comments really welcome

I'm thirsty. Hmmmm... nothing goes down quite like a big glass of Ian's liquid shit on a Sunday morning.

Downloading. Some dandys in there.

Enjoyed your last little DnB excursion, will check this one out.

thank you guys Hope you enjoy it

I will check this out despite that I am not quite a drum n bass fan. The only names I liked through the years were TeeBee and some Future Prophecies. So it's not surprising that I know none of the names here.

I will post a review when I give it a proper listen!

Cheers!

Listening:

No intro, straight to bussiness . Nice funky stuff so far!

Loving the track at 25 min mark. What it is?

The transition to the next track is lovely as well as the track itself. Very nice!

At 31 mark the track isn't really my cup of tea but it's nothing disturbing.

The track that kicks in at 41 min is also very very good.

I like the happy feel of the track at 51 min mark. Makes me smile. Actually what I am talking about... So far the whole mix makes me smile.

In conclusion I must say that I am quite impressed. Thanks for this awesome mix!

track at 25 mins is the remix of grace. At 41mins, is daylight creeps in, another of my current favourites in this genre.

51 minutes sees Laos - Wish Upon. I love the bassline in it personally, it's quite pounding yet tuneful. I agree on the smiling vibe though, I think with summer approaching here, i'm listening to more & more of this stuff, it's feel good, and usually quite simple. The formula may get repetitive at times but i've not hit that mark yet personally & am looking forward to more great releases i know are coming out next month Thanks for the review. Will get around to yours asap, got 1 hour into the mix & had to break just cos it's distracting my mind too much that's a good thing, except when trying to learn something

Much improved from your last mix-from the technical to the TL to the tone. I agree, a definate shimmery summer mix and the melodies all worked with each other, rather than against. Everyone can use some light, airy DnB. Even if they don't like DnB, the tunes you've chosen (as was as in your last mix) are perfect segways to cross into the daaaaaaark siiiiiiiiiiidee muuuuuuaahhaha MUUUUUAHAHAHHAA.

Ok really, my only concern is there is no build, no progression. From track one-Matrix & Futurebound to the finale-it just made it all seem flat. And because of this, nothing really stuck out. Maybe you could incorporate other genres or subgenres, rather than just liquid to make everything less one-dimensional. Play around, relax.

Thanks for sharing.

thanks for the detailed review. I totally understand your points, truth is, I don't know how to structure a set of this style. I have a few jump up or classic jungle tracks I could throw in, but I really don't know how to place them in a full set. It's more a case of i'm mixing tracks I like lots, than them being in a good order, sometimes I'll think the transitions have a purpose for progression but a lot of the time it is a case of just going from one to another. It's weird because in the jungle sets i grew up on in the early 90s, everything is so start/stop because of it being live, you can have a tune pulled back two, maybe three times and i think because of that, i've never learned a good progression in any of the genre thanks for listening again though, it's nice to know some people on here have a taste that I can almost cater to

im on to you like the fuckin' border patrol.

i'm gonna dl this.

I do not typically listen to DNB but I listened to this and was pleasantly surprised. It was very enjoyable, all of the transitions were very nice. I do agree with the earlier points that there was not a lot of structure to the mix but I still found it enjoyable. And I thought the intro track was good, it set the tone for the type of dnb that would be played throughout the mix.

I have been a big Not Over Yet fanboy ever since I was introduced to this song in Oakie's essential mix world tour so I really enjoyed hearing a dnb take on this track. It was good but I still think the Matt Darey remix is my favorite.

Ian, hey sa, the tracklist has some weird characters. What keyboard are you using?

Or maybe it is me? I don't know how these things work...

it's me. i'll fix it soon. i dunno what happened, i typed it up in openoffice & c&p'd into here and it came up.

Very, very nice.

This has stolen the spot of my second favourite dnb mix (first would be sonix-it's jungle out there and its replacing sconeboy-bassdrive mix). While it doesn't have incredible transitions (still very good) it is incredibly solid along with plenty of fun and interesting parts. I was thinking a little towards the start... mmm I really like those transitions where its slightly off... not enough to be able to hear tiss tiss or klunk klunk but just enough to have phasing. I find it works really nice with the light breakbeats of liquid funk and you delivered later on (whether accidentally or not). I mean when you look at your own mixes its hard to do it subjectively... so instead of thinking omg those transitions are slightly mathematically off, I (and probably other people) like them in liquid.

Anyway yeh as I said: Very solid and some really fun bits... great tracks in general. A very good and at the same time fun mix. I think I'm going to be dling your other mixes.

any chance of an flac of this?

cheers.....

Um. I've got the .wav I'll see if i can make a flac up, i think I have a program that will do it

Wav file is fine but its a shorter upload for you if its flac.

Any updates on the higher quality flac/wav?

your link doesnt work

How about : Trader's Little Helper

Or even a 320k mp3 would be nice.

cheers, it's worked for me

[[ LINK REMOVED ]]


hope that's ok for you all

Thanks, that link works great. This mix has really peaked my interest in DnB, especially since all of the songs are new to me. I am loving Chase & Status - Take Me Away even though the vocals are a bit strange, the bassline is so good though.

2 seconds in:
oh my god! The extra audio clarity, the sharp and exact kicks, the amazing warm pads.

Thank you very much for this wonderful mix and especially thank you for the lossless(flac) upload.

thanks to both of you

The vocals are from an old 1990s rave tune, cappella ft loletta holloway- take me away and so have good memories for me. By sampling the vocals over a new tune rather than trying to remix the tune itself, i think it works well, and that's the same with the first track, as Robert Owens who sang originally for Satoshi & Frankie Knuckles did so again for this one.

And the good thing with drum & bass right now, there's so much that is also new to me, and I'm loving so much of it, just has a nice vibe to it, and there's always about 5 tracks I can't wait to buy, which is how trance was 5+ years ago, has been a while since I found a genre like that Will try to put a new one together once a couple of the tunes I want come out to give some freshness
