I will check this out despite that I am not quite a drum n bass fan. The only names I liked through the years were TeeBee and some Future Prophecies. So it's not surprising that I know none of the names here. :p
I will post a review when I give it a proper listen!
Cheers! :) |

Listening:
No intro, straight to bussiness :D. Nice funky stuff so far!
Loving the track at 25 min mark. What it is? :)
The transition to the next track is lovely as well as the track itself. Very nice!
At 31 mark the track isn't really my cup of tea but it's nothing disturbing.
The track that kicks in at 41 min is also very very good. :)
I like the happy feel of the track at 51 min mark. Makes me smile. Actually what I am talking about... So far the whole mix makes me smile. :p
In conclusion I must say that I am quite impressed. :) Thanks for this awesome mix! |

:) track at 25 mins is the remix of grace. At 41mins, is daylight creeps in, another of my current favourites in this genre.
51 minutes sees Laos - Wish Upon. I love the bassline in it personally, it's quite pounding yet tuneful. I agree on the smiling vibe though, I think with summer approaching here, i'm listening to more & more of this stuff, it's feel good, and usually quite simple. The formula may get repetitive at times but i've not hit that mark yet personally & am looking forward to more great releases i know are coming out next month :D Thanks for the review. Will get around to yours asap, got 1 hour into the mix & had to break just cos it's distracting my mind too much ;) that's a good thing, except when trying to learn something :toothless |

Much improved from your last mix-from the technical to the TL to the tone. I agree, a definate shimmery summer mix and the melodies all worked with each other, rather than against. Everyone can use some light, airy DnB. Even if they don't like DnB, the tunes you've chosen (as was as in your last mix) are perfect segways to cross into the daaaaaaark siiiiiiiiiiidee muuuuuuaahhaha MUUUUUAHAHAHHAA.
Ok really, my only concern is there is no build, no progression. From track one-Matrix & Futurebound to the finale-it just made it all seem flat. And because of this, nothing really stuck out. Maybe you could incorporate other genres or subgenres, rather than just liquid to make everything less one-dimensional. Play around, relax. :)
Thanks for sharing. |

thanks for the detailed review. I totally understand your points, truth is, I don't know how to structure a set of this style. I have a few jump up or classic jungle tracks I could throw in, but I really don't know how to place them in a full set. It's more a case of i'm mixing tracks I like lots, than them being in a good order, sometimes I'll think the transitions have a purpose for progression but a lot of the time it is a case of just going from one to another. It's weird because in the jungle sets i grew up on in the early 90s, everything is so start/stop because of it being live, you can have a tune pulled back two, maybe three times and i think because of that, i've never learned a good progression in any of the genre :) thanks for listening again though, it's nice to know some people on here have a taste that I can almost cater to ;) |

I do not typically listen to DNB but I listened to this and was pleasantly surprised. It was very enjoyable, all of the transitions were very nice. I do agree with the earlier points that there was not a lot of structure to the mix but I still found it enjoyable. And I thought the intro track was good, it set the tone for the type of dnb that would be played throughout the mix.
I have been a big Not Over Yet fanboy ever since I was introduced to this song in Oakie's essential mix world tour so I really enjoyed hearing a dnb take on this track. It was good but I still think the Matt Darey remix is my favorite. :p |

Ian, hey sa, the tracklist has some weird characters. What keyboard are you using?
Or maybe it is me? I don't know how these things work... |
