"I think the scientific and the artistic spirit have something in common. The scientist wants not only to learn the facts, but to understand how they cohere, fit together and make a whole. He even uses criteria such as beauty and symmetry to help decide which theory he wants.

The scientist cannot capture the whole cosmos in thought. In his mind he makes a kind of microcosm, which we see as an analogue of the cosmos. In this way we try to get a feeling for the whole. The artist, I suppose, gets a feeling for the whole some other way.”

David Bohm in “Art, Dialogue and the Implicate Order”, published in On Creativity RC (Routledge Classics)

Nicely done mate. Liked the twisted intro as per usual.

Wasn't a fan of all the tracks (World Cup mostly), but overall an enjoyable listen. Your mixing also seems to be improving with each set. Favourite track was Big Time; can never get enough of that one.

Keep up the good work.

Thanks for the listen! I originally wanted to put Electro Sun & Visual Contact - Secret Sequence in place of World Cup but that made it on the last mix instead. I personally thought my worst transition was Big Time -> World Cup, just because World Cup is so FREAKING LOUD, even with the gains turned most of the way down and all my other frequencies reduced it still sounded like crap.

Did you like that last track? That's my favorite <3

Again, thanks for the comments, I'll keep an eye out for your next set too!

That's one of my biggest hates in regards to Electro Sun's tracks. They compress the fuck out of them and half their tracks tend to clip or else sound ridiculously loud in comparison to other stuff. I don't like their musical content that much anyway, so it's kind of a moot point.

Listening:

Intro perfect, I love your intros! The first track is awesome, its blasting from the beginning, not a bad thing, and its very melodic on top of that too. And those key changes, nice, nice! I want this track! Very good start!

Good transition and nice flow with Poison! This is a very nice progression in terms of mixing by your behalf. So far the mix is excellent!

2nd transition is not disturbing but imo you could have made it better or use a different track. This one is a bit lacking the energy pace from the previous two in its initial minutes. Its a nice one but imo not in its place.

A bit lazy next transition but effective. It didnt disturb me. Groovy track, keeps the things going even though they were a bit lowered by the previous track. Decent one.

Was talking to the phone for 2 min so I missed the transition. The track is not bad but I wouldnt classify it as a impressive track. Decent one as well. I am waiting for the big blast in the next minutes!

Next track is a nice one, gets the things pumping again.

33 min, nice breakdown!

The next transition is a bit ropey but not disturbing. So far is nice!

The rest of the mix is good, not any bad moments, the tracks were powerful, they were some dull or cheesy moments (especially the last track is a bit cheesy imo) but apart from that, this is imo your best mix. Keep it up!

I thought those first two were my best transitions and track selection as far as matching energy is concerned. I LOVE Colored Light, and Poison is a great one too.

It's very difficult to find tracks that match the energy level and have melodies or synths that work with the theme of the set, it could have been placed better, but I don't think it killed the energy too bad.

I agree, I think this is where energy is lost the most. I really like that higher pitched sound later in this track, that was practically the only reason I put it on this mix.

Fusion? I felt this track was very good, especially the WAAAOW synth.

White Sensation? This is a good track, but not quite as pumping as the later tracks.

North Shift? Sorry, I'm trying to figure out where you are in the mix in relation to your comments. This is a melodic track, but I don't light up the floor until Intersys - Recharge. I absolutely love that track, and it's only just been released!

ARRRGH! I LOOOVE that track and you think it's cheesy? >.< The melodies, yes, a tad cheesy, but did you not pay attention to all the insane stuff Quadra did with the vocal samples on that track? I couldn't possibly do any of that if I tried. I'm also glad I put Ghost in the Machine before that track, maintaining the psychedelic theme.

However, I truly appreciate the constructive criticism. Your tastes and mine vary quite widely, but it's good that we can agree on some things! I'm glad you think this is my best mix, I would have to shamelessly agree Thanks for the listen, Mag, I really appreciate it!

Well, it didnt work for me at all. I didnt look at the tracklist before listening ( I always do that) but then I must say Quadra dissapoints me with that track. He usually produces quality tracks but that one is not my taste at all. Still, I must say that I mostly say the things that either I liked very much or disliked. The set overall was a nice listen. Your mixing and sets evolve very very nicely. Looking forwards to the dark set!

Last of my bumps. Man, only 2 replies? Bummer, I thought this was one of my best sets...

Oh ok!

It was a hit and miss mix for me, but then I am a ****** trance lover

Some great tracks, but also some ones I thought were awful, I really hate repeated/sung vocals in psy, they very rarely work.

Mixing on the whole was good, but some of the transitions were a bit abrupt I felt.

Still, there are some class tracks in there, and the progression was good given it was all full-on
