Right on. This was solid, dude. Let me skim through again for more comments.
Steady as she goes for the first hour, clunking and chunking with different proggy beatz until you drop Niyaz - Dilruba (Andy Gray ‘greyed out’ remix) which suddenly had me TRIPPING BALLS. You dropped a few other familiar tunes after that, just driving the mix along until the second hour where you are starting to chill out and diversify your progginess. You are changing energy levels here and there, and that worked for the length of the mix. Some tracks I feel like I'm banging hard and then the next track I need a cigarette (even though I don't smoke). I definitely appreciated finishing off with a little Liquid Soul toward the end, that was boss.
All in all, a great live set. I can see J00F's trance crackers dancing the whole night to this. Good stuff  |
Thanks very much for your review as always mate.
I think you summarised exactly what I was trying to do. Dilruba was definitely the 'there are enough people in the club now; dance you bastards!' track. It did the job but it was probably a bit too massive for that time of night and difficult to follow up. I'm going to play it later on next time, when everyone is already fired up.
It was quite nice playing long enough to meander with the energy too - rarely get the chance to do that. It was interesting playing stuff like '6 weeks and 1 million years'. Half the crowd stopped dancing with that track which made me think I had messed it up a bit, but the other half were slack jawed and memorised when the melody came in, and some people came to the DJ box to ask what it was, saying how beautiful it was
Sweet things was actually a request by the way - I'm quite glad the dude requested it as it went off!
