Originally posted by elektrikal Hey Ziptnf, I started a thread few days ago titled "Newcomer to psytrance, sort of" and you were kind enough to recommend some mixes along w/ your own. I dl all your mixes you linked to in your sig and gotta say man, I loved them all. Whatever it is you spin, i'm slurpin it cuz its great. Keep it up and looking forward (and expecting)to hearin more from you. Especially diggin the more full on stuff. Some people on these boards I've seen say that type is more susceptible to being cheesy, not having really followed psytrance I am not sure how the classifications go but love the full on i'm hearing from you and the sets I have from guy salama. Odd since I've kinda stopped listenin to trance produced after '05 but am now jumpin aboard the psytrance train.

Wow! Great to hear, man, I'm really happy you enjoy my mixes! I'm going to create an archive thread of all my mixes in a few weeks, you should check out some of my older stuff too, like my January set "Warped Reality". I consider Warped Reality and this set, Frequency Surge, to be the epitome of peak-time full-on psytrance, trying to find music that doesn't bore the listener, or annoy him at the same time. It's a very healthy, but volatile state of mind that very few full-on tracks can maintain. I try to look for active energy, melodic tracks (but too happy = too cheesy), with minimalistic riffs and sounds, and generally something that I haven't heard before. Sometimes that's difficult to find, but I find it nonetheless!

I'm really glad to hear that, what sets of mine have you listened to so far? Which ones did you like the best? What did you think of THIS one? I'm just asking these questions so I can find out what a newcomer like you can dig in a psytrance set. Thanks for the listen, man, look forward to TONS more music from me this year!!

the sets i have of yours are color flux, yang and yin, and frequency surge. I dl but deleted dynamic reflex since it didnt appeal to me as much as the other ones. Regarding which one I like the best, i have to listen to yang and yin more since I like the mindset of that mix, with the two halves, kinda how I arrange my tracklists with shifts in mood. Frequency surge is prob the fav for now.

Bump.

Come on, kids. Domesticated, kr00t0n, J? No thoughts?

Just listened to it this morning (you impatient fool )

The loud laugh in the opening was a bit annoying, but the first track was awesome!

Really nice banging mix, though I'm not a fan of Mescaline, and the transitions were fine, if sometimes short, with only the mix in to Hemisphere being a bit muddled.

Really enjoyed the bang bang of this dude, one of my fav mixes from you

Yeah, well if I'm an impatient fool, you are a lazy bastard



There was more of the loud laugh, but I cut it out of the opening to get straight to the music. You gotta love the Rasta tour guide at Bob Marleys' mansion, kr00t0n, have you no respect for Bob Pillow and the spliff?

Yeah, I had a few dodgy transitions in this one, but I thought it banged pretty hard nonetheless. Thanks for the kind words, I'm glad you liked it! I know that the mega-intense full-on isn't always up your alley, but I'm glad this one was!

I honestly haven't had a chance to have a full listen yet... I've been busy working on a new set of my own, as well as preparing for a Psy Festival this week, which I leave for tomorrow... I'll burn your mix for the drive up there.
