Since I apparently inspired this set, I thought it only fair to give it a listen. I finally sat down with it on a sunny afternoon with my girlfriend as suggested. The first half of it is very good – lots of very lush melodic dance music arranged nicely, just as promised in the description. In the second half, I felt you lost the vibe a little bit and moved too quickly into a more intense, late-night sound that was a big change to the first half. By the end of the set it no longer felt appropriate for the sunny afternoon context. I feel this could have been split into two separate mixes and would have worked better. But I will be returning the complement and stealing some tracks from the first hour for my own sets, because there were some beauties in there.
On a technical note, the mixing was mostly pretty smooth with some nice long blends. However, there were times when you tried mixing in some heavy bass parts and there was a lot of low end cancellation. An example would be when you mixed in Arise. I personally would never try to mix that track in once the bassline has begun – it’s far too big and heavy to smoothly introduce.
