First, just out of pure curiosity Az, where did you get the James Holden remixes? I know that's an unreleased track, so it's pretty cool to see them in your set. Excellent, excellent tunes.
Anyway, here's the review:
I hate to say this, but even though I really like each song used in the mix individually, I just don't think that they go well together in the order you placed them. For instance, I think I can separate the mix into like 3 separate sections: First, the opening tracks are all kinda these atmospheric/moody songs, but then, the mix abruptly goes into this very rock-and-roll/funky style starting with "Rise Above", this is the second section, lastly, the final 3 tracks are all in the clicky Border Community style. What I'm trying to say, is that there isn't really any bridges between these 3 different sections, and so the transitions come off as very rough in my opinion. If you had found just two more tracks, one that was kinda halfway between moody and funky for the bridge between the first two sections, and one halfway funky and clicky track to connect the second and third sections everything would have gone much more smoothly, and the mix would have been just that much better.
Finally, like you said, the actual transistions are fairly rough as well, so that is definitely something to improve.
OK, keep on working, and I look forward to hearing your next mix! |
splitting it up into the three sections was intentional, I hate playing just one style for too long, it bores the shit out of me in the most part. I definately agree that I needed 2 more tracks to smooth it out, but in the confines of an hour is wasn't possible
thanks for listening though, much appreciated
