I listened to it. It was decent, but many of the tracks seemed to be laden with the sounds of house and techno that I've grown tired of. To me it seems that many producers are starting to recycle each other's samples and ideas more and more and much of the stuff in here had this "I've heard this all before" feel to it.

Dunno, just my opinion.

Other than that, it was well-constructed, and A Break in the Clouds was good.

Max I thought this mix was pretty good. Definitely liked that intro that combined the Marc DePulse and the Tokyo Black Star tracks, it worked well.
Also noticed you used Airplay as your third track - funny coincidence since it was the third track on the April mix I recently did. I guess we would
both agree on where that one would fit into a set. As for the rest of the mix, it was good. I don't think the Paulo Olarte track really fit in at that
stage in the mix. It is also a track I used before and I had used it towards the very end. Maybe it's because of that but I feel like it's a winding-down
track more than a warming-up track. Anyway, the rest was pretty sweet. Was definitly feeling the last 30 minutes or so, some nice tripped-out
tech vibes there. Overall good stuff. I guess I should mention that (and this actually goes for 12 Inchaes of Pleasure as well) some of the transitions
felt slightly forced. In that sense, the two tracks didn't necessarily fit harmonically yet you mixed them anyway. I can point you to the specific instances if
you would like. Otherwise though I definitly dig your sets.

I hear ya dude, to be perfectly honest I'm rather bored with techno too, this is sort of my "kiss goodbye" to it for awhile as I've been really into the funkier shit lately. what transitions did you feel were forced? thanks for the comments, I appreciate it.

So just letting you know I listened to this, seemed pretty groovy, and it had me bouncing a few times. I particularly liked 19 minutes, 55 minutes, and 61 minutes. This style just isn't exactly me, I like my EDM a little busier than this

No worries though, the mixing was solid for the most part, and I thought the structure was good for people who like this stuff Thanks for the music!

wuhuu that set was awesome! but that Paulo Olarte - Siluetas (Molder Remix) is maybe a better tune for the end or the beginning of a faster set. anyways, for me this is one of the best parts in this set. thanks!
