Props for playing Todd Terje, Mjøndalens finest. Will check it out.

Nice, I've been looking for this Todd Terje track ID for a bit now. Thanks for the heads up.


New Jody track is excellent.


Nice selection but this set is all over the place and the mixing leaves something to be desired.

That's how Jody's sets tend to be, stylistically speaking. Mixing left something to be desired? I didn't hear a single trainwreck. Perhaps you wanted lengthier transitions...but now it's just down to nitpicking and subjectivity.

Sorry next time I'll make sure not to leave any opinions on the mix.

wow everyone loves Ticon

No need to get your knickers in a bind. I'm just trying to understand your complaints...i.e. "The mixing leaves something to be desired." I don't understand why. Fair enough? It makes me think there's something wrong with my hearing.

what do you mean by: "all over the place"?
i'm not criticizing your opinion, i just wanna know...
anyways, jody is one of my favorite dj's. i love his mixing style cus it's always quick n' smooth. his track selection is always excellent and the flow of his sets can't be beat in my opinion...this mix is bad ass and his song is the shit. if you wanna download a good jody set click here > linky

Perhaps what UWM is trying to say is that Jody's mixing is rather simplistic in this set and somewhat predictable. A DJ doesn't have to trainwreck for his mixing to leave something to be desired, for example (And I'm NOT trying to start a battle here, just an example) I would say that Armin's mixing certainly leaves something to be desired in that almost all of his mixes follow a very "cookie cutter" pattern, something that some people love him for. I'm not faulting Armin for mixing this way, it's just part of his style I've grown not to enjoy so much.

IMO, in this set Jody's mixes (I'm only listening to this for the first time now) seem to follow a bit of a pattern, and for a few of the transitions it's not that he trainwrecks, but simply that I feel a different style of mix would have been more appropriate. This also seems to coincide with that fact that stylistically, the set is definitely going in a few different directions at once, and never really seems to settle into one well defined groove.

It's still a good set, there are just some minor issues with it IMO, just like in many other sets by terrific DJ's such as Jody. Unfortunately, I simply think I've heard better from him, and hope that I was perhaps able to elaborate on and articulate UWM's criticism a bit more.

Cheers.

And Bobby, sorry if I totally missed the point you were trying to make...

i see what you're saying and i am exactly the opposite. i LOVE how his mixing is so simple cus it just blends in so nicely for me. he's one of the few dj's where i can say "perfect tracklist"

like i said though, this isn't my favorite jody mix but it's still pretty good. check out the other mix i posted and tell me what you think about that one. the mixing is A LOT more complicated in that set
