Hey there...

You're in Norway? How 'bout that...

I really like your playlist. We have very similar sounds. I also spin vinyl. The track arrangement is great.

You're too hard on yourself about the beatmatching. It's actually pretty good, especially if you haven't been doing it long. The only thing is I like long transitions and yours seemed somewhat brief. This is probably fine for now, but maybe stretch them out some more? It will also allow for a smoother transition.

I'd have to really analyze your set before commenting on the eq's. At my first listen, it sounded fine. Maybe I'll listen this weekend. The rule of thumb is to kill or lower the bass on the incoming track and when bringing in the track, any adjustments should be done gradually in sync with the bars (4 beats).

If you get a chance, check out the stuff on my website.

Good luck.

...relating to the essential nature

Thanks for the reply!

About my mixing, what I generally try to do with the bass levels, is to almost kill it on the cued track, then gradually turn it up about 1/3, then at the end of a bar slam it in to a bit past normal while quickly turning the bass down a lot (not too much though) on the live track. You commented my mixing length, well, I try to keep the transitions as lengthy as possible, but sometimes I feel it really isn't necessary. In the future, when I get more comfortable with the decks, I'll really like to do the mixes in a more progressive way, if you understand what I mean (overally more like Paul Van Dyk's "Politics of Dancing" than the usual "fading" of two songs into each other). In other words, mix a bit more "hard-house-like" than standard trance-mixing, or at least try to be as creative as possible.

By the way, nice website! Totally agree with your opinion on the music genres you play, I quote Armin (or was it PvD) when telling people what I play, that is, "electronic dance music". Mostly all kinds of trance, some progressive/tribal house tunes and a bit of techno.

that would be PvD's quote

Hye man not bad for your first set, loads of nice feel good tunes in there, keep it up!
