BTW, here are some comments from Jay M
* 1 * Marius Linauskas
What a great mix! Beatmixing in this one is excellent. Very energetic mix with outstanding transitions.
Sometimes the volumes of the tracks differ. No further comment on harmonics.
To me the buildup is great and theres the final track is a good ending.
* 2 * DJ Rockabye
This mix is a nice energetic one. Pitched to a high tempo (maybe a bit too high). You seem to be in a rush a bit, tracks sometimes clash.
Excellent beatmixing. Next time, take your time and use less tracks. Buildup is good, nice climax in the Adagio.
* 3 * Inpieces
Beatmixing is good, here and there some mistake but everybody has 'm! Sometimes to my feel the next track kicks in a tad too aggressively.
Buildup of the mix is splendid. Starting with chilling proggy trance to more energy.
* 4 * DJ Kyo
Very good beatmixing. Transitions are good. Sometimes tracks seem to clash just a bit, sometimes they don't seem to fit together.
Very cool to choose all (semi-) amatuer tracks, but you can hear the quality of those tracks still lacks, so you need some courage. Buildup is good. Solid mix!
* 5 * DJ Ordep
Weeelll this is something else. Techy, progressive, trancy influences. Firm energetic mix. Buildup is pretty good, to more energy.
Sometimes I lose count in transitions, let's it down a bit. Here and there sme problems with transition harmonics. Overall cool mix.
* 6 * DJ Audun
Beatmixing is almost perfect in this mix, good work. Next track sometimes kicks in to hard for my feeling and here and there tracks clash.
Buildup is ok, but a bit confusing so to say. Starting of relaxing, monotone, then trance comes, gets harder, softer, harder... Good mix tho.
* 7 * DJ Pez
The beatmixing is good, but here and there a mistake. Same holds for harmonics. First transition sucks a bit (comes in very early), but the rest is pretty solid.
Buildup of the mix is ok, here and there some changes in style, some techy and then trancy sounds here and there. Still a good mix!
* 8 * Mycron
Very relaxing mix at the start. Maybe tracks don't fit together in one mix, it's quite a shift. Beatmixing has mistakes here and there but it's not disturbing.
Clashing here and there. Very modal but quite cool mix.
* 9 * DJ Nirom
Very booming start, a bit too booming. There's not a real buildup, but it all fits nicely. When you beatmix try to find out where those (e.g) 32 counts start and end with a crash or so cause some mixes don't feel too good because of errors there.
Overall pleasant to listen to.
* 10 * Major Johnson
Some mixes in here are really good, but some beatmixes go wrong. Mix is in quite same style all along. Buildup is good.
* 11 * DJ Commisad
Start is, sorry, pretty fucked up. Tempo of an ambient track (if there is any) is important when you mix in IMO. Beatmix let's it down a bit. Harmonics are good. Rest of buildup is good, from progressive to trance. Good one.
* 12 * DJ Kooliade
Hmm, from trance to progressive, I'd turn it all around! Rest is ok for buildup. Andain there is good, no matter what! Love it
Keep practicing beatmatching, overall it's nice work.
* 13 * DJ Sphere
Waving from harder to softer could be better. But we can disguise a certain buildup. Tracks standing alone are nice, except for track 2 I detest it (ok I won't take my opinion into account ). Some beatmatches are good, some aren't. Keep working on it m8!
I'm not too fond of the buildup here.
* 14 * The Mighty Cad
Tracks here are picked together randomly, could be better. Club, trance, hard, soft, not a real buildup. Needs some attention!
* 15 * DJ Baliulia
Buildup stands out from the rest in this one. A nice buildup from progressive up to Tiesto. Nice work on that.
Try to spend time on the beatmatching and counting, mixes will be far more interesting when you do that!
* 16 * Sonorescent
Some older tracks don't seem to fit between the newer ones, you seem to be rushed here and there, isn't good for this buildup.
Ow and stay of the pitch while in the middle of a track, it's annoying for the crwod, they really stop dancing when tempo changes! It's ok to shift slowly and slightly tho (unnoticable).
Keep practising beatmatching (some are pretty good tho) and making good transitions.
* 17 * DJ Infinity
Not a real buildup here, just a lot of trance, which isn't disturbing on its own! Buildup is the best part of the mix. Try to improve the beatmixing.
Some of the transitions are like
K C K C K C K C
C K C K C K C K
Where K is the kick and C kick and clap. The claps need to be on the same count! Good luck m8.
* 18 * DJ Psychotrance
I'm sorry to say I didn't like to listen to this mix. Most of them clash and combinations sound off key. Try to make the mixes shorter, Im sure there will be more energy to them then!
Ok there's nothing wrong with a mix of old tracks but there's no buildup whatsoever and I hate this Fridge guy (ok personal, doesn't count). Beatmatching is an issue as well.
Practice practice! Personal opinion: There are better 90s tracks around dude!
Thanks Sphere for organizing this and giving me time to get this all done. The original document was more detailed and in Dutch, so whenever people want more explicit comments, they can always ask.
Thanks to everybody who submitted the mixes. To me it seems it's been pretty close!
L8r!
