Thanks a ton sushi.

Thanks for the detailed review Oscar, I was being pretty critical of myself but when I listen to my own stuff all I hear is the mistakes. I was mainly upset with my EQing work, it was just sloppy. I need to stop recording while I'm stoned, I tend to get impatient and lazy and it shows.

Yeah, I really think you are just being overly critical on yourself. I don't think it flowed as well as Dog Days., but overall this was a pretty solid mix with some good tracks.

None of the transitions were that bad, save for the couple times you cut out of a nice blend too early as Oscar pointed out. You had a nice groove going towards the end and kinda stopped it short, but you picked it back up rather quickly. The EQing was a little off at times, but thats something I have been working on myself.

You seem to recognize where your mistakes were, and I think you're on the right track.

I've said it a lot here on TA that the main problem with most Tech House DJs is that their sets are too samey and end up boring me to death. Such is not the case here. You chose tracks that balance the "tech" and the "house" pretty damn well.

Sorry Oscar, but definitely not. It may be that you don't listen to techno that often but I know and I'm pretty sure enydo also knows that most of these tracks are definitely not the undergrounds of the bunch and have been played to death lately. I could tell by just looking at the tracklist.

I will check it out however, Dog Days was very decent.

Valid point...however, I never said the tracks were 'the undergrounds of the bunch', I only said I like the nice balance between house and techno that they offer. They don't need to for me to know that I like them.

I'm surprised to read such a comment from you, specially since you've been a champion of 'good music' regardless of release date and exposure lately.

Thanks for taking a listen I suppose.

Haha I simply misunderstood you so I had to be an asshole and attempt to correct.

This made me sad then really happy. Did I tell you I love you today, sunshine?

I'm still all for "good music is good music", but I also appreciate extensive digging and when I see a tl that looks a lot like one from 70% of the big jocks it turns me off a bit. I like freshness not in a sense of release date (and let me make it carved in stone that I think release date is the most irrelevant thing when measuring the quality of a track), but in a sense of idea and concept. As for exposure I'm not sure I've ever stated I enjoyed listening to stuff that's been hammered to death over something I've never heard. If I did then I guess I don't feel that way anymore, although it isn't that big of a deal.

You're right, I don't really have the time / money right now to dig extensively.

However, I had no idea big jocks were "caning" all this stuff so extensively, to be honest I don't really follow TL's unless someone just happens to post a set I think looks interesting. I heard Konrad Black play Ben Klock - Subzero last week, but that's about it. I realize some of these tracks are a bit old, and a bit played out, but I like them, I wanted to mix them, so I did.

When I get on Beatport and dig I just go around and listen to random things, follow "user's also bought", and dig through label / artist catalogs. I just pick music I like, and I don't pick it for any other reason other than that.

I never accused you of doing that. It's admirable that you do what you like and there is absolutely nothing wrong with that being that you are a dj. I was simply stating my opinion, because I am a cunt and I like to make my voice heard, you don't owe me any explanation.

Also I never said I don't enjoy listening to overplayed stuff, period. Good music is good music. The only thing is that in my head it loses that touch that something equally good but a bit more underrated or completely unheard has.

Ah, well yeah I can understand that. I just felt like defending myself because it seemed like a bit of an attack, even if you didn't mean it that way.

If you're gonna be an asshole, at least wait until AFTER you listen to the set Kenny
