Hells yes. Been wondering when you'd put out another mix. Looks delicious.

This made me see things and feel things differently for an apportioned amount of time. I felt things feelingly and it shook my shins inshinerately. The hairs on my inner thighs made out with each other viscerally in the bunny hop madness I sauntered about with for these seventy nine minutes and fourteen seconds.

My flaps and gills were wholly ready, my mind untrained and yielding only to the mesmerizing manifest destiny of the beats and their path with which you aligned and harmonized. My penis was rupturing at the appropriate parts; when the vocals hit my youth deposits it caused them to leak and surge forth with valuable spores I quickly and readily absorbed, forcefully and helped to correct my scoliosis. Turning it into a healthy and shining libido.

This, and this is only. The only thing I need.

f'rl, flow was tight. Tracks were nifty (despite my already known opinion on that type of rock ) and some of them went really well together.

Feeling each other for their corresponding notes.

Nice one! Grabbing this now.

And by 'this' I meant my crotch.

Thanks Adam, and thank you all for checking it out.

Honestly, the technical aspect of this set was mostly fine, the one exception being the transition from Leftfield to Orbital. I'm not sure what the game plan was on that transition - when both tracks were beatless it was working harmonically but you held it for a baffling length of time.

Other than that the mixing was fine, and accomplished that mix-tape objective of the series very well. With the minimal amount of actual mixing you created a cool flow and made the transition from alt rock to progressive house make sense. You can hear the evolution of your taste across 80 minutes, which is a really cool touch, whether it was intentional or not.

The tunes were mostly familiar, and included a number of my own favourites from some all-time classic albums: Entroducing, Brown Album, Leftism and This Binary Universe. One band I hadn't heard before was God Is An Astronaut, and I really enjoyed that track.

Overall, you've nailed it.

Thanks man.

That flubbed transition was just basically a fuckup. Misjudged the breakdowns, and at that point I'd rerecorded so many times to fix other things I just left it, since that run through was my best.

I was indeed attempting to make that transition from the alt rock I was listening to when I first got into music to the stuff I got into over the years, so I'm glad that showed a bit in the mix. Doing this was a lot of fun, I really enjoyed it, going back through a lot of older stuff and kind of reevaluating where I've come from. Thanks for letting me do it.

Oh, and God Is An Astronaut is great. Check out All Is Violent All Is Bright and The End of The Beginning. Their stuff can feel a little samey at times, but I really dig what they do. Would love to catch them live.

At The Drive In? Mars Volta? Looks nice Austin. Sinking my fully enamelled choppers into this one.

Austin this looks absolutely outstanding. Even though I was never HUGE into ATDI/Mars Volta, this is just full of great music. Definitely some memorable tracks in here, can't believe you dropped some Deftones! We seem to have had similar tastes growing up, and it looks to me like you approached the concept similar to how I think I would. Gonna give this a listen asap.

Its a shame because I often overlook this thread due to it being stickied. I need to catch up on several of these.

OMG OMG A NEW MIX

This was really awesome man, I enjoyed it a ton

I wasn't familiar at all with any of the songs until Song Of Life (and I've actually never heard that remix before, just the original and the remixes Sasha & Digweed used), but for the most part they were all fantastic. Wasn't a fan of the first couple, as they were a bit hard and "angsty" (I can't think of a better description) for my likings, but after that it really took off.

I need to look into some of those artists (once I figure out which song was which ). Also need to check out This Binary Universe. Brown Album is amazing as is that Bedrock remix. I Have Put Out The Light is one of my all time top10 favorite songs, and if Jack ever asked me to do one of these mixes I would have definitely used it as well

As Jack said, for the most part all the mixing was fine. That Leftfield/Orbital mix was a biiit hard on the ears, though, haha. Programming wise it was really great, imo. Great job of showing how your tastes have evolved over the years.

Really enjoyed this set man. I'll be listening to it a few more times to try to figure out which of those tracks I was unfamiliar with I want to look into more.

Cheers

So I went to see Leftfield and they opened with this version of Song Of Life, extended to epic proportions, and just at that point where the beat slams in some fucking Scottish girl starts asking me for drugs.

Thanks Lews, glad you enjoyed it. The beginning section is definitely not going to be many peoples cup of tea, and I've pretty much moved past that type of music entirely, but I couldn't exclude it. That is all the stuff I grew up on, for better or worse, and I'm sure it's influenced my tastes to a large degree. I really didn't start getting into electronic music truly until about 3 years ago, so I'm still a large noob in that regard.

Jack, that is awesome. I'd love to see Leftfield live, but sadly, I doubt they'd be coming to this side of the pond, and definitely not really in my area at all. Still glad I got to catch Orbital though, was really really mega even if they didn't pull too much of a crowd at Ultra (what a horrible fucking festival overall).

Dumb bimbos asking for drugs is hilarious. The first show I ever went to some chick who looked completely off her face stumbled up to us and looked at me in the most endearing way possible and was just like "baby, you got any pills?".

I laughed in her face and ignored her completely until she walked away.
