Just finished listening to this mix.
I enjoyed it : good flow and energy and interesting and diverse track choice even if some of them are just only great dancefloor stormer (no pbm with that).
I wasn't familiar with any of the artists.
Really liked at 2/3 of the mix when it went somewhat like older hard-house. Some tracks beg to be mixed with some technooo :)
In the end: not the mix of the year for me but very entertaining. |

thanks a lot... at least you got that they are dancefloor stormers! I definitely wanted to take some of those really banging tunes that just work the dancefloor and put them into your house, car or ipod... tried to make a summer dance mix without getting too cheesey...
thanks for the comments :) |

sensible spontaneity
serious fun
heavy lightness
are a few things that come to mind when i listen to this mix
very cool tracks that I would not have listened to otherwise. Reminds me of last weekend, the nyc locals had their fifth outdoor festival "festivus" on the great hill in central park. very ad hoc and loose feeling about the whole shindig.
this mix has that quality too.
it's like supermodels having a water balloon fight
sounds like you had fun doing it. it sounds live, which is cool.
no real comments on the mixing - definitely a different style than my mixing though. There's a lot of fading and pushing tracks in here, and I mix in increments, layering. I admit I mix more like this live, it's more suited towards entertaining a crowd because you can let them know when things are changing. You do that here, building anticipation and then giving a good payoff with quality tracks.
loving the hip house. Actually the mixing style reminded me more of older mixing styles from the hip house era which was cool. The Sasha 1989 hacienda set comes to mind..another damn fun set
it's got a good balance of hands up in the air carefree feelings and deep dance your ass off vibes
good fake-me-out filtering at 1:09:40 or so. That would have gotten me live haha |

Don't have the mix in front of me at 1:09:40, but if there's an effect there it's probably the tune. Thanks for the comments, especially "it's like supermodels having a waterbaloon fight"... I want to use this on a flyer in working on! As for the mixing style, I did it sequenced on ableton but it's most defintely a representation of how I mix live... Thanks for the objective review and outlook on the mix :) Yeah there's no doubt your mixing style and track selection is much different than mine... we both have muxh different styles. Also good to hear I exposed you to some different stuff, that's always something we're all trying to do so it's good to hear when it works. |

| I listened to 2/3rds of your mix and I got bored of it. I liked the first track and one towards the end, but it's just a lot of the same boring house you find at the club. No offense. |

not trying to be a suck up or anything, but i have to disagree. i go out an average of 4 nights a week and this mix is pretty different from the normIMO
the dominant sound right now is either big room electro and prog 'space disco' like sebastien leger - saturn, or the dark minimal tech ala radioslave remix of trentemoller moan
what clubs do you go to? |

Hey no problem man... I guess if you don't like house this mix isn't going to change that :p |

i'll have to agree with JP on this one (or the guy just really doesn't enjoy good house muzak).
:clown:
i'm not one for breaking down mixes in detail for reviews sake, but this is definitely a quality mix. i like the overall package - no ff necessary, and i can't say that for too many mixes out there.
well done gregor!
(now let's get on that exchange program!) ;) |
