Still needs a track listing and nice cover art but I'm quite eager to read people's reactions so I thought I'd go ahead and post it. Used two MK5's, a Xone 62 and a Kontrol X1 for this which I have access to for the summer (and hopefully my own from then on).
It's pretty much ambient/IDM for the first 20 minutes and I will be honest it might be a little patience-testing for some. The idea is that it builds up and ultimately pays off. Very steady progression in this one with BPMs ranging across the board.
I've been wanting to record something like this for quite a while now but never quite got around to it. Finally with the access to the equipment and a sizable collection of tracks I felt that I was ready.
I'll also mention that it was sweltering hot in the room when I recorded this, with no A/C and a thunderstorm outside, which forced me to shut the window. It actually felt like the music was very suitable to that, so I guess I feel it kinda has a sultry, steamy vibe.
So I hope you enjoy. And please do share your thoughts when you're done. If you're bothered to haha:haha: I know I'm not always.

this mix provokes a scenario in my mind where I'm entering some realm full of scary species with no humans around. this is mindboggling - it's truly intelligent music.

Ive listened to this 3 or 4 times by now, i must say its miles ahead of any of the dub mixes i made. In fact its so much.better that when i tried to listen to mine again i just had to give up after half an hour.
I specially liked the first hour and a half(it gets a bit flat in the end), and i did miss one or two crazier tunes, or perhaps a more drastic change somewhere during the mix. Great stuff never the less.
About the mixing there isnt much to be said, technically its solid, but it gets kinda obvious that your a prog dj with those really long and smooth transitions. Techno usually works better with faster changes in pace(imho).
Criticism apart i really like this one, and ill probably listen to it dusins of times! Great work Adam, well worth the (4 month) wait!
