, very broody and emotional type tracks, then the WINGS track definitely brought in some happier emotions, but still left me slightly sad.
The middle section in my opinion is the weakest, as the songs within it don't seem to flow perfectly together. You seem to have slightly varying styles with basslines that are too distinct. The progression throughout is still very good, but in my opinion, it doesn't flow as well as the first 25 minutes did.
The middle section successfully makes the listener feel as though they are fighting some sort of a battle. The last 3 tracks to me are very 'victorious' like.
Track selection was great, mixing a perfect 10. One mix stood out, with the gains dropping and peaking again, but it was such a minor issue.
Score: 9.5/10
This is definitely the best amateur set I have heard in a long time, keep the great work up!
WOW what a review and a half! thanks alot, made my day!
The sample in Beautiful is from a Star Wars film, must be episode 1, really love that track.
I use Traktor DJ to mix on my laptop, with a echo indigo DJ soundcard, its all live and I could play out with it all, but I havent done yet.. just enjoy making mixes for people really
Really glad you enjoyed it and thanks alot for taking the time to break it down for me, brilliant review!
Not a problem. I am glad you enjoyed the review, I enjoyed the set! I like taking the time to truly listen to a set, I find it really helps the DJ more that way.
Yep definately does, you leaed by good example. I think Ill review a Dj mix in a similiar way

This mix is ok. I didn�t get the same vibe as I did with your other mix. In addition, there are only a few key tracks that stand out as oppose to your prior mix where most of the songs were good. Although, you have corrected that sound problem that was present in your previous mix which is a plus. Other than that, there�s not much else I can say except that you rushed this one and put less thought into it. It�s still a solid set so I gave you a well deserved eight. That�s just my 2 cents. Look forward to future sets of yours Ryan.
I thoroughly enjoyed this mix tonight! �Wings� really got us�.. we�ve never heard the mix before�.. but love the original, and this was a treat! The next track reminds me of Ibiza�s Children�..
Just re-started the mix, and....
It's better the next time 'round...
Keep up the great work!

Wow. Totally amazing selection of music. Can't fault the mixing at all, but it maybe a tad loud - sounds like it's clipping areas, which can be distracting.
Stevie, Tear in the Rain, Aquila, thanks so much for having a listen and your comments, much appreciated.
I did notice a slight clipping aswell after Id uploaded, I do play quite loud sometimes and boost the gain a little too much, will get that sorted for next time.
As for it being slightly rushed, Im not sure about that even though I posted it quite soon after the last one. I just tried to start a little different rather than full on all 80mins or so 
Thsnks again, really makes me happy knowing people have enjoyed it.
Ryan
Thanks to all listeners & downloaders so far, and thanks for the comments on the host site, much appreciated.
You have talent my friend, keep it up! Great track selection too...I'll definitly be picking up a few of these tunes for my own collection. Like others said, your gains may be a little high..but other than that: 
i don't even listen to trance anymore, and i really enjoyed this mix... 
the mixing sounded really good... but moreso i really enjoyed the track selection and programming. the mix is uplifting and epic without sounding cheesy, and it's very well programmed, which i think is harder to do with trance sets. at least from my point of view, it seems like well-programmed trance sets are kind of rare... but maybe it's because i don't listen to trance anymore.
the only tunes i recognized were the G&D remix and the Galen Behr song (which i admit i love, haha)... other than that, it was all stuff i've never heard and it was a nice change from all the house music i listen to... kinda reminds me of how i used to get so excited about trance, heh.
good job.
edit // i guess the biggest reason i enjoy it is because it reminds me of ASOT when ASOT used to be good.
Wow thanks for the comments, glad you both enjoyed the listen
super smashin great

This mix has really found a place with me (again). I had the opportunity to listen to it during a long highway drive through the desert at night... excellent mix!!!
Keep up the great work. It seems like you spent a lot of time on this, and put in a lot of passion - whatever the case, this mix is one of those mixes that reminds me how much I love this type of music. There's a "they don't make them like this anymore" feel that I get from this mix... and it's great!
-R&D
WOW! That's all I've got to say. This set is incredible. The track selection is brilliant and the mixing is impecible. You sir are very talented. Like others have stated before, only minor clipping at some points but nothing horrible.
One question that I don't think you answered earlier, how did you mix this set? Vinyl/CD or Software? Thanks for the listen.
EDIT: BTW, Zone Two is one awesome track.
