All right, two completely different mixes. This is looking good.

I meant all those genres together! (As my typical Sunday afternoon playlist appears) Nobody wants to hear Led Zeppelin and Xerox & Illumination in the same mix

Are you sure about that? Depending on how you do it... I've considered playing Miles Davis and Oliver Lieb in the same mix, before

What Is Progressive Anyways? [Progressive House Classics] (November 2019)

Mystery, I liked your mix overall, except the opening track does make it a bit difficult to actually listen to when hungover Like some other people said, I found the mixing rather abrupt, which was mostly just shocking because you're normally smoother. The flow/programming was good, though. Not exactly my favourite genre, but I enjoyed it nonetheless.

Jack, this is probably my favourite mix of yours in some time - since Rapid Transit 3, most likely. Perfect mellow melodic techno, in my book. No real comments to make, other than this was absolutely great.

Nick, this is definitely one of my favourite mixes of yours ever. There was one or two vocals I didn't particularly like, but the majority were good, and I really liked what you did with the flow/programming. One question, which is what's your source for the Funky DL track? It sounds differently than my recording, more hollow or echo-y or something. Great stuff, though - I do love jazzy hip-hop, which we don't get enough of around here. Shame Ted Promo stopped putting them out / left this place. Anyways, really enjoyable stuff.

Setting the bar high, you three

In all fairness to myself, that was only three months ago.

But thank you.

Thanks, Joseph! (Do you prefer Joe?) One of the things I also liked most about this mix is the flow. I was afraid the instrumentals at the beginning would detract from the hip-hop and it would feel disjointed but I actually think it set the stage instead, framing the hip-hop and the overall vibe of the mix as a sorta jazzy chilled-out atmosphere. I was also worried that the Nas/Mobb Deep/Black Star tracks (being slightly more "gangsta" than the ones with Japanese-inspired jazzhop beats) wouldn't fit but I feel like they actually did.

The Funky DL track is directly from Hyde Out Production's First Collection and it sounds the same as similar copies on Spotify/YouTube and such, so I'm not sure quite what version you have.

Thanks for the listen! Good luck on yours, I look forward to it!

I really don't know why those random noises are there at the beginning of the song. They don't fit at all.

It's kinda funny - I'm really into this kind of sound, yet I've never really listened to it. That's why I've never heard any of these tracks so I don't even know which ones are supposed to be older.

It all blends very nicely together. So much so, in fact, that I kind of zoned out somewhere around the halfway point. Though considering the theme of the mix, I don't consider that a bad thing at all.

It seems like we're just making a hip hop mix no problem.
