I had a listen to this one recently. I thought it was mostly very good in your usual reliable style - beautiful flowing melodic music with a very Lee Burridge-esque vibe.
My only issue here is that you seemed to throw in a couple of really pumping prog bangers in a way that felt slightly random. For example, the Ezequiel Arias mix of Tell Me is an absolute beast, with a proper heavy bassline. I saw it in the tracklist before listening and was interested to hear how you would build up to that energy level in your set. However, when I heard it mixing in, the set was still very much in that laid-back warm-up vibe, and then suddenly we were at peak time, and then immediately back into a more mellow vibe! You did it again a little later with another track I didn't recognise. You also mixed out of the massive breakdown of Tell Me, a bit like you cut short Tuesday Maybe in your last set. That rising high pitch noise in Tell Me is an explosive club moment, so mixing out before it got there makes me wonder why you played that track.
This is only a mild criticism - most of the set was very, very good as usual. It's mainly about what we've talked about before - your instinct seems to be to keep things smooth and flowing, rather than properly blowing up a mix. I think it would be cool to hear a genuine peak time Deeve set one day, if you can resist the temptation to keep chilling things out.
