I don't think I've ever listened to a tribute mix...

I think the problem is more that your taste is totally lame.

Usually, these mixes are either a tribute to an artist with a very samey back catalogue (that Matthew Dear mix looks like a classic case of this), or the DJ doesn't know/have tunes to pick from the back catalogue to play a varied set that actually showcases the full range of what the artist has done (like an Oliver Lieb-tribute set with nothing but Lieb/LSG-tunes).

As long as you avoid both of these issues, tribute mixes are fine in my book. I considered doing one for Tetsu Inoue, but decided against it for now, as I don't have enough of his back catalogue to justify it.

Is it Funk D'Void?

There was a tribute mixes thread in the DJ forum I think. Loads of people did different kinds, producers and labels.

They can seem a bit easy, when in reality they are pretty hard due to having to be exceptionally better than the conventional set in order to not epically fail imo. I have yet to hear a single artist tribute mix that did not feel boring and sameish after track 3 or 4, but if you can find a way to make it work then do it.

I like one that Mikey Mike did on PvD. Lots of tunes that I havent heard before, instead of just banging out the classics.

I prefer tribute sets that showcase the talent that a producer has. Usually that means going through various aliases to put something together, but not always

So it took three attempts and relatively no sleep today, but I think it's done. Going to listen tonight at work, if it works, I'll up it when I'm home.

And I figured a LOT of people would assume FDV... you'll just have to wait and see.
