david michael. i enjoyed it but it was patchy. it started out nice but those two fear factory and project 86 tracks just became a whole load of depressing. it didn't really resolute into anything particular, i just thought it plodded until "here comes again" came on.
following my comment on enydo's mix, i'm not hating on downtempo sections of these kind of mixes. it's just a fine art of pulling some of them off and i'm guilty of this aswell (just check "more phases" for instance) and one needs some bite otherwise it's either coffee-table or blandness.
but anyhow, it did pick up and i really liked some of the creative transitions, like eurythmics into kraftwerk which was an effective cut. the only one which sort of didn't work was janet jackson into garbage but it was good tracks all along and funk bits was chunky. well done. |
Thanks for the very useful review, Tony. Much obliged. :)
Yeah, I really struggled with how to put it all together without it feeling "patchy", but I just kinda let it happen due to the nature of the project. |

ziptnf, listened to yours aswell and i read your reason to do keep it all psy but yeah. it's weak for a project like this but the mix wasn't bad. you are a good dj and the transitions are great, some of the full on tunes weren't to my liking. but yeah, overall it was good. not anything more than that.
now onto jay's i think. |

Hey, wow, thanks for the review. I'm sure I could have found another group of tracks that wasn't psytrance that represented my tastes while growing up, but most of the tracks would probably be too well-known and make it a weak submission as well. Not a ton of creativity, just a collection of my favorite proggy/full-on tracks. :o |

jay. your mix was proper. i wasn't that found of that first track but your selections was great and your comments were amusing. well done.

jack, "the mexican" is a classic b-boy track, the bits copying of morricone was the favourite of kool herc and other new york dj's. when arthur baker & bambaata made "planet rock", it was obvious what parts they wanted to use to form the collage that is "planet rock". |

Loved your mix, Jay. Dug the out of David Bowie, The Mexican, and the Stones. Way to bust out the "radio show" mixing style, I enjoyed that just as much as the music :p 78 minutes of pure Canadian entertainment.
Also, cocks. |

I'm guessing you didn't read the rules, as this isn't a free-for-all on classic mixes. Either that, or this is a very cheeky way to get people to click on your link.
By the way, are you from Leeds? |

thanks for the listens fellas.
when jack asked me to do this,(well this time, last time i had to bail to to technical difficulties) i really wanted to do something that had not been done yet really in this series by not putting in any electronic music. I hope it was a success...my only regret was not having more time, because i felt like i could not incorporate everything i wanted to....
it was my first time doing a radio style set with garage band (the options for voice overs are pretty awesome), and i hope i got better as it went on. I'll get a tracklist up soon, promise.:) |

| @ system...call me surprised that you like le freak c chic. I thought it an absolute cheesy as way to end this:p |

| Mate, I dropped Abba in mine. Cheesy disco bothers me not. I quite like Chic in general, and I have a friend who totally loves them so he plays them a lot, but this was one of those moments where you hear a classic pop track and you really hear it for the first time. I don't know if, despite the big pauses, the lack of mixing and the talking, you created the right flow for it to hit or whether it's just because I was paying attention closely... but when you dropped Freak Out it was one of those pop orgasms in my mind. |

cool:)
i actually found that doing a radio style show was harder than doing a regular dj set. |
