Regardless of how 'easy' it is to find, I was hoping to get drawn into a genre that I know a bit about already and have stuff of already. I have no money to go buying tracks just for one set, but a good collection of stuff that would fill many of the other genres requirements.
New or not, I don't think something like this would sound too far out of place amongst what I've heard so far. Just luck of the draw, montana, Lews & sand leaper can pull sets from their respective genres out of their arses at anytime and make them sound good. I also note that Lews vetoed UK Funky but it got drawn out still.
I vetoed it, but the veto only applies to the person who vetoes it. It wouldn't work if it got eliminated from the competition all together. It's just a way of rewarding people who have done the competition before and have had to suffer through a hard mix the chance to guarantee avoiding one genre they'd hate to do. I voted UK Funky because I had no damn clue the difference between it and UK Garage and I still don't :p
Also, while I did get an easy genre, I wouldn't get my hopes up if I were you :p I haven't mixed a pure uplifting trance mix since I first started mixing, so it's been a long time. I've got it mostly lined up and will try to finish it up today or tomorrow, it's just so hard to stay pure uplifting for me. I want to keep throwing in other sub-genres of trance :p

Industrial Strength records also has some good stuff for gabber.

Feel fortunate there aren't actually any decent tracks, so randomly selected bad tracks will sound the same as carefully selected bad tracks
Also on the subject of obscure genres not getting listened, why not have it in the first post if after a while no one has commented on a mix so we can download it and comment. I'd be happy listening to pretty much anything.

Infected mushroom has never been full on.

I really don't understand how you can have such difficulty in telling them apart. Just the syncopation of the beats of the tracks from the two respective genres is clearly quite different, even when you compare two tracks from the respective genres of the same poppy ilk:
It becomes even more obvious when you start comparing the darker and more bass-driven tracks:
Then you add that funky is centered around 130, while UKG is around 140, the extremely prominent percussion in funky that is nearly absent in the swing-syncopation of UKG etc. etc. It just seems very clear to me what the differences are when you just bother to listen to some tracks carefully.

like this is definetly full on in my book. It's just worse than the average full on.
That track sucks, but his old tracks rarely look like full on trance. Astrix, Skazi, Vibe Tribe , Inexus , Cosmic Tone... this is full on.

Tuning in. Tracklist looks awesome :D
edit: Smooth mixing, teez. I just skimmed the tracklist at first so when the Blue Foundation track started I kinda jumped. Didn't know they were that famous :o
edit2: oh , been ages since I've heard Frontier Psychiatrist. Tune!
Great mix, you put a lot of work in the tracklist. Very nice variety of stuff. Not all strictly Trip-hop, but a great mix none the less :)

worked out what I want in mine and going to try & mix it this afternoon. It's gonna suck transition wise but at least I'll have tried.
