Below is the result of my latest excursion into deep house territory. This one starts off nice and dubby, adds a somewhat techy flavor and along the way and finally, transforms into an almost progressive house-like mixture of pulsating bass and ethereal melodies.
Not much else to add. This might by my last set of a while that sounds anything like this, so do check it out if it looks like it might be your thing.
Feedback is always appreciated, of course. I already know that some might point out he very last transition as being somewhat off. It might sound a little weird and first but I think that it makes sense.
EDIT: Alright, so I went ahead and did it anyway. I wasn't happy about the last transition in the end, and despite the last track being quite beautiful, I ended up changing it. The new one couldn't have come at a better time, as I knew it would work as soon as I heard it. I was actually hoping that I'd have had it yesterday as I was waiting on the digital release. Luckily it came out today so I was able to grab it and include it as well.
Cheers!

This is my first proper review, and im making this coz this kind of style is which i LOVE.
Track1 -> Nice choon for starters. Flowing into the void of spacyness.
Transition 1 -> 2 : Excellent - i had to listen that again for making sure im following correct point:)
Track2 -> Love the bass, and the pads/vox-combination works very well.
Transition 2 -> 3 : Works very well. Nice work!
Track3 -> This bass gives good pressure and little bit more groove for the set this point.
Overall quite groove tune, i like this one:)
Transition 3 -> 4 : Comparing to other transitions, this was the most "off" at this point.
Track4 -> I would have make this track n.3. Now the flow is killed little bit. That "deeper"-sample doesn't sound good IMO.
Transition 4 -> 5 : This one works very well. Fast one which fitted good at this point.
Track5 -> I like this kind of groove. Its deep but still zumbamatical dancable:) ING TUNE!!!
Transition 5 -> 6 : Fast & working, but...
Track6 -> ... this track completes the goodness.
Transition 6 -> 7 : Fast & working ... sick basss!!!!
Track7 -> "Hot knife into cold butter" - works!!
Transition 7 -> 8 : And the bass fest continues:)
Track8 -> The groove is ON!! What-a-track:)
Transition 8 -> 9 : Sick transition. What the is wrong with u?:)
Track9 -> I dont know, but this track reminds me of J-M Jarre. Twisted sounds, excellent.
Transition 9 -> 10 : Good, good, good mate.
Track10 -> The best bass at this point. Its a pacemaker! But little bit more roughness would be good extra for this track.
Transition 10 -> 11 : Nothing to complain.
Track11 -> Now the roughness came! Not so interesting track though...
Transition 11 -> 12 : Not so good, but it got better in the end.
Track12 -> More interesting choon than 11. I like the bells ALOT!!!
Transition 12 -> 13 : That number 12 works excellent in the background:)
Track13 -> A bit dull choon for my taste - but still ok.
Transition 13 -> 14 : Nice work again.
Track14 -> I like the atmosphere of this, also samples are working good.
Transition 14 -> 15 : Good work also in this one.
Track15 -> This doesn't work for me.
Transition 15 -> 16 : Excellent transition!
Track16 -> Although i like Watson & Funk D'Void, this track isn't working in this end.
Transition 16 -> 17 : Even this one was way off, im not concerned. DJ's are human and this is why most sets with mistakes are organic.
Track17 -> Beautiful ending!!
Overall : I sensed a three-phased set, which included deep start, techy middle-section, and groove/prog-licious third-part. The whole package worked well, but i picked 2-3 tracks which didn't fit into the mix. Even with these complaints: i enjoyed, good work!!!

Wow man, thank you so much. And here I am contemplating re-recording this mix with an alternate ending track...yet you make me feel better about what I have now.
I really appreciate your detailed review of this mix. Putting it together was a bit of a challenge in terms of choosing tracks. I bought a lot yet ended up using relatively little. You make it worth it though:)

Downloaded it and will listen to it when I move back into the dorms during the next few days. Definitely looking forward to it!
And thanks for the kind words, glad you enjoyed mine :)
