I have made my promo mix available online for download. The set was mixed on a Vestax PCV-275 and recorded through a Summit Audio DCL200 and RME Digi96 audio card into PC. The mix consists of new and old tracks alike in the style I mix at clubs. The mp3, tracklist, and cue files are below:
I've been composing for 8 years. I am trained in piano, audio engineering and electrical engineering so I know about song structure and recording - but as far as actually DJing I've only been doing it for the past 3 months. I've just started doing DJ gigs 5 weeks ago - hence the promo mix.. (I've been performing live for a while though).

Superb Mix!
Just like to comment on your mix mate, top quality just what i like to listen to! I would go as far to say that it's been the best mix i've heard in this forum for a while, mainly because of the tune selection and it's the style i like to play as well.
i know I will probably get flamed but fuck it... seriously I am not bashing you but I mean look at the tracklist it's all filled up with anthems... and I mean do we really need another Tiesto or Ferry Corsten... I am not insulting you just making an observation, if I did offend u I apologise but I think you should be more creative with the tracklist, but that again that's what I used to spin when I just started to spin...

trancearmada, no offense taken! I'm really not into the melody dominated tracks like a Tiesto. When I put a melodic track in there I like it to have dominant rhythmic and groove components. In fact I wouldn't consider most of these tracks anthems...
Afterburn - Frattboy
Armin Van Buuren - Sunburn (Original Mix)
Midway - Monkey Forest (Original Mix)
Three Drives - Carrera 2 (Original Mix)
E-Craig - Drum Beats (Club Mix)
Afterburn - North Pole
Ralphie B - Massive - (Filterheadz Remix)
Alphazone - Afterhours (Original Mix)
it's about the mix and track selection. That's just my opinion of course. Also, this is a promo mix and you have a good tracklisting in there to send to promoters (most of the club promoters in the US aren't even familiar with the majority of these songs). As far as being new to spinning that may be true but I've been composing trance since before I ever heard of guys like Tiesto and I own more than 300 trance genre CD's and now more than 300 vinyls..so certaintly not new to the music..just doing what I like
