I enjoyed this a lot more than I imagined. In the past I passed off Suomisaundi as crap, but it's got more merit than I thought. It's funny, ignorant people say that dance music is for taking drugs, but this stuff is really druggy. Like Shongle or Younger Brother, it's got that short attention span, zany/wacky/goofy aspect to it which makes so much more sense when you're on acid or shrooms.
I think this is your best mix yet, mate. Interesting tunes, mostly natural mixing, and a pretty solid flow. However, the reason I say that is because there were tracks in here which I couldn't listen to by themselves, but you gave them enough context that they made sense and were more enjoyable. I think this is probably the highest compliment you can get as a DJ, too: making bad music sound good. There were things I outright liked though. There were some great drum 'n' bass-type tracks and the 'hippie with one drum' sample was hilarious. I wouldn't really listen to most of this stuff at home, but at a big outdoor party, it'd be heaps of fun. Great work.
