just listened this. and this is what i have to say about it:

i really liked the first mix from yo yo to manzanilla even though i didn't really like the second tune. the mix to deliver me on the other hand sounded quite bad and some other mix before that as well didn't sound so hot. the mix to airtight sounded really good again. but overall i'd say that there were too many bad mixes in this one.

I agree, the transitions were off, but I thought I could get away with it since the music overshadowed the flaws. My mixing has improved a lot. If you listen the last 3 sets (prog house, then uplifting trance, and now tech-trance) I put out, there are close to zero mixing problems and your experience will be much better with those sets. Thanks for listening!

and the track list wasn't really "proper trance" IMO, just some ordinary trance, not cheesy though, that's a plus. so i'd say that this mix had potential, but there were too many bad transitions and i think i expected a bit too much from the mix.

This mix means a lot to me because it helped answer a question I had about this type of trance. Oh and about the labeling I have explained this a few times before in this thread and the one in Music Discussion why I named this mix proper trance so I think it is justified.

It's also good to see you expected a lot from this set. Those type of comments prevent me from being lazy or putting out crappy sets. Besides my own drive to keeping the quality high it helps to hear from people like you. Again thanks for the review and I hope my future sets are up to snuff.

Cool set! Nice bass switch from track 1 to track 2, the basslines are so similar, they lined up perfectly. Transition from 2 to 3 is a little more noticeable, but it's interesting because the tracks are more on the minimal side as far as layering goes. Great move from track 5 to 6. Love the uplifting bleeps! Like the transition between tracks 9 and 10, too. It makes my brain hurt (in a good way). Overall, sometimes the beats are a little off, but the cueing, volume level and EQs are right on, so awesome set!

I'm guessing your set is defined by that old-sounding synth that rolls up and down through each track? That's what "classic" or "proper" trance is all about right? In the first half of the set it's all about that synth, but after track 7 it gets darker and more "underground goa-ish" I guess, but the synth is still there. Your track selection reminds me of Moogwai-Voila and Viktan-Dr. Nonono that I have in my own collection of vinyl. Very hypnotic mix overall, I guess the way trance was meant to be, but I still love any anthem track that has a unique sound to itself.

I can see a person definitely needs a lot more DJ skills to spin this kind of trance (props to you!). You can line up the tracks so much earlier because they don't follow the anthem formula, and you can mix them in faster without it sounding harsh. What did you use to mix this set? Sometimes I think I hear vinyl pops but that might just be the track...

Oh by the way, my personal favorite on Chronoscale: Aura Indigo.
