Sorry about this, guys. I just finished recording my mix now, but playing it back, the sound quality sounds like something out of an extremely poor internet radio stream. Not sure what's gone wrong here, might be something with the recording software I used. I'll look into it after I get some sleep, and then re-record as soon as I can this weekend.
This is actually my first mix ever on actual gear that I'll be sharing with people, and I was really happy with the take I had recorded as well. Pissed.
Well, looks like I won't be recording anything from my decks until I buy an external USB soundcard for my laptop. I won't be able to get hold of one of those for a little while, so I threw the mix together on my laptop instead. Been dragging this out long enough as it is. I'll check some of the other entries and deliver some feedback later this week.
Anyway, my sunday afternoons are usually boring as hell. Here's the sound of one that wasn't, much thanks to dark blonde hair and a handful of sustained Norwegian sunshine.

My review of this mix mutated wildly as the set went on, Jan. For the first fifteen minutes it sounded like you weren't a million miles from my set and I was really enjoying it. By halfway through I was still enjoying it, but I was wondering where it was going. By the time you went from 100k to Burnt Skin I felt like you'd successfully wrought an unlikely flow and vibe out of the flux of style and tempo.
And then the last three tracks happened. Oh dear. To my intolerant ears it constituted a sudden and unfortunate hand-brake turn out of the beatific Sunday afternoon atmosphere, straight into oncoming lanes of obnoxious blogtronica. It was all going so well, too.
And I thought I wasn't really into the Soundcloudsters...
In all seriousness, I do like music from that particular sphere when it is as stripped down and ultra melodic as this. I felt that these tunes weren't that offensive in terms of mutilated rap accapellas, stupid noises and overall squeaky cleanliness, but there you go. I don't think Shlohmo can really be lumped in with the blogosphere producers, though, as popular as he may be with the people who listen to that stuff. I feel he belongs more with guys like Flying Lotus, in that they have more complete artistic profiles and have a consistent physical discography.
Anyway, many thanks for giving this a listen. I'd say the fact that I can get you fully into the flow AND piss you off during one set is a pretty healthy sign as far as my mixing goes.
There was a track earlier in the set that had a very Brainfeeder vibe to it, to the extent I double-checked the tracklist. I'm guessing it was the Hubert Daviz cut.
At any rate, I'll be amazed if you don't find my set too homogeneous for your liking.
Hooray, finally finished! Actually recorded this last Saturday to accompany me on a drive to the Hamptons. A mix of deep, melodic house both old and new. Kinda fits a sleepy, rainy, yet relaxing afternoon.
Tracklist:
1) Lane 8 - Sunlight (Jody Wisternoff Remix)
2) The Korvids - Beach Coma (BlueAzure Remix)
3) Andrew Grant and Lomez - Satisfaction (Original Mix)
4) Nova Nova - Bewildered (Maas 1982 Dub)
5) Bent - As You Fall (Micah's Swollen Booty 2014 Remake)
6) Loco Dice - La Esquina
7) Silicone Soul – The Answer
8) DJ Sonikku - On The Rocks
9) Fort Romeau - Facing The Sea (Original Mix)
10) Apexape feat. Josh Barry - Joy and Pain (Original Mix)
Enjoyed that Luke, it went pretty much as I expected it to but fit the bill nicely. The flow was very smooth, no problems with the mixing and the music fit together well. That Nova Nova track was particularly lovely - I'm listening to La Chanson De Roland right now as a result. I can't believe that track is from 1999!

Basically same as above, though the Micah remix of that Bent track rubbed me the wrong way for some reason. Not necessarily an awful track, but it felt a bit out of place to me, or at least I didn't enjoy hearing it. The rest of it was all very enjoyable, though. A nice weekend listen indeed! Though you did use two tracks I was planning on using when my mix finally comes out
Ah sorry for the complete radio silence, life has been insane recently. I finally managed to get something together tonight, but Ill have to upload and share in the morning so technically miss the deadline but thats cool right Nick :
