Since all of my TA friends are in this forum, here is a link to the DJ promotion forum, curious what you guys think of this mix

Two things:

1) Playlists both sell the mix and give artist's credit where credit is due and no one wants to be bothered to have to PM just to get a playlist that you could have posted, up front, anyway. I'm not crapping on you as much as I'm making you aware of the sensibilities of the forum you're posting in.

2) While I kind of understand the point of posting an undownloadable track in the Producer's Promotion Forum, chances are your friend's mix isn't ever going to be for sale. While it's a small injustice to sound as well as the listener, to be able to listen to someone's seven minute tune and pick through it with a critical ear, it's quite another through an hour's worth of sound-cloud embed.

Again, I'm not harshing on you but warning you that you might get a little heat for how you've presented this.

Apologies, don't really know how this works in the DJ Promotion forum, never posted a mix myself before. Will ask him if he can make it downloadable,

I take it you're not familiar with how Jon the Dentist went over, here then?


No need to apologize, at all. Some people will listen to the embed and not be bothered with it but I'll only listen to downloads, primarily because embeds sound harsh - even on my less than stellar speakers.

won't ever listen to a dj mix where the artists are not credited.

But anyways, the mix is well it is a dj mix like every other mix with nothing wrong with it but nothing great with it. I also never understood why djs end their set with a filler. Had to force myself to listen. I suppose that would mean i found it boring.

The thing with dj mixes is that they mean nothing. You could not even know how to dj and do a better mix in ableton. So not really sure what the point is. Track selection is obvious. The mix plays it safe. And the dj broke the cardinal rule of mixes by having the refrain play twice in the first track. The first few tracks should come quick and build to a track , maybe not an anthem but something memorable and play that one all the way thru.

my rating is 5/10

Edit to add:

I'm kind of sensing that this might be something other than a multi-artist compilation mix but...

You end with something boring so the drunks calm down a bit and don't break anything on the way out.

The thing I don't understand is people who want to be DJ's. Is it really your dream to play someone else's tracks to a crowd? I don't get it.
