Downloaded this a while ago and just got around to listening to it - it's a good set, there are loads of wicked tracks on there and the mixing's all spot on.
That Retox tune is awesome!!!
And hearing Big Sky yet again usually makes me want to mame small animals, but I didn't even feel the need to reach for a kitten this time.
It went a little bit floatier than I'm normally into in the middle, with loads of vocal stuff but I thought it worked and I actually found myself quite enjoying it :)
My one criticism would be use of master tempo - calling it "Laptop Mixing Sessions" I'm assuming you mixed it on Ableton or something? There are a few tracks where the pitch correction is really obvious (In A State really stood out), I'm wondering if it was set to beat/transient mode rather than complex mode or something for a few tracks? (assuming it was Ableton you used). Not a massive issue but it did degrade the sound quality somewhat, which was slightly annoying when listening to it.
All in all it was very good - I wish more people would post 2 hour mixes on here, as I listen to a lot of Essential Mixes I'm used to having something on for that long while I work and shorter mixes kinda feel like there isn't enough space to really try and make things varied without it sounding rushed. |
