I figured that I owe you some feedback on this.
Good tunes for the most part, if somewhat familiar. I just don't rate Oliver Prime that highly as a producer (his sets are far more interesting to my ears). That first POB-tune is gorgeous. It's also so good to hear my kind of flavor represented again in the oodles of fluff this genre is plagued by. Remind me to bring some tunes next time I swing by Amsterdam (which happens ever so often).
The mixing, however, lets this set down. Not because of the beatmatching or the transitions themselves (I only clocked one mistake that really stood out, and I actually liked some of those short fade-mixes you made), but because of the constant breakdowns, which ruin all the momentum and ultimately turn the set into a frustrating start-stop affair.
My advice is to do more digging for material that fleshes out your set more. That way, you can place tunes like Falling Together more carefully and achieve a much greater impact from them. The remaining mixing issues will be fixed by themselves once you get more practice.
Keep at it! |

Thanks for your detailed comments, much appreciated.
I also like that POB tune, I really like vocals done like this. What can I say about Oliver Prime? I like the two productions from him that I selected and I think it fits the atmosphere of the set, but he has started to serve us the same Prime sauce multiple times and it's getting a bit boring now.
I partly agree with the criticism about the tracks I picked and the way I've compiled them. Perhaps a bit too many tunes in 70 minutes without other more subtle 'flow' tracks. I have to say that the breakdowns don't really bother me anywhere near that extent, as I don't really have problems with it as long as the melodramatic part is left out. But yeah, I get your point.
Digging is fun. Time & money consuming, but still fun. Practising, that's not much fun :p |
