anyways, yeah, i listened to your set, but dude, honestly, i can't reivew it... i mean i can certainly try, but that set is just totally different league from my own, that i really can't judge it...
the sound itself is sooo fucking different, i was blown away by it, honestly... like, i don't think i've ever heard a set like that, i've no idea what to clasify it as, and i dare anyone to try... simply put, i really liked the whole thing, although i'm not a big fan of vocals as you might've noticed, so that kind of threw me off a bit, but that is strictly a personal preference, and now that i think about it, i think you fit all vocally tracks rather well... i liked the different directions in which you took the set, kept things interesting thats for sure... the intro was very sweet indeed... i'd give you 10 for track selection and sequencing
the mixing, it was definitely pretty good... the bass changes were smooth and clean, although i heard some highhats going out of sync on one or two occasssions in about the middle of the mix i think, but that i find nothing wrong with at ALL, it happens to all the big names, and if i didn't hear it, i'd think there'd be something wrong with the way the mix was done... so i'd give you a 9/10 for mixing skills
now the 'journey' type feel i didn't get from this set, and thats what i usually look for when listening to a mix, and its my belief that every set should be a 'journey'... i know a lot of people don't believe in that and think there should be no journeys at all, just hard banging shit, etc... but i disagree, i think definitely it should be present, especially with this branch of electronica that we seem to be involved with...
so there you go, that would about sum it up for my review, not sure what else to say... if theres something specific you'd like me to look at, lemme know, but again, it's really hard for me to judge the mix since i'm not as versed into this specific branch of, 'whatever this seems to be', as you |
