I very rarely buy mix compilations, because I can get better quality from this forum - and it doesn't cost me anything
Keep up ze good work everyone.

I share the same sentiments as the other posters .Many of my friends do not own pcs, so when I play them mixes/sets from off here my kudos is absolute.
I only wish more downloaders would reply to posters .I always think credit where credit is due.
A site of true enrichment, along with some cheeky bastards- but that adds to the spice.
Much appreciation and respect for all your hard work. I.T.A.L.Y.x

I honestly hadn't ventured into here much when I first joined TA a few years back, as I never really have much time to check out online sets. And for whatever reason, I just assumed there'd be nothing but Armin-wannabes filling things up in here ("hey, sykonee, how's about some crow with that foot?").
So imagine my pleasant surprise when I discovered there was actually quite a bit of musical variety and a lot of humbleness to be had here. Heck, it even inspired me off my duff and actually try my hand at the ol' mixed set thing again. I still don't know if I'll be able to check out much, but at least I know there is some good shit to be had here.

I think discogs mixes forum is still the best place to find quality stuff. There's more techno than here, way less trance and probably more weird/original/unusual stuff. It's less focused on current tunes, a lot of old school mixes are available, maybe too much.
Also overall, people know more their stuff on discogs than on TA (I don't mean nobody knows his stuff on TA) which isn't surprising as for the most part these are long time (obsessive) vinyl collectors.
And the funny (to me) 'progressive' adjective widely used on TA is almost unknown there.
discogs has some wonderful mixes for sure.

I listen to a few sets here and there and most tend to be pretty high quality. The amount of downloads (as a poster) you can get from here are pretty good, and the diversity of stuff is not bad at all for a "trance" board. There are quite a few talented jocks here who dig deeper and play stuff that isn't obvious.
i found a lot of gems just by browsing this forum, thanks to everyone thats posts. this is one of the few places i can consistently find mixes for any mood i may have.

I agree with all of you. I often find a better collection of tracks in the mixes posted here than by any superstar DJ's mix. Keep those mixes coming!

You know...I used to play out...and it gets old when you deal with all the drama behind the scenes. I love spinning music. It's been a true passion of mine for a very very long time. I love it. And I think that it's true when it comes to DJ's here vs superstars. There is so much potential, it's unbelievable. I know that I spin from the heart and I can imagine that all the other DJ's on here do that as well which is simply amazing.
Best of luck to all you fellow DJs...keeping the music alive!
