definitely better flow n track selection n mixing. but --- the one major issue with the set is that you tended to wait waaay too long to transition. "the bassline drop" is also one of your main techniques for establishing the coming track. try that j00f technique where he mixes in the next track at a low, yet noticeable, volume, keeping the bassline coming in as a kind of harmonic presence rather than totally cut out. we don't want to forget the previous track when the new one comes in: the previous one should be a bridge, a bit of filler, for the next one, and this principle is true even for the really epic, banging, uplifting tracks as well as the less noticeable ones. anyone who tries to spin a set without a sense of history (i mean, keeping the previous however many tracks in mind) is gonna spin a boring-ass set jammed with great melodies. you get tired, ya know what i mean?

this advice is kind of hard to follow through with, though. it requires a change in the way you pick tracks; rather than strictly focusing on the general vibe to establish flow, you might pay attention to particular elements in adjacent tracks that set each other off -- whether complementary or contrasting. remember that old j00f set SPANIARD keeps mentioning where j00f alternated between a darker bassline and a more uplifting one throughout the set? yea, like that.

still man, a definite progression is noted despite all my bitching. by the time i got to Incolumis i really felt i was moved somewhere (even if the 30min prior to that point were a bit up and down).

Excellent advise man. I do tend to take my time with the transition with the tracks (bad habit perhaps) but I know exactly what you are saying and will be focusing more on that on my next mixes.

I think I know what you are saying but I will listen to that J00F mix to get a better idea.

Thanks very very much for taking your time and listening to the mix Pozz. I'm glad that you liked this mix and seeing reviews like this only gives me more hope and motivation to continue on.

See you soon man.
