Jack Moss - Rainy Day Sessions [Various]
This is the first entry in what will hopefully become an ongoing project. Inspired by ASC's excellent Deep Space mixes, the aim of the Rainy Day Sessions is to make the most of those frustrating afternoons trapped inside by British weather. These sets will be fairly short, around 30-50 minutes, with the idea being that they can be made in an afternoon or evening whenever I feel like it, without the weeks of track-hunting that go into a typical 80 minute mix, which also gives me a platform to play a wide variety of sounds.
I'll keep all the mixes to this thread. Click on the images to download. Many thanks, as always, to Stu for the hosting.
Been digging this all day, I like the Invisible Woman track especially. Great mixing all throughout, would have been nice to have a few days ago to listen to during Hurricane Irene though!
sure
looks gay...I'm on it.
This was great Jack! Allready looking forward to the next one.
Great mix. I found myself apathetic towards the early ambient stuff, but the lush, dreamy DnB really hit the spot.
interesting. im actually compiling for a rain inspired mix after all the hurricane nonsense this past weekend.
oh you knowwwww~

| Originally posted by SYSTEM-J I'd be potentially interested in guest submissions to the project, if you feel your mix would fit the bill. I mainly want to dedicate this to deeper mood music: ambient, IDM, dub techno, atmospheric D&B/dubstep etc. Not so much song-y songs or outright dancefloor material. Hopefully as I add more to this thread, a signature sound of sorts will coalesce. The same goes for anyone else. If you ever want a platform to play moody stuff that you can't fit into a dancefloor set, PM me. Note that I do not mean bullshit "chill out" mixes with Tears In The Rain in them. |
That sounds perfect. I'd have no problem in turning this into a collaborative project, maybe even putting together a dedicated blog/website to archive the mixes if it gathers steam. I have no grand plans for this, but it would be nice if it turned into a thing people tuned into to hear a wide variety of interesting music played by DJs who aren't bound by the usual limitations of the trade.
among those others should include some Vladislav delay
I would be really into that idea, and it may just motivate me to actually get something recorded.
I've been messing with a mix for a bit now that seems to fit that mold.
Gonna give this a go, will be great for the rain/tstorm we're expected to get soon over here. Cheers mate, will let you know how it goes when I have the time, cheers!
this was well made. first beaty track came in a little a abruptly tho.

| Originally posted by SYSTEM-J I get your point, but the only way to have countered that would have been to extend the intro to the Blue Motion track, which would have been a lot of work to correct what I feel is a very minor flow issue. |

| Originally posted by pozz yea, but when it dropped the introductory section was perfect. really built up the energy. no other criticisms. selection was especially well done considering the sound. |
the sound you tend to work with is very full, and it is so because of the production techniques used in the studio. those techniques also tend towards certain kinds of melodies and harmonic moves that the sound suggests (what direction to flow into, how the flow should develop). so your mix is ideal because it carries out that "manifest destiny" within the sound (itself cross-genre). it's something i try to do all the time with weirder/darker tracks -- when you bring that sound out, then, no matter the genre, the vibe is always uplifting, invigorating.
those cross-genre mixes on posted on TA are almost always the most interesting. the caveat is that this type of thing is much harder to do when you are sticking to something specific within a genre.

Nice mix, I look forward to the next ones. Kind of a bummer that they are so short, I wouldn't have minded if this first one carried on for another 20 minutes or so
Cheers. Some will be longer, this is about as short as they will get.
Very nice, fit the mood you were shooting for well, nicely mixed, and a great selection of stuff I've been digging into myself lately.
Looking forward to future installments.
Good concept.
Shortly to be coming through my ears.
a bump with strings attached. make a new mix dammit!
