grant, i liked your mix and you started out with a tune that i like a lot. i think you sort of went out of the atmospheric realm a bit to much on the end but it was nice.

the only thing that bugged me was the second breakdown coming that early and sort of getting the notion of a start stop mix but luckily you started overlapping the drops.

nick, i liked your mix as well, again starting on a classic and it the whole shebang felt like a balanced modern hard rance mix. without the '00 era cosmic gate style not quite epic but not quite hardtrance. good stuff.

i'm going to try to make my mix in the following week, i've had a few other things on my mind but i'm getting there.

Hmm, where is everybody else? Dying to hear the Freestyle, Italo, funky techno, psybreaks, and 2step mixes! I have listened to half of both Grant and Nick's mix, liked what I heard in both (although there were a few times when the hardtrance stuff was a bit TOO hard for me, sorry Nick! :P)

My mix is just about finished... have to give it a few test listens, touch a few things up with Audacity (compression/levels), then upload it. Should be ready to go by either tomorrow night or sometime Monday (leaving on vacation Wednesday)! I spent a lot of time with this one, sourcing tracks and planning it out (I cut down about 45-50 tracks to 12). Can't wait for all you to hear... good mix of tracks old and new, original Detroit and Detroit-influenced... all melodic.

All My Mixes!

Thanks for the feedback Tony, much appreciated. Yeah I kinda did find it hard to stay with atmospheric and keep it well directed, but I did learn a fair bit more about the genre and found some really nice tracks, even some I didn't include which made it worthwhile for me. Had a massive night last night and I'm well and truly spent... sleepy time

All finished with my genre challenge mix - A mix of melodic/Detroit techno both old and new. My first time mixing this genre, I think it came out pretty decently... attempted to (somewhat) mix in key. Hopefully you all like it!

Fun mix, Luke. Really nice stuff, lots of melodies made out of those brass stabs and hits, some of it sounded like a beefed up e-piano. It was enjoyable from start to finish. Nice work!

Nice one Luke, seems you managed to mix together a lot of older and newer material. I'll be giving it a listen soon enough.

As for my mix, I still plan on doing it but may be a little late to submit.
