Hi, can you explain why you did this? I'm purely interested in what made you make the decision. |

Gladly :)
The first mix was done in Ableton because no matter what I tried, I could not for the life of me get "Frandga" to mix the way I wanted to, and the same could basically be said for the final mix.
The middle was done the way it simply because I love playing on real decks, and I don't think the mix would represent me if I didn't have the vast majority of it spun live.

| I finally listened to the whole set and I liked it indeed. I do agree however with what others have said about it not really "picking up" or whatever. The energy level did seem a bit too flat throughout. But as always, I love your slecetion of more melodic tracks, and your mixing is still butter steez. Enjoyable set overall. |

Thanks for giving it a listen m8 - I hope now that a few folks have noted that the pace of this set is more chill than anything else some people who've to listen to it go into it knowing it's not really a set designed to ever really "pick up."
Just groovy, hypnotic techno and house. :) |

Just trying to find different kinds of music to listen to in the forum, and I must say that was the most boring set of tracks I have ever heard.
Must. Look. Elsewhere. |

Terrific, highly valuable criticism. You have a good night too. |

Wanted to hear different genres
Picked out your set since it ran 3 pages (yeah, well)
Didn't like the songs at all. Clearly a good decision on my part to avoid such music all this while.
Mixing wise, I didn't notice any major errors or inconsistencies, and since I haven't heard too many sets of this kind, I would think my judgement of 'not going anywhere' may not be taken too seriously.
Criticism. Constructive or not.

Even this is far better than "most boring set I've ever heard" - so thanks for clarifying. |
