I was really surprised by how well 99 Problems slipped in there. Great mix - I think I enjoy these types of genre-bending forays much more than a classic dj set these days. Far more varied and entertaining, and full of surprises.

This was such a great idea.

quite nice done jack, the mixing is nice for most part. trackselection was good. the acid trax mashup trick thing was good but offkey at times, but i think it's part of the fun.

i have done that a number of times, mostly by mashing it up with donna summer's i feel love, an idea i stole from dave clarke. but i also mashed acid trax with kylie's better the devil you know and i think whitney houston's i wanna dance, both mainly when i was just fucking around.

ye.

"I believe that's referred to as intelligent drum & bass, which obviously means there's a genre of stupid drum & bass out there" (John Peel)

What key is Acid Trax in? For me it sounds atonal and I can't hear it clashing.

I tried to keep the mixing quite simple where possible. There are a couple of fader slams in there. It doesn't benefit to try and hold long mixes in this kind of set.

I can't say that I loved this mix. I didn't really enjoy any of the beginning until the abba tune, which was done decently but I probably wouldn't listen to it repeatedly. I quite liked the Madonna mash up and Horizons is a top tune.
I think it was just the vibe of this set that I didn't get into, the mixing itself was quite good.

Thanks for the honest response. To be completely honest myself, I didn't really intend for this to have a "vibe" at all. Usually the music I like is strongly evocative, moody or atmospheric in one way or another. Most of the sets I share are generally built out of that kind of music for that kind of effect.

On this mix, I deliberately went with tracks that I like but not because they have much of a vibe (except for Horizons). These are the kind of tracks I'd blast out while getting drunk at a party or preparing to go out. It's not the kind of set I've done before, so I don't know how successful it is, but that was the intention.

Anyway, thanks for listening.

A day late, but I'll forgive him, is a man who I often lock horns with but always have maximum respect for when it comes to his musical taste. No track explanations - hopefully he'll provide some in the thread - but sumptuous selections nonetheless, it has to be...
