I was messing around with some new tracks last night, and since I don't have anything to show for the last few months I ended up recording it for myself. I wasn't really planning on posting this, but I figured it turned out decent enough to share.
This isn't really my favorite style, but I figured I would have a go at it and maybe use this for club promos. I realize theres a lot of current/familiar tunes in here, and some of it may be a bit played out. This was unplanned and on the fly, so take it for what it is... hopefully some of you may enjoy.
Tracklist:
1. No Regular Play - Derecha [Wolf + Lamb]
2. Seuil - Lost in the Soul Shower [Freak n Chic]
3. Dilo - Ice [Einmaleins Musik]
4. Black Door Beauty (Dyed Soundorom's Afraid of the Ghost Dub Mix) [Spectral Sound]
5. Audion - Instant In You [Spectral]
6. Audiofly X - No Name No Face [Circle Music]
7. Miro Pajic - Bizzare Desire [Tic Tac Toe Records]
8. Monika Kruse - Hope (Heartthrob Remix) [Terminal M]
9. Run Stop Restore vs Click Box - Helen in the Keller [Minus]
10. Hot Natured - Red Light District [Culprit]
11. Catz'n Dogz, Pol_On - This Is What I'm Doing [mothership]
12. Precious System - The Voice From Planet Love (Dixon's Chic-A-Go Edit) [Running Back]
13. Yakine - Funkdashit (Okain Remix) [Jetaime Records]
14. Levon Vincent - Late Night Jam [Ostgut Ton]

Levels is...decent...damn better than a lot of the shite dominating the charts at the moment. It sounds absolutely nothing like...a billion and one similar tracks in this big-room style. I always had a soft spot.

The only thing I really had trouble with was mixing out of the first track, but I eventually got it down. The main riff of Helen in the Keller comes in really early, so that was a little tough as well.

I have been following Tiesto since 99. I was immediately enthralled by what I still regard the best electronic CD ever compiled, Magik VI Live in Amsterdam. This CD is loaded with uplifting, energetic, blood moving tracks intricately mixed with angelic perfection. From that moment on, I could feel the magik flowing through my veins while listening to the music that Tijs carefully samples and produces. His creativity allows him to develop the concepts of songs that bring life and energy to people around the world.

Mmmmm, dark and groovy, as usual (which is a good thing). This is probably my favorite set from you so far, a lot of standout tracks for me and only a few that fell flat. The section right before Helen In The Keller and through to the end rocked, loved that the most.
There was a semi wonky bassline switch near the beginning, and a couple tiny beatmatching errors, but otherwise really technically solid. I would say this works pretty damn well as a promo, nice work.

HELEN'S IN THE KELLERRRRRRRR
OK, so I listened last night. Pretty solid set, lots of good new tracks and decent mixing. The flow worked pretty well too.
I spotted that bassline switch Austin mentioned in the first transition, that tends to happen to me too when I'm mixing new tracks for the first time.
There was another semi fuck-up on the transition into "The Voice From Planet Love", might have been a Traktor fart, I don't know. But you may want to edit that transition if you're planning on using it as a promo.
Other than that it was a really nice set man, highly enjoyable.
Thanks for the feedback guys. The error towards the end was indeed a Traktor fuck up, but since I orginally recorded this for my own listening I was too lazy to go back and do it all over. Really had no idea how this would go over, but now I guess its worth taking the time to re-record and use.
The other mix I've been working on for the past month is taking some time as it is a rather difficult style, which is why I took a break and did a fun mix that I might could actually use. Anyways I hope to have that out soon.
