Awesome.
Also, RE: The artwork. I got a PM asking about it - it's a combination of the following two pieces from Ralph Steadman:
I've wanted to do my own kind of Steadman based HST homage for quite some time, just finally got the inspiration to do it today.

Yay! Need new music for the Airplane!
No deadmau5? sign me up for 5 of these babies. I'm really feeling the art work!
Do you ever have a set amount of tracks that you WANT to put in? Or you just try to keep it under a certain time limit? |

To be honest, it's really neither one, and beyond that, I really don't have a set way I approach promo sets like this.
I guess the simplest way I can explain my "process" is that I prioritize cohesive flow above all else. Usually there are a handful of tracks I'd really like to fit in, but they don't always work out.
I generally try to start by building a project specific "crate" (for lack of a better term) or library where I go through the music I've been playing a lot the past month or two and find the stuff that is going to feel most relevant to the overall flow I want to achieve.
Then I go through old stuff to try and dig up things I may not have had a chance to play with yet - add that, and then start programming the set, which I usually at the very least initially work out in some sequencing program to get a very general idea of the flow of tunes independent of mixing, and finally decide on a tracklist or two, take notes on phrasing, pitch, etc., mix/record, and proceed to repeat with minor changes in mixing or tracklist until I'm happy with it.
Wow, that was way, way too much of an explanation - thanks for grabbing this Frenchie, it's always appreciated.

Oh man... I totally love this set!
I was thinking of doing one for my vacation next week but Im gonna go with this one instead :D
A couple of the tunes were known to me so those were good to hear :)
Mixing on this is stellar all the way through, but the programming and flow is defo as good if not better
I definitely agree with nefardec, was really cool to hear you take it the opposite way of what I thought was coming :)
Amazing job imo, and I will report back with what my friends thought of it after my vacation haha ;) |

Hahaha - that is awesome, Glannie! Thank you so much for the kind words - really feels good to hear the kinds of feedback I've gotten from you and Adam, especially because I really thought that this mix was particularly self-indulgent of me (even moreso than my sets usually are :p).
And I'm assuming the known tunes in there were known to you for a reason (;)) - thanks again for all your help these past few months. Wouldn't be anywhere near where I am without it.
:)
I'm glad to see others enjoy it - it's like montana said, I just love finding good new music and sharing it with people. |

Blah blah blah programming, blah blah blah.
It's ok, but I honestly think you try waaaaaaaaaaay too hard sometimes to be different and it just ends up sounding boring.
This is like Miles Davis on acid and simply doesn't do it for me. |

I can appreciate that you don't like it, but I certainly resent you saying "I try too hard to be different" at least a bit.
I don't do anything for any reason other than that I like it. I'm sorry you don't enjoy it, but don't confuse your taste and my motivations.
And "Miles Davis on Acid" is actually pretty much exactly what I was going for, so at least we know I did what I wanted to. ;) |
