It's been a year, but I've finally put together a new mix. A seriously unreasonable amount of money was spent at beatport in constructing this, so I hope you enjoy it. Otherwise, I might cry. No tracklist just yet, I want this to be enjoyed blind, as proof that I don't just play mouldy tracks from the same artists over and over. Hopefully there are some nice surprises in here. The oldest song in the mix is from '05, and the other 28 are from '08 or newer.

We missed you mate! There's even a recent thread in the c0r asking about your whereabouts. Good to have you back. I'll get this on my MP3 player tonight.

I got that filthy thing removed months ago; couldn't handle it.

I'm in. Will be nice to hear you play something that isn't prog-psy.

Although 386mb for the .rar? I know you're a stickler for sound quality, but a slightly smaller file for those of us who aren't would be nice.

Here are the notes I made while listening:

quote:

00.38: EQing error, this track came in too loudly and the bass is now distorting. 1.02: Am currently bored by this change of direction. 1.15: We're still in a flavour of techy prog I don't really care for. 1.20: This is more like it. I'd say you could have cut about 30 minutes of music out around the hour mark and this would have flowed smoothly without that boring tech section. 1.50: Heavy damage, although this track has pulled me back from the edge of boredom. 2.28: I've really lost my interest about now. The trancey section started out promising but quickly became a procession of lightweight tunes. 2.31: Bit of an EQing error there, this new kick-drum is supermassive compared to the previous track. 2.37: More interesting again now. 2.54: This track is pretty forgettable. This mix is going to have to go somewhere special to have a good finale. 2.58: Oh dear.

Basically put, this mix meandered back and forth between interesting sections and very boring sections. The opening half an hour was pretty good, then it lost me and that was the pattern. I'd have preferred to see an hour of the chaff cut out of this. Three hours is a big number for a set intended to be heard at home, and it's very, very difficult to make a set that works as home-listening for so long.

I would like to see a tracklist though - there are plenty of great tracks in the good sections and I didn't recognise any of them. Could you PM me?

Thanks for the honest feedback. Admittedly I did find this rather challenging, but I wanted to try something of this length. I agree that it wasn't entirely successful, but I wasn't about to scrap something I've spent a month or so working on. I have other problems with this than what you raised though. I like the techier section, and I'm sure there are other people who will enjoy that.

It's unsurprising that you thought the mixing wasn't flawless. My previous sets have been completed on an expensive pair of KRK studio monitors. I moved to Berlin a few weeks ago, so this thing was done on a 9" netbook with an built-in soundcard and pair of headphones, which was an interesting downgrade. That said, your comment about the 38 minute mark wasn't correct - that track's bass is just like that, there was no layering of tracks at that point.

Your last comment made me laugh: "Oh dear." I don't expect many people to like the last 30 minutes, but that's why I kept it short. In the end though, the fact that you want to see the tracklist means I was at least partially successful. PM sent.
