Firstly, thanks to everyone who took their time to listen. Seeing as how you all probably have dozens of hours worth of new sets, singles and albums to listen to, I really appreciate that you had the patience to reserve about four hours for my set in particular.

It's almost criminal that a DJ of your talents doesn't play out. I understand you might not be bothered with all the bollocks of self-promoting and networking and having to come up with some kind of signature sound, but you genuinely put to shame the majority of imposters who charge money for their talents week in, week out. |
You pretty much nailed it. There isn't really any room for a guy like me who just wants to play tunes and make people dance these days, at least not on that scale. I would, however, be interested in doing a John Peel-type radio show where I'd just play whatever good music around, regardless of genre, but I don't know if there's room for a show like that either in a world where music has become so fragmented and pigeonholed.

I appreciated the diversity of the music, as well as your crate digging abilities, but quite a lot of it wasn't to my tastes - mostly the moombathon/reggae-ish house at the beginning. Not to mention I didn't really get what you were trying to do with the sequencing. But I don't want to sound like a negative nancy - I absolutely loved the melodic techno in the middle of the set, and some of the acid techno was fun too (especially Confusion). |
What the hell is a "moombathon"?
Anyway, I personally think that the structure of the mix follows a very straight forward tension/release-formula that isn't very hard to "get", but I guess we'll see in this thread if people who listened to the mix feel more like you or more like SYS-J did in that regard.
