This did pretty much what it said on the tin. Very TWILO, lots of stab-bang prog, but not too many obvious tracks. Mixing was smooth in places, rough in others (I don't think you need a write up of what went wrong during The Orb -> Ashtrax), programming was quite pacey for a prog set. But why, oh why, did you think it was acceptable to mix out of Set In Stone there?
Hahaha, what on that break down? Mainly because I forgot it was coming and I was already mixing in the Omid track, so I SLAMMED THAT SHIT UP.
Thanks man, I know these sets are not your favorites, and not all that fresh. I'm mainly just grinding some technical practice hours out while I try and get something together to hand off to some promoters in Atlanta (hopefully).
I should have something else in the coming weeks. Also, your set is still on my docket.

Well the programming was good. The last mix you did was pretty wonky in that respect, so that's an improvement. Knowing where and when to mix is a lot more important than necessarily keeping it tight. Apart from the big obvious fuck-ups, most of the mixing here would go down without anyone batting an eyelid on a dancefloor.
Yeah, a big problem for me has always been "knowing my tracks".

This. It was on Oakenfold's level
Good TWILO shit. Some of my favorite lesser known tunes from that era, though I've always preferred the vocal Omid to the instrumental. As Jack said, programming was good, mixing was fine.
More that I don't tend to pay enough attention to what's actually going on in tracks, and when I'm queueing I'm inclined to just GO GO GO BLEND instead of holding back and letting the outgoing tune get to a good point.
