I have some sad news for those of you that liked my mixes:
there will be no more DJ Dawn mixes in the near future.
I thought a lot about this decision and it didn't come easy because of the awesome feedback I was getting in the 'net.
But I noticed something is missing that is a true necessity for me to make more mixes: the URGE to mix.
I made the last mixes mainly because www.di.fm was expecting them and also because of the many mails I get everyday asking "when's your next mix coming out". But this should not be the only reason for mixing, should it?
Earlier, I made these mixes for myself and gave them to those that were interested. But it's not like that anymore. I don't really like the music that is coming out over the last years, not as I liked the music from 89-94. It's not that I think it's bad, but it doesn't mean the same to me and doesn't touch the same feelings.
So I decided to take a break and wait for things to come....as soon as I can't keep myself from mixing I will start again, but at this point it's not likely to happen.
Sorry
a huge "THANK YOU" you goes out to all the TAs that supported me over the last 2 years here and at DI!
cheers,
DJ Dawn
PS: if you're still missing some of my mixes, visit Apache's ftp at "apaches.serveftp.org/dj dawn" he has lots of my stuff and I will add some more.
*edit* some MOD please remove one of my double threads, I was having server problems when posting

I agree. I was just to scared to say it on these forums cause I would get flammed majorly. I still have alot of respect for all the artist out here and everything. But I also have lost my touch is mixing. I use to mix a new cd every week for like 4 years and now I do it 1-6 months. I dont know why. I have only told my friends about this. And I am comming out of the closet about this. I dont know what else to say. This is possibly the saddest day of my life. I also respect DJDawn for being honest. Goodluck DjDawn

That sounds quite selfish to me - why should anyone change their style even if he doesn't want to?

This is the worst news i've heard in a long while. Good thing your mixes are timeless n I can listen to them over and over. You're mixes will be missed. Thanks for all the great tuneage

Thank you, DJ Dawn
I just wanted to thank you for putting up mixes month after month. I got much of my inspiration from you and your mixes. They truly are some of the best mixes I have ever heard. I understand your reasons for taking a break, sometimes I feel the same way. I just hope you find that you still have a passion for DJing and creating awesome mixes. Thanks again.

Today is a very sad day in the TA/Trance community
Dawn, your mixes were an inspiration for me.
As you probably know I've also started mixing recently, and my style is also the fast German sound.
You inspired me in many ways and, like someone above said, your mixes are timeless, so we can still hear them and cherish them
And, I hope you get back to DJ'ing and not lose your skills in the meantime. We'll be waiting for more from you!
