You have incredible taste in music. I'd heard, like, one of those tracks before listening to this mix, but now I wish I owned them all even though this isn't a genre I typically listen to a lot of. I have to admit, minimal isn't my thing, so I almost didn't check out this at all, but I knew I was going to love this mix about halfway through the second track.
The intro is decidedly chill, but just groovy enough to really hook me. Of all the DJ's on TA, I think you know how to build a set the most. It's so gradual, but each tune seems to be an organic extension of the track before it, they flow together so seamlessly. From 'Use Your Arms' to 'Axiom'? Holy crap, I listened to that transition like six times before moving on with the rest of the mix. Brilliantly set-up. And there was only more of the same as the set progressed. Most amateur DJ's suffer from losing momentum at transitions... phasing a track in or out too far after or before the peak. But you've really mastered the timing on that.
The vocal at 16:00 is surreal... not sure what track it is, but it sounds vaguely like Emiliana Torrini, who I *heart*. In fact, all of the vocals were tastefully used. I don't like entirely vocal or entirely non-vocal sets... so you struck a fine balance for me. I got lost with the tracklist at one point though... what's playing at 46:00? The Stereofunk track? It's a stormer!
Your production -- there's a very Sasha-Belfunk type kick in there somewhere and I like it. I don't know that this is the perfect track to drop here, as the transition was more forced than some of your others... but I like the track nonetheless. Fun title too!
All in all, I thoroughly enjoyed this mix, much more than any other that I've heard from you -- and I still have like 3 other previous mixes on my hard drive! Will def. be on the lookout for future efforts!
Cheers!
