I love hearing how different people respond to music, in particular what they actually do while listening, be that a commute, relaxing with a book, having it on while getting ready for a night out...whatever it is hearing the context makes it so much more personal. Listening whilst doing yoga must be the best context yet though! The music I dig out for these mixes was always chosen as being complimentary to a contemplative state, of which yoga most certainly is. |
Probably about 90% of the time I listen to a mix while I'm working. The other time I'll listen to mixes on a long road trip, flight, or during a nice brisk run.
But for your Windmill Sessions mixes, I choose to exercise very slowly. Yoga is an interesting form of exercise. Incredibly challenging and taxing on the body but highly useful for muscle strength, flexibility and durability. It also helps with your inner peace and all that nonsense. Before the mix I was laying around feeling worthless and didn't want to do anything all day. I saw this posted, so I lit a candle and put it on. My routine is only about 45 minutes to an hour, so after about halfway through your mix I was sweating like Patrick Ewing in the 4th quarter, and decided to enjoy the rest of it laying in my bed. After it was over, I was ready to start my day and I did all my various chores and enjoyed the rest of the weekend. I felt incredible.

Still find it awesome imagining that other people across the globe share a passion for beautiful electronic music and look forward to each posting. Like I said, it means a huge amount to me. |
A lot of times (I'm guilty of this too), people will leave a review that is short and sweet. "It was (good|bad), Track X was awesome, Track Y felt out of place, and Track Z reminded me of Memory M." The truly excellent mixes will stand out and affect your own personal tastes, potentially even how you listen to music. I know from being active in the DJ promo forums here on TA that my tastes have broadened and sharpened to a point that I've been wanting for a long time. I think as long as we keep doing what makes us happy, we will continue to push our boundaries in music and progressively get better and better.
I can't wait to hear your next offering.
