To be honest, it's really neither one, and beyond that, I really don't have a set way I approach promo sets like this.
I guess the simplest way I can explain my "process" is that I prioritize cohesive flow above all else. Usually there are a handful of tracks I'd really like to fit in, but they don't always work out.
I generally try to start by building a project specific "crate" (for lack of a better term) or library where I go through the music I've been playing a lot the past month or two and find the stuff that is going to feel most relevant to the overall flow I want to achieve.
Then I go through old stuff to try and dig up things I may not have had a chance to play with yet - add that, and then start programming the set, which I usually at the very least initially work out in some sequencing program to get a very general idea of the flow of tunes independent of mixing, and finally decide on a tracklist or two, take notes on phrasing, pitch, etc., mix/record, and proceed to repeat with minor changes in mixing or tracklist until I'm happy with it.
Wow, that was way, way too much of an explanation - thanks for grabbing this Frenchie, it's always appreciated.
