patience d00d.
downloaded yesterday when you posted it and just listened.
constructive feedback?? ...
this mix rocked!
very wide range of tracks here. the flow is there for me for the most part. I can appreciate the way you chose tracks, focusing on the feeling and key of the tracks versus the style or genre. veryyyyy goood. the best way to go. tis the way sander does it; and i think you've taken a note or two from him (am i wrong?).
i am not too fond of breaks but the only real breaks, the first three tracks, were nice and tolerable. using breaks in the begining, i have found, is usually very sucessful for a mix. no exception here.
so some of the mixing isn't perfect. some of the levels are a bit obnoxious. but it isn't in a way that detriments the mix. most of the incoming tracks are very prominent and not as blended per usual. but this for me is actually a plus! we all know your bringin in a track, might as well not hide it! lol
ok, most of the mixing is good and the energy is also good. but i think what is lacking is consistency of style and a bit of flow. I think the main example of this is going from The Fruit to Killa..
I mean, geez. talk about a style jump. the energy is good and I can see where you were coming from there, but the melodic emphasis of The Fruit cannot compete with Killa and so it causes a clash and a dissipation of interest.
so if there was one point or peice of advice i could give to you it would be:
put more care and thought into your progression and trackselection. try and respect the styles and genres a bit more and learn to build melodically, or maybe more specifically, build emotionally. because if you have a track like Killa in with your mix you better be able to deal with the melodics/emotion involved.
ok, so personally i really like your style and love your ability to successfully experiment and use fun tracks, but on the other hand this is a bit childish and you should try and gain a deeper and more mature respect for the music and try and acheive an emotional result along with your already very energetic one.
