And with that last submission (I'll forgive it for being late because Joe moved to another country), this challenge is over! All participants turned in a mix. Another 100% success rate :)
I can't wait to hear all of these. I'll be back with a review for everyone soon. |

So, this is a bit blunt, but honestly the psychill mix just felt like a bunch of random tunes thrown together. As jonmitz pointed out the mixing style was way off and IMO this probably added to the feeling of lack of flow. It was also up/down energy level wise every 2nd track a lot as well. The tunes didn't work together very well either. I dunno if this was harmonically mixed or not, but IMO for this style of music (and for psy generally) you should be paying attention to the moods, energy levels and rythmns first and foremost. If tracks clash too much key wise then there's always the opportunity to change them at the tracks picking and adjusting phase.
It kind've feels like a theme of the mix is to show all the sorts of stuff that's avaliable in the genre. Unfortnately often for mixes there's loads of cool tunes that you want to fit in but you always have to cull a lot because some just don't fit anywhere. Too little variety is often better than too much. With careful attention to rythmns and moods sometimes people can pull off a mix that has loads of variety but it's very difficult and requires a lot of familiarity with the tracks. |

I'm done as well now. This was originally meant to be a fun mixtape-like affair, where I'd go through a bunch of old stuff that has been sampled throughout the years by all genres utilising breakbeats. Then montana messaged me on Facebook and said that wasn't what he meant by funky breaks, but rather "breaks" as pioneered by labels like Skint, Fingerlickin' and Bolshi, which is the type of breaks I was never all that enthusiastic about. So, in the end, I gathered handful of tracks from the mid-late 90s, with a few oddities mixed in for good measure. That's about as fancy as I could be bothered to make the mix this time around. Beatmixing this in Traktor was an absolute nightmare, but it should be tolerable now, after a couple of attempts.

Updated my post with a tracklist.
Stu, any chance you could provide a perma link to some of the sets in here? I can't download anything off Sendspace or Google Drive, annoyingly :( |
