Hi All, I posted this yesterday but promptly realised something went wrong in the render for some strange reason. It's been a while since I've posted any sets so thought it was about time I made a new mix. Again, mixed and recorded with the pacemaker, I trek through some of my favourite deep, brooding and melodic tracks from over the last few months.

Nice one, this was interesting. The thing I appreciate about you as a DJ is how hard you obviously dig. The artists in your sets, and music recommendations you make in other people's threads are often reflective of this. I knew pretty much every artist in this particular tracklist, but there were still a few curveballs. Honeysmack, for example. Assuming it's a recent track, I had no idea he was back producing again.
The track selection was pretty nice. I enjoyed the prog-psyish track which I think may have been the Luke Porter remix. There was also a big piano breakdown towards the mid section which worked very well. It reminded me of one of those Jason Porter old-school sets (Trellis, I think), where he has that massive breakdown midway and completely changes the shape of the mix. Yours did that, though not so dramatically.
Mixing wasn't up to your usual standard, but was still pretty good. How exactly does a Pacemaker work? Do you have to pre-stretch/analyse the tracks somehow, or does it just pick up on the beats automatically?

Thanks for sharing your thoughts, I actually thought you were going to write this one off, either way I appreciate the feedback. I'm not gonna lie, I've been struggling for a while to nail a solid mix and you're right about the mixing here, it's pretty patchy.
This does tie in with you're question regarding the pacemaker, while it's a fun and useful device to play with it get's cumbersome to mix with at times as you have to control everything with one main touchpad, the tracks are analyzed by the computer software before they get transferred to the device, but even so sometimes the tracks drift wildly.
I originally posted this thread the render came out all wrong, some of the transitions were completely out of sync and it wasn't the way I'd mixed the tracks?? It's the first time I've notice that happen and just hope it doesn't continue to be a pain in ass. At the moment though it's the only thing I can record a proper mix with, I mean I could have done it in live, but playing dj sets on ableton just doesn't feel right to me. I mainly just wanted to get a new mix out of some tracks I've been enjoying over the last few months, because it has been a while I just ran out of patience with myself.
Btw, that Honeysmack tune is from 2008 I believe.

Hey thanks for checking it out. It's a pretty dark and eerie track when compared to a lot of the acid techno from the late 90's he's known for. It's actually the first track I've come across from him for years.
