This was very nice, as I expected. Loads of great tracks here, and it went from a very chilled feeling to a bit more energy at the end without losing that relaxed vibe. The mixing was very tight too.
The only thing I'll say is that a couple of the tracks felt slightly out of place. I really liked the remix of Mermaid, but it felt like you mixed out of it quickly and went back to a summery vibe, when I think it has more of an ethereal, moody feel. I reckon you could have trimmed a couple of tracks out and kept that uplifting feeling across the whole set.
Still, that's only a minor point. Lots of great tracks here that must have took some time to put together. I'll be looking out for these names. |
Cool, thanks for the words.
I definitely understand your point about the ethereal, dark section from around the middle-ish onwards and then the transition into the more uplifting vibe at the end, can understand how this may be seen as slightly out of place in the context. I wanted to create an intentionally distinct transition between "Mermaid" and "Thought" as I felt it could be akin to emerging into light after the dark tunnel section if you take my meaning. I like the contrast from dark to light and stops it getting perhaps a little stale.
The reason for the quick mix was that I wanted to mix the breakdown from "Mermaid" into the ambient opener of "Thought". I love how the Luiz B track just explodes into life from the first beat, didn't feel I could capture that with a straight 4x4 mix, hence the halfway meld.
Will agree with you about the amount of tracks, could have maybe trimmed it by two without losing the flow. But then again I'm a greedy arse.
Cheers again, really appreciate the comments
