progdie (obviously)

Some dicking around this morning, all vinyl. Spotty mixing in parts, tracklist if I can get one together. This will probably only be up for a few days or so.

tracklist looks like this I think:

ariane - eternity
jamez presents tatoine - music
mad dogs - better make room (james holden)
cass - revelation
mara - desanitize (fakkindaddydub)
sphere - gravity
red shift - descender (the tea freaks remix)
adamski - in the city (slacker's citycentresonicventure mix)
the orb - once more (bedrock)
ashtrax - digital reason (ogenki clinic remix)
bedrock - set in stone
16B - escape (driving to heaven) (original instrumental)

Basically, was only playing around with a pool of records I picked up in Richmond last month.

This did pretty much what it said on the tin. Very TWILO, lots of stab-bang prog, but not too many obvious tracks. Mixing was smooth in places, rough in others (I don't think you need a write up of what went wrong during The Orb -> Ashtrax), programming was quite pacey for a prog set. But why, oh why, did you think it was acceptable to mix out of Set In Stone there?

Posted by enydo on Apr-30-2013 19:05:

Hahaha, what on that break down? Mainly because I forgot it was coming and I was already mixing in the Omid track, so I SLAMMED THAT SHIT UP.

Thanks man, I know these sets are not your favorites, and not all that fresh. I'm mainly just grinding some technical practice hours out while I try and get something together to hand off to some promoters in Atlanta (hopefully).

I should have something else in the coming weeks. Also, your set is still on my docket.

Posted by SYSTEM-J on Apr-30-2013 19:17:

Well the programming was good. The last mix you did was pretty wonky in that respect, so that's an improvement. Knowing where and when to mix is a lot more important than necessarily keeping it tight. Apart from the big obvious fuck-ups, most of the mixing here would go down without anyone batting an eyelid on a dancefloor.

Posted by enydo on Apr-30-2013 19:21:

Yeah, a big problem for me has always been "knowing my tracks".

This. It was on Oakenfold's level

Good TWILO shit. Some of my favorite lesser known tunes from that era, though I've always preferred the vocal Omid to the instrumental. As Jack said, programming was good, mixing was fine.

Cheers for uploading this

Ow.

Posted by SYSTEM-J on Apr-30-2013 20:17:

Nah, it would take some feat to match the transition into Set In Stone on GU:04 for awe-inspiring shittiness.

Posted by Lews on Apr-30-2013 20:38:

True, true; my comment was un-called for

I was just disappointed, because Austin cut out right at my favorite part

Posted by enydo on Apr-30-2013 20:39:

I get very impatient while mixing tbh. That's actually probably a large reason for most of my sloppy fuck-ups: ants in my pants.

Posted by Lews on Apr-30-2013 20:43:

Afraid of the vinyl?

I did notice that you seemed quicker about things than you've been with abelton/traktor/whatever in the past. Was good, though. Worked.

Posted by enydo on Apr-30-2013 20:46:

More that I don't tend to pay enough attention to what's actually going on in tracks, and when I'm queueing I'm inclined to just GO GO GO BLEND instead of holding back and letting the outgoing tune get to a good point.

Firstly I'm jealous of your vinyl haul. Secondly I'd agree with many of the comments above. Enjoyed it overall but mainly due to the track choices, the mixing does let it down in places. This type of prog is made for long, drawn out transitions and it feels like you were rushing in places, normally I'd expect to see 8-9 tracks of this style in a 1 hour mix. I'd focus on finding a few tracks with long intros/outros, that don't have much melody going on and use them to practice on transitioning. The recording quality was good, especially on the low frequency end which is what this music requires.
