Meh. Unless he gets pretty creative with the mixing on that, it's nothing special. The issue I have with a lot of mix CDs coming out lately is that it takes far too long to put them out after they're recorded. This presents a problem, as by the time they're released, all of the tracks have already been hammered to death. I've been playing about four of those tracks for a few months now.

Troxler is obviously very talented as a DJ, so he could have put together a far more imaginative tracklist than this, especially after the Herculean efforts of Cassy and Tama Sumo only a month or two ago. Hoping I'll be proved wrong when I hear this.
I don't even want to listen to it.

I don't like mix CDs.
It's always easier to do that than actually try to do something with substance.

OK, so I finished listening to this. The weird way that this is mixed will either make it or break it for people, I guess. The beginning is damn solid up until "The Soul Part II". Then he gets all experimental in his mixing for the next 4 or 5 tracks which kills the nice flow he had going on and finishes with another solid streak of tracks that are very Bpitch sounding. It's nothing groundbreaking, but a nice listen nonetheless.
The inclusion of that Revenge and Craig Smith track is so weird, it's like someone dared him to do it. It doesn't fit the track preceding it or the track following it
That said, rest of the tracklist is pretty sweet...I absolutely love the original of Right At It. Birds and Souls is so cool, Shaun Reeves has been playing it a lot.

It's weird, alright. But I personally think that's the best pulled off transition of the whole mix.
Yeah I wasn't into this mix at all, I have live sets of his that are better than this. Sadly it seems this is a pretty common trend in mix compilations. So many of them are haphazardly put together and either tend to be a snapshot of the DJs' crate from 6 months ago or a wankfest of material from their label/friends with little substance. Shame considering their expecting people to pay for this, it feels like something Seth wouldn't ever stand behind as a product.

love that baeka - right at it piece. used it in a mix a while back, its dominant sounds are distinct enough in feel, that there are only a few things you can mix from, for it to not sound like a weird transition.
