Thanks for your support Sushi!
I know you liked the more melodical elements in the first one, the second version was more directed to a dancefloor than to listeners. I foresook the mashups and glitchier side of tech house and concentrated more on bass and percussive elements. Not that the first one was badly mixed, but i am very happy how flawlessy the 2nd one ended up. I am practically sleeping with the decks these days and i think it really has paid off. I should have my website up soon, so hopefully no more stupid sendspace. Because i like to encode in a higher quality and despise Megaupload it is the only viable solution at the moment. Thanks again for those who took the time to listen. There is actually a part 3 with a more minimal tinge and tons of 3 deck mixes, but i am holding off on it for now as i used some promo material that i was asked not to until its release.

Liked this one a lot more. The first had a lot of good tracks, but was a bit disjointed. A lot more cohesive this time around.
Thanks man. I can totally understand that. I don't pre plan or anything, i just wake up sometimes and get the urge to make a set. The first one i was feeling in a trippy mood, the second one, i don't know...the more i listen i think its probably the best stuff i have ever done. Really appreciate you listening.
Merci Marie! Je suis content tu as aimer les deux! On ce voit en Janvier et je te laisse choisir des tracks!

I just realized, that might have been misleading. When I said 'first,' I was talking about the previous one (what's love got to do with it). The 'second' one is the first one in this thread. I haven't listened to the 2nd one in here yet.

I hate that mix with a passion and have deleted it for good. Simply said the mixing was boring (outro/intro and lacked creativity....good tracks aren't good enough i know this now.) Getting a 3rd deck has allowed me to do more without the fear of running out of track. If you notice i bring in elements alot earlier and the tracks never run on their own for too long. That extra deck has helped my mixing as well as my creativity so much..the fact that you noticed makes me feel really good. I am starting to feel very confident about my mixing skills after foresaking social life/ personal hygene to perfect them(when im not on them i have been producing quite a bit too and hopefully i'll start peppering them into my sets when i think they are ready). I think you might like the other one as well, and I think the sets will only get better from here. Thanks for the boost of confidence . I will probably do one set a week and pop it in this thread. Its alot of material to belive i'll get tons of listens..but so much good stuff is in my bag right now and I am feeling so inspired as of late. Like I mentioned before..although not thouroughly my "sound" part 2 is in my eyes the best stuff I think I have ever done. I even converted some tribal/trance heads into Tech House believers.
Et Marie, certainment...mais mon autographe ne vaut vraiment pas cher sur ebay! Fait attention..tu sais ce qui est arriver la derniere fois une fille a pris des photos avec moi.
Next mix more chill and rythmic...i plan on opening with Mr. Vana's track. I really like it and think I have some stuff that will fit nicely with it.
(ps i also did a Poker Flat tribute mix between Whats Love Got To Do With It and these ones. I wasn't a fan of it either and regret releasing it. I was on a high ( a bit literal too as spliff and beers wher flowing too freely) from getting some confirmation on some releases they will be having from me and decided to kiss some ass. It got the Bug stamp of approval..i dunno i just found the flow was shit. It was alot harder than i thought only using tracks from one label..so limiting.)

Yeah, I know exactly what you mean. There's nothing more painful than going back & listening to a mix I made & thinking "why did I just throw together my top 10?" I was starting to come off of edm for a bit there, but in the past month or so, there's been a flood of quality stuff (even though it still takes some digging).
It seems like the quick & overlapping style's been coming on strong this summer, and I'm definitely a fan. It's a much better barometer for creativity than the list of tracks put together without interruption (regardless of flow). Some of us are spoiled with the unlimited channels in Live, so I can only imagine how big of a difference another deck would have (especially since you have to do that whole beatmatching thing ).
Beatmatching isnt as intimidating as everyone makes it out to be. It really sucks those first few months, but if you practice it becomes quite easy. Cdj's dont have the same potential as ableton, but they sure are alot of fun to play with. I use ableton to edit (it is really great if you want to play a track with a higher bpm at a lower speed. I do this often with techno tracks that have a sound i am looking for but dont want to play at breakneck speed. Not fucking up the pitch as you would unedited is great.) I think its a great tool, i just find it a little less fun. When i say fun, i'm talking about those hectic times were you are trying to do 4 things at once. Takes a while to grasp, but i just don't get the same rush with the software.
That and I absolutely despise warping tracks more then those days i was yelling at my Cd's like Happy Gilmore.
"Your home!!!!! Why won't you fit in your fucking home!!!!"
Software isnt going to pick the tracks for you, that is the most imporant thing to me. I won't not listen to a set because its done by mac/pc. I think those who act like that are pretty retarded.(i get my fill with reason and cubase..it feels good to get off the mac and mix sometimes. I fucking adore the ableton sequencer.)
I think those who use it to straight up mix cop out a bit...but some people master the fucking thing and do stuff that is unbelievable. As far as the overlap, man when you find 2 tracks that fit so good and practically mix themselves its better than finding the only virgin in the whorehouse.
+1 on releases...the summer ibiza cheese is done, time for the good stuff.
