(For those that say NO REVIEW YET.. i simply cant find the damn files i wrote.. sry guys... i'll post them if i find them)

This comment applies to pretty much everyone. You guys should listen to some of the Bobina mixes on Di.fm and see how they vary tracks throghout the mix, how the styles changes and makes the mix so much more interesting.

This was a non-live competition, which means you have a gazillion tries to make that transition right. DO IT!.. get it right. I hated to take marks off on the beatmatching. If you did a live mix that was purely your choice and i did not give those people any special consideration. In fact all beatmatching problems were punished severely. I was really dissapoined with some mixes. Some had awesome track selection but beatmatching and harmonics really killed the overall score.

What i noticed that overwhelmingly people are mixing progressive, house-like and chillout songs. I understand that these genres are much easier to mix and get smooth transition than trance and psychedelic for example. But comon, experiment, show me something different. The first 10 mixes i listend to were all nearly same style. Another things is that some of the better mixes have amazing 1st half and then the talent runs out. I think that when you mix, mix in stages. Do 1st half of the mix, listen to it a couple of times then let a week go by, then do the 2nd half. You'll see much better results.

Thanks to everyone who participated. I had tonns of fun listening to these. I even bought some vinyls based on the songs i heard

Good luck to everyone next time!

Thanks for the comments man! I always love it when the judges give specific comments--helps a lot!

Congratulations to everyone who participated!!

And just FYI, I actually did this mix live--I ran out of time and had to get it in before the deadline, so I just went ahead and mixed it so I wasn't expecting a very good score.
