I haven't done a mix in months. I've tried recording a couple of times since, but everything has sounded so forced and I haven't been happy enough to use anything. It's been frustrating to say the least. I recently returned home from Japan, and while it was an amazing trip on so many levels, I've been completely unmotivated musically since I got back. This is my attempt to get back into the game, and I'm quite satisfied with how it turned out.

I wanted to build on the sound I went for in my last mix� a little more spacey, melodic, funky, and deep. There's definitely nothing groundbreaking here; some of these tracks are newer while others are a little older. I don't think it's as good on the technical side as my last few, but I had a lot of fun doing this one. I would say this is a good representation of how I sound live.

Thanks for listening.

Nice.

And stu that is like, the best sig ever.

Great stuff this!

Listening as i post, really nice so far

thanks for checking it out guys.

Great trackselection alltogether in this one, it has been on repeat constantly at home

glad you enjoyed it.

anyone else have a listen to this?

I'm actually about 3/4 of the way through it now. Really good stuff man I think there are a few bits where the volume was noticeably higher/lower between tracks, but other than that, me likes.

I sense a different direction you're taking from this set and I approve. Not much else to say other than this was really solid and you better play like this tonight. Only poofier.

Hm... I actually didn't notice that when I listened back to it, but I'll check it out again. I wonder what it could be? I'm pretty sure I kept the gains consistent throughout, but sometimes Traktor screws around with it and maybe I didn't notice. Anyways glad you enjoyed, thanks for listening.

Haha, I did play quite a few of these last night. But yeah, I'm starting to get back into more melodic, less dark stuff (especially when I play out). I'm still very much into techno first and foremost, but my style in that regard doesn't really work too well at spots around Atlanta. I think my next mix will be more in the same vein as 'Rogues.'

Maybe I need an alias, lolz.

Ok, so I listened to this yesterday while at the gym, here are my thoughts:

Overall, I REALLY enjoyed this set. And Trace, I mean that in a very sincere way. Aside from a few rough transitions, this set was just so enjoyable to listen to - honestly I was surprised. I mean, I knew that it was gonna be good, because you're a good DJ and I like a lot of the artists that appear in the track list, but I was taken by surprise despite that. It just came off as a completely unpretentious mix, which was a sheer pleasure to listen to. The track selection felt incredibly fresh, and the way the tracks were sequenced within the mix itself was just perfect IMO. I love that Nikola Gala track, and I loved how well you transitioned into and out of it. Seriously, when Nightwaves mixed in to Keep Walking, I was just like "WHAT THE FUCK DUUUUDE!! THIS IS CRAAAAZY!!" and my energy level must have shot up by at least 200% (in fact that got me running so fast, I think the treadmill started to make some strange noises).

Seriously well done though. I didn't think this mix would stand out in such a big way for me, but it did. If all the transitions were executed smoothly and the mix was a little longer (would have been sweet), this would honestly be a contender for on e of the best sets I've heard this year, personally.

haven't had the chance to listen yet, but will.

Wow, thanks a lot Adam. I'm really glad you enjoyed it that much, as I think you and I tend to share a lot of the same tastes. It's also nice to know that someone picked up on the overall aim of doing this one...which was, basically, to put out something refreshing to myself that would help me get back into being excited about playing music. Wasn't really sure how the reception would be, I just played tracks I was really into and a sound that reminded me of somewhere awesome I went.

I realize this isn't anywhere near perfect as far as mixing, and I guess its because I decided to do this one a bit looser without the careful calculation/planning I used in some of my previous mixes. Hopefully, with time, my on the fly-ish stuff will start sounding a little cleaner. That's probably the main thing I'm working on now, especially since I'm starting to get a few gigs here and there.

Anyways, thanks again for the awesome review. Glad you enjoyed man.

Haven't listened yet because generally I think I might be over unce unce.... I'll try and give it a go though.
