Darkpsy is pretty hard to mix, I'm not really used to it. I had several bad transitions, more than I would like. Maybe in the future I could get used to it... but you gotta finish the set! Past 50 minutes is where I start playing really insane music... when I was listening to it, I said to myself "there isn't a single person on this planet who could like this fucking music" lol. My girlfriend had a "dear god make it stop" moment when she was listening to Modulation, which comes in at around 57 minutes. You have some more madness to listen to, I suggest you take a dip into the part where few have been

Thanks for listening!

I just did I and I have to say that I liked the first half more. It went WAY too fast in the end for my taste. It really pierces holes through skulls! Pretty insane stuff, probably I just didnt listen them to the right time but atm they dont appeal to me.

I'm sure if you listened to it straight through it would have been better, simply because you can understand the progression a bit more. I must say, it's most definitely not my favorite style of music to play, it becomes a tad obnoxious past Modulation. My favorite track on that whole set was Brainwash - Music for Massives. I prefer that type of dark psytrance as opposed to darkpsy. While they're both pretty intense, the former is more listenable than the latter. That's why I say "nobody on this planet could possibly like this music"

I am almost positive you will prefer Yang this time around, Yin gets a little insane toward the end. I know you listened to the original Taijitu on your bike ride last time, and it would probably be preferable to hop on a bike this time; your energy will be pumping the whole time!

I hate being critical of another DJ's work... but you are right about the bad transitions in Yin's Revenge, far too many for a mix you planned to release and some (not all) are complete trainwrecks, which is a downer because you had AWESOME track selection in that mix, but the poor transitions made it very difficult (for me) to listen to the set in its entirety.(even though I did, haha)

I'd love for you to re-mix it and try to nail those transitions as it would be a fantastic dark set (except for the last 6mins).

Hope you don't take my review to harshly.

Nah, no worries, I know that I had way too many bad transitions, and if I had the time, I would have practiced them all more and made sure that there were gonna be no issues.

The very last track also had a beatgridding problem (darkpsy can never seem to find a steady rhythm), so I know that Ignotus Scienta wasn't the only track that screwed me over. I feel like I can fix most of the trainwreck issues in the future just by prelistening at the cue just a little longer before starting to turn up the volume at making sure that the beatgrid is in place, although there are plenty of spots where it can get thrown off without warning... perhaps my cue placement is something to consider?

My mixing skills are issues for most of my mixes, and I fault that with experience. Darkpsy was a completely new and uninhabited genre that I had never worked with (not even on the last Yin, that was just night full-on) and I didn't even practice my transitions beforehand. Yang's Redemption was far more up my alley with mixing styles, and I had a few ones that were a little too hasty but overall no totally obvious issues.

Hopefully in the future I can spend a little more time on my transitions before spinning it, but in the meantime, I hope you enjoyed the tracks and my set progression at least...

Most definitely dude! Loved the track selection and progression..

I'm kinda bummed though, because I feel like the bad transitions made it a terrible set, even if the tracks were good. The set wasn't even enjoyable because of the mixing and I know that I'm a better DJ than that. Kinda ripping myself apart for this, sorry folks, I'm just embarrassed. I shouldn't have released it.
