Ziptnf - Intelligence Quotient [braindance/heavy psystep]

So this is probably the most interesting mix I've ever done. Firstly, I want to make sure everyone understands that the title of the mix or the genre tag "braindance" is implying no sort of pretentious measure of intelligence on the listener, to where only "smart people" can listen to this. However, you must enter this mix with an open mind. I have ventured into some very experimental territory, playing tracks with rich textures, crystal-clear melodies, and neuron-tickling soundscapes that rely heavily on glitching and programming. I had an awesome time making this.

Mordant Music - ModeM [Mordant Music]
Access To Arasaka - Nypox [Spectraliquid]
Sourone - Things Materialize [UP]
Ryanosaurus - Binary System [UP]
Barry Koota - I Came From There [UP]
Whitebear - Earthquake [UP]
Bogmon - Demons May Trail (Databrokers Remix) [Buried In Time]
Shwex & Mumukshu - Elements of Antiquity [Enigmatik]
LuneCell - Supernova [Vermin Street]
Phsiris - Digital Dream (Itsu Remix) [Enigmatik]
Tron Sepia - Flange [Fish 'n Trips]
Zebbler Encanti Experience - Psychic Projections (ft. Dante Bucci) [Gravitas]
Mr. Bill - Balance (Mindbuffer Remix) [Adapted]
Mindbuffer - PanFM (Whitebear Remix) [Enigmatik]
Electrocado vs The Mollusk - Circle Jerk [Adapted]

Giving it a whirl. While it's not always my style, I always manage to enjoy your sets.

Glad you all are checking it out. This stuff is definitely out there. I personally like it better than Heavy Gravity. Enjoy!

I like.

Thanks. Any other comments? I feel like this mix deserves at least some sort of review beyond "I like". I got a comment on Soundcloud yesterday that just said "Good". Anyone feel like reviewing in more detail?

Listened to this last weekend with a bunch of friends on some very potent Lucy and it was phenomenal. So wonderfully complex and chaotic. Loved it!

WOOHOO! A review! Glad you listened to it, especially inebriated. I bet everything was moving very slowly lol

Just when the glitches and heavy sounds started to become maybe a bit much to handle, a nice melody would rise through the chaos for a while, then drop back down into madness again. That's a testament to your mixing, and you deserve major props for that. This mix could have EASILY ended up being way too harsh, but you struck the perfect balance between chaos and structure.

this was really fucking cool, I agree wholeheartedly with the post above. shall go into the list of things to listen to again

Thanks fellas

I'd like to go back to pretending this was my latest mix rather than the abortion that was Radio Memories. Ahh, blissful glitchiness...

Je vais l'�couter.

No hablo francais, mother******

Been enjoying this a lot yes sir. It's endlessly amusing to watch the ever fragmented wobbly rhythms just refuse to take shape. Nice little niche you found here, like dubstep that's not stupid.

Ooh.

Isn't it a weird niche? So much happens here. Some elements of shit that the kids like, and elements of shit that the introspective people like. Thanks for listening, I was hoping I'd get a review from you. When are you gonna release a new mix?

When I finish making one, don't really see that happening before the winter kicks back in though. Right now I've been taking a break, listening to some mixes other folk have posted here and hopefully getting some long overdue comments out.
