I have a new mix done, interested in some feedback

I have a new set up on my psudo website. It's 10 tracks and just a hair under an hour. I'd be grateful for some people to take a listen and tell me what they think.

nice

nice mix, pretty stompin, but a bit "unoriginal" - has a heavy PvD influence (at least 1st half the mix).. but you had Cristalle, which is one of my all time favs, so thanx for the fun hour

Thanks for the input.

I know about the whole PvD in the beginning. It was something I was really trying to avoid, but I'd try other tracks and other mixes but I couldn't find any mixes that really stuck with me and that I liked.

Johnny Bravo: I know exactly what you mean about the "unorginality" thing. It's not easy to find good records out there that doesn't fit in the "everybody's heard it" category. Therefore a lot of mixes get really unoriginal and maybe too commercial and boring. I don't really have the time to listen through a lot of tunes (plus I don't have a local record store where I can go and listen) therefore I often buy what I know is good (based on me downloading the song because of a recommendation, and liking it) or from a certain label or artist that I know is quality. Right now I'm kind of experiencing this with "S.H.O.K.K." tracks & remixes, about 75% of my hardtrance tracks have something to do with S.H.O.K.K. This makes my mixes very predictable and unoriginal.

For me, I think the only way to "cure" this is to devote more time to the music, download more tunes & listen more. Well... maybe I get some more spare time to do this when summer is over.
