Isn't it always important to get the geography out of the way, first?
I actually really like this, Lilith. I was only familiar with Drunk As A Monk, so all the other songs were new, and I definitely will listen to it a few more times and maybe look into some of those artists a bit more
Flow was really nice, imo, and it wasn't obvious at all what was a new song and what was old. I think you're lying about not touching a mixer in months, because the mixing was excellent as well.
Glad I finally got to catch a set from you. Was really good and I'll definitely be giving it more listens

Yep this is a pretty tasty mix. Some really interesting sounds and atmospheres in each track and they're all quite different from each other. Maybe we're wrong but I agree with Lews on the lying about 'not mixing for ages' statement because this was solid. Please keep posting sets coz I really enjoyed this one.

Most of its relatively contemporary, the Noise Unit and Intermix tracks are from 1995-1997ish era, sort of picked them because they're ageless/before their time like a lot of Leeb's tracks.
Spent a lot of time finding the right tonality for the collection, so they aren't all that drastically different, even if there is a bit of variation in beat structure.
(Plus at 130-132bpm its not too hard to mix!)

Enjoyable mix for sure. It picks up for me personally around the half-hour mark and as you say, it's slower than the last one I heard from you. I like the breakbeat track to end too, the flow is definitely good here. From my sets that you've heard, the one thing I sometimes struggle with is getting the flow to work but you've nailed it, so good job

Thanks Ian for listening, that one in particular at the end is one of my favourite Hybrid tracks, I also had a Deadcandance track which was sung in the same key with similar structure so I slipped it in to give it a little more depth.
Oh yeah, the dark-electro in the middle is fairly intense stuff, had to do a bit of hunting around to find the right riff-laden sounds there.
