I love this tune. First heard it on a Brisbane graff dvd. |
he turned a piece of dog into an awesome tune. The original is horrid, I heard it on the radio in the barbers once & was like 'woah, this is baaaaaaad' And obviously, being a kid of the early 90s, the 'ravey' influence is welcome. |

| not bad but this is completely different to what i'm using right now, this is much softer this looks more like breaks. |

OK after listening to the mix completely here is my feedback:
I quite like the intro track, i think that commercial stuff on Hardstyle is easy to listen in this case, hardstyle purists would say Headhunterz is but his tracks are more than a pounding distorted kick.
The mixing on this is quite good, phrasing could be a bit better but the mix it's pretty flawless so good score here.
Around the middle of the mix it starts to become more "Hard Trancey" , i can't blame you for this, still i can consider this hardstyle and is melodic and full on supersaws which makes it look kinda old, there are some metallic sweeps i hate but this is part of the style.
Last song is clearly full on :P mixed with some hardcore elements but foll on still, it reminds me a bit to the Warp Brothers , a good way to take the mix to your territory without completely.
Overall i liked it despite it's now clear to me that i don't like this anymore, but wasn't a pain listening to this. |

| Thank you, Rodri Santos. I'm not too disappointed with drawing Hardstyle, I actually had fun with it. I appreciate the listen. |

This will simply be a straight forward mix of some great summery tunes that I felt like mixing due to the utterly grey and dull weather outside.

Nice mix. Took me a few listens as I had it on while very tired and dozed off. Not typical ambient sounds either. Nice work. |

teez, good stuff. given that this is a triphop & other associated forms of it's greatest hits mix, it's really nice. mixing was fairly good and tunes was excellent.
ian, hmm, you and i talked a lot about your mix and i told you that all you really had to do was at least do an honest effort and you succeeded with that. mixwise, well, i thought it started really nice, the first three tunes flowed together quite nice but then it just became awkward at times. i thought it was a bit to short aswell, but you actually turned in a mix and i actually think you would so nice one. |

| thanks tony. I tried, found some new stuff I liked, but it's definitely not something i'm going to be regularly trying to do, especially live, I think even Chrissi would hear the awkwardness in the mixing ;) |

zipntf, ye, nice effort, mixing was good, tunes were not all good. there was one really cheesy one, the one with the piano in the break, it's all prefererence but i'm more partial to the prototype hardstyle stuff, the stuff with an industrial influence and the really dark subdued techno influenced material. but i was fistpumping to some of those tunes you played, in my chair, being really stupid. ye, good effort.
jan, we already spoke about your mix it's one of those really nice melodic ambient mixes. 'cafe del flore' and 'lotus position' were a really nice touch |

Ah, too bad, I liked the one with the piano. Sometimes a little cheddar cheese is quite tasty to me :p
Any recommendations as to what you would have played? Those comments always intrigue me, I would like to hear some of your interpretations. :) Thanks for listening, Tony. |

i would have probably played material from straighton black and similar tracks and for the really boshy section, then something like the klasic & sanders remix of 'wildstyle generation' |

I specifically avoided using anything from Straight On Black, because What a Rush was the only track I liked and it has already been used before in this challenge. That remix of Wildstyle Generation is pretty damn cool, though. Not sure how well it would have fit in mine, but I'd like to hear yours! :p

It was a cool little set, with interesting tracks. It's clear you had trouble mixing it, but I don't blame you at all, I doubt these tracks were easy to put together or blend in any way, shape, or form. I'm sure I would have had similar problems if I had drawn this genre. It was nice, albeit short. Good effort, though, Ian.

Very nice and summery indeed, lots of guitars, glitch, pads, rainstorms, etc. The whole nine yards. My favorite track was definitely 18m-21m, whatever that one was. Really nice set, good work Jan.
Looking forward to more mixes, pump them out, people! :) |
