Fuck man, I just realized I never gave you the track by track I promised. I've been very busy lately at work and then putting my own set together. But I'll make sure I write you a proper review by the end of the day

no big deal. as long as you listened. maybe learned something and picked up some things for yourself i'm good to go.

edit: my main goal with these mixes is to share the music i like with friends and acquaintances. (is what i'm getting at)

everyone is all about it. lol.

i should've just mixed it end to end 11 times. ha ha

OK, here's a long overdue review at last!

As everyone has said, your opening track is superb. Dark and classy as fuck! Sounds like something that could have easily been on the GUs or yore

I really liked the transition into "Amity", the way you blended the space sounds of "KMS" into the melody was ace. A slightly lighter track but still very dark and classy just like the opener and keeps the mood perfectly. I even hear some tribal elements.

Another great transition, and a subtle raise in mood. Really like this one, pretty sure I've heard it one a set before but can't really trace it. Very nice track selection so far...I'm calling it "Deep Prog"

Yeah! Love this track, I'm a fan of "All things Discoteca" and this definitely goes on their darker side. Definitely one of their best releases to date. In your set it works wonderfully, to raise the mood once again, this time more evidently. This is the point where you begin to bang it, IMO.

The transition into "From the Lab" was awesome, so much stuff going on and comes out sounding great. It works nicely as a bridge leading to the best track in your set.

FUUUUUCKKKKKKK YEEEEEEAAHHHH!!!! I absolutely love "Lion Steps", nice one! Max Graham dropped it one time I saw him live. Completely blew the dancefloor away.

You kinda bring the mood down a bit with the Kaliber track and immediately get it banging with "After Shock". Although, this is the only point where I have something to "complain" about your set. Nothing wrong, just that this track feels very dull for me. Just me and my taste though

Nice transition into "Battle Scars", sounds like you're going back into stuff like the one you used at the beginning, but with a faster pace. Me likes it! Again, nice mixing into "Drive" which I think begins to slow things down towards your finale which is something I did with "Dark Light" as well

Another great transition, and we are now at the last track of the set. I'm a big fan of Eelke Kleijn, and this track is no exception. Nice selection for a closer.

Great set Denys, very good mixing, programming, and track selection. In reply to your previous post, I did take a lot for myself from this mix. Your comments on my own mix added with this set have been of enormous help for me regarding the mixing. It's like a perfect example of what you meant there by "mixing earlier". I see you are able to match the melody of the incoming track perfectly with the moment before the outgoing track goes into the outro beats and better maintain the energy/mood. This might be basic stuff for everyone, but I really have no friends who DJ around me to exchange tips, and stuff.

Eagerly awaiting your next one.

good shit dude, glad you liked it and also glad to help out any way i can. realistically you'll learn a lot by listening to other ppls sets and seeing how they do it.

if you want to pick up some mixing tricks, or just different ways of blending shit, listen to jay's (elfreak) stuff. it's droning techno music sometimes and you might get bored, but transition wise he's one of the better on TA.

and as for an upcoming mix, i'm gearing up to do it this weekend. i was waiting for today (payday) so i can get a couple of tracks i've been eyeing and include them, should have it up by sat or sun.

just keep plugging away at your shit too. if you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask myself, and i'm sure others are just as willing to give advice.
