hey thanks for the kind words.

I am totally diggin this mix. The tempo is perfect, talk about easy listening. This makes me want to kick it on the beach actually, with some headphones and a corona. :) I am not familiar with these tracks, and after breaking down all the mixes, one was missing! Nice job! Ya know it's a sweet mix when that happens.
Ok I believe the first mix was the male vocal into the dreamy female track with the dark acid baseline (approx 2:17). If that is the case, ing awesome mix.
The second track is great, the fact that it is very attention grabbing at the beginning, and slowly mellows out towards the end.
The second mix (8:41) is well timed by phrase. The mix is in key and the transition is super smooth. I did notice a bit of floating beats at about 8:52, but otherwise very slick.
The third track is super dreamy, very nice flow, and a great transition into 4/4 as well, almost didn't even notice really.
Mix three (16:29) is subtle, and smooth. Levels are super sweet, absolutely no floating beats that I could hear. The new baseline is a nice replacement for the outgoing synths from the previous track. The kick seems a little more aggressive, so although we are getting deeper it is getting more intense too. Bring it on!!!!!
Track four is fer sure dark and mysterious, and really picks things up.
Mix four (23:33) is a little choppy, the tracks go together but seem a little out of sourts with each other. Levels great good flow, momentum maintained i thought.
Track five is awesome, super teky, kinda breaky. nice.
Mix five (28:40) is quick and pumpin. track six adds a load of rythms to track five before the mix drops out into the intro pause of track six. Bass from track five is cut kinda sharp at 28:14.
Track six is pretty pumpin, lots of busy clapps and highhats. This would be a killer track to dance to. Mix is fer sure building. This track has some serious psy elements to it, the sweeping effects, acid-line type stabs.
Mix six (33:48) is a nice side-step into breaks. I like that it is abrupt, it suits the mood fo the mix at this point to push the mix. It did sound like is was floating a bit before it dropped, but the drop was sweet.
Track seven is a perfect match to keep the intensity of the mix up, busy but deep, with a pumpin bass line keeping the kicks full. I am a sucker for messed up vocals. :toocool:
Haunting ans dreamy.
Mix seven (41:24) is quite the sound scpae, a wee bit out of key, the old melody and the new sweeping pads, old melody drops out kinda quick, maybe that mix could have started sooner? It was quick and the new baseline is awesome, a refreshing sound, keeps the mix dynamic even within it's haunting depth.
Track eight is a shift in mood slightly, a little deeper, mix seems to be winding down slowly.
Well I hope like hell I got the mixes right, after all that. I am going to listen to it again, but as far as I can tell those are my thoughts!

hey thanks for the nice review.
you got the tracks right. i put the tracklist as a tag on the mp3 if you want to check the tracklist.
yeah i always have a problem with my mixs floating a bit. and the fact that i had to record this mix with one technic and my friends staton str8 60 didn't help (my other technic was in the shop). the stanton is quite a picky turntable.
i'm really pleased you liked the mix. |
