OK, this is my first post on this crazy message board. I am a little nuts when it comes to making mixed cd's (I have 14 at the moment) and I am pretty excited to share them with you folks on here because I am looking for some feedback (as always).

I tend to mix breaks, psytrance, progressive and deep house all together. Some mixes are predominantly one genre, some are a blend of all.

There are three on my site right now, all of them quite different, check them out and let me know what you think!


Peace!!!

Well I know that this is the Trance Addicts message board, but to me trance does not have as narrow a focus as it appears to be on this site. Trance can be found in breaks, in tekno, in psy, in progressive, deep house and even drum and bass. Elements of trance are everywhere in electronic music.

I have noticed that other threads have gotten replies and feedback on there mixes, but they are the "melodic trance" and such types. Is this site not open to pushing the definition and boundries of "trance"?

Honestly I am pretty dissappointed really, for all the people brousing this board, and almost 70 views of my thread, not even one post with feedback. I do not need a pat on the back, I already know my mixes are better than most. What I was hoping for was some discussion.

Oh well.

hey dude i know how you feel. i posted up one of my sets the other day and have goten very few replies.
i'll be happy to listen to your stuff. psytrance/breaks/prog. house
thats pretty much what i mix so i'm realy interested in hearing your stuff. where can i download the "something to hold onto set" ? i can't find a link to d'l it on your website. that mix looks to be very interesting.

Hey there Montie,

Nice to finally have an interaction.

I would love to hear your stuff too. NOt many of us who push the boundries it seems.

The Something To Hold Onto mix link will be up next month, as I rotate them. The Intersect mix is similar to it but more intense, party stuff, heavy on the psy.

If I can not find your thread with your link to your mix, can you tell me where i can give it a listen?

Cheers!

Darvin.

yeah dude heres the link to my post http://www.tranceaddict.com/forums/...threadid=118910

i was checking out some of your sets today, but i haven't had the chance to listen all the way thru. it sounds like some good stuff.
i'll post back and give you my input on the mixs once i get a good chance to listen.

hey i finaly got a chance to listen to traveling linty through.

I really like the childout begining. columns of clouds is such an awsome song. i got that on vinyl one of my favorites.
the mixing all the way through was pretty solid i really didn't notice anything too off, (except when you mixed out of columns of clouds).
its hard to really give all the mixs a good listen because of the streaming.
I also liked when you droped that cool breaks remix of elinor rigby. very nice touch.
who does that mix? i'd like to get ahold of i recording of it.
that flowed nicely into it's a fine day.
i liked the progression of the mix, started out chilled and then picked up and got into some harder stuff and then ended out pretty nicely.

i'd like to have teh whole mix on mp3 so i can skip around and listen to it in a high quality.

i'm gonna give the other mixs a listen once i get achance to sit down for an hour to hear the stream thru.
i really like the styles of music you spin. its close to what i spin.

Thanks for the feedback my friend.

That mix is one of my more ecclectic ones fer sure. The beatles remix is by Don L. off of a label called South Beach Underground (www.southbeachunderground.net).

The funny thing is that that mix is one of my most popular, and it was never intended to be public, it was for an old flame.

I listened to your mix and I am going to post my thoughts on your thread.......

give a direct link next time

Hmmm, good point I will do that for sure. My site is in flash however, and although I maintain it (I did not build it) I am pretty low on the computer geek scale so I will have to enquire about the actual link urls as they do not come up by checking the properties.

I will do it though,

Thanks!
