What tracks/records released over the last year or two have sounded the best?

- LOOKING FOR records that are balanced, transparent, tight, punchy and dynamic.

- NOT LOOKING FOR muddy low-end, over-loud mids or harsh highs.

The type of sound you long to produce, the tracks you A/B to get the best from your mixes!

yes anything from Prydz

D. Ramirez & Mark Knight - Colombian Soul

Anything from U-Recken

BT - Rose Of Jericho (Album Mix) is incredibly well balanced, most of his productions are.

....and pretty much anything by Robert Babicz.

i think 'perfect' is pretty subjective here too. a classical engineer is going to have a different idea of perfection than a dub engineer than a jazz engineer than a swedish house mafia engineer

The way I judge what a good mix is, regardless of genre and stylistic protocol, if I don't fight hearing it and if it draws my attention without me noticing. If the world around me completely evaporates; conversations with others are stopped (because everyone's listening - not just me) and put on hold until the song is done - that's a good mix.
