I was really surprised by how well 99 Problems slipped in there. Great mix - I think I enjoy these types of genre-bending forays much more than a classic dj set these days. Far more varied and entertaining, and full of surprises.
This was such a great idea. |

| Thanks for the praise, everyone. I wasn't sure how it would turn out - when you're mixing so many tracks you know so well, it's difficult to sit back and listen objectively. |

Have enjoyed the first two mixes.
Let's see what the third has to offer. |

quite nice done jack, the mixing is nice for most part. trackselection was good. the acid trax mashup trick thing was good but offkey at times, but i think it's part of the fun.
i have done that a number of times, mostly by mashing it up with donna summer's i feel love, an idea i stole from dave clarke. but i also mashed acid trax with kylie's better the devil you know and i think whitney houston's i wanna dance, both mainly when i was just ing around.

What key is Acid Trax in? For me it sounds atonal and I can't hear it clashing.
I tried to keep the mixing quite simple where possible. There are a couple of fader slams in there. It doesn't benefit to try and hold long mixes in this kind of set. |

I can't say that I loved this mix. I didn't really enjoy any of the beginning until the abba tune, which was done decently but I probably wouldn't listen to it repeatedly. I quite liked the Madonna mash up and Horizons is a top tune.
I think it was just the vibe of this set that I didn't get into, the mixing itself was quite good. |

Thanks for the honest response. To be completely honest myself, I didn't really intend for this to have a "vibe" at all. Usually the music I like is strongly evocative, moody or atmospheric in one way or another. Most of the sets I share are generally built out of that kind of music for that kind of effect.
On this mix, I deliberately went with tracks that I like but not because they have much of a vibe (except for Horizons). These are the kind of tracks I'd blast out while getting drunk at a party or preparing to go out. It's not the kind of set I've done before, so I don't know how successful it is, but that was the intention.
Anyway, thanks for listening. |

A day late, but I'll forgive him, is a man who I often lock horns with but always have maximum respect for when it comes to his musical taste. No track explanations - hopefully he'll provide some in the thread - but sumptuous selections nonetheless, it has to be...
