nice set!
kept a steady groove throughout.
i liked the deep stuff of the first half more than the techier stuff of the 2nd, but i enjoyed all of the tracks. |

thnx for checkin it out Slylee and kadomony!
I try to make a set that anyone can listen to and get into by the mid point. So i generally start mixes/live sets off with a deep house feel especially if it's early in the day/night. Some like it harder but, i always try to keep my music accessable to anyone and not just fans of EDM. |

OK Aleks, I couldn't finish it yesterday but I heard it from start to finish on the car on my way to work this morning.
Track Selection
Some really nice tracks here mate, my favorite part was the beginning of the set but that's just personal taste. Apart from Noodling and City of Lost Souls, I hadn't heard anything before ;)
Mixing
Solid mixing overall, although the transition into 'City of Lost Souls' was a bit off. It was beatmatched and phrased properly, but the EQing was a bit off. You can notice a sudden increase in the low frequencies when you fade the outgoing track.
I also noticed that you like to use FX a lot. I'm not a big fan of using FX because they tend to be too distracting, but if they are used subtly they can work. Again, this is just personal taste ;)
Apart from those issues I pointed your mixing was solid overall and creative at some points, like the transition out from Noodling (I'll comment on that one later).
Programming and Flow
I partially agree with what kadomony said. You managed to maintain a very steady groove throughout the set, but I thought you kinda were all over regarding the flow. The first four tracks worked very, very well together but then there is a very sudden change after Noodling. Although your mixing here was very creative, like I pointed out above, it kinda disrupts the mood you were slowly building with the previous 4 tracks. From here on, I'd say it flowed pretty well with a few ups and downs but you could have inserted a good 3 or 4 tracks after Noodling before shifting gears in such a dramatic way. However, I get the feeling that it could have worked very, very well in a club. :D
Overall it was a good, varied set, I enjoyed it.
How long have you been mixing for, mate? |
