Ziptnf - Sentient Beings [power psybreaks]
View this Thread in Original format
ziptnf


I had a goal almost 3 years ago that I wanted to run a half marathon. There were challenges along the way due to injury, where I had to miss the race I planned to run. Today I completed my first one, and I made this mix for me to listen to while I did it.

This mix supplied a steady flow of electric energy that kept me holding a surprisingly fast pace (for myself) all the way through. These are some serious psybreaks, and they will blast out robot battle noises for just under 2 hours. Unfortunately, I ran out of mix before I ran out of race, but that's just something to work on :)

Congratulations on finishing the half, Nick - what was your time?

I'm always down for some psy-breaks, so I'll get on this.

2:03:37. I performed better than expectations, as my knee had been bugging me for the better part of 3 weeks but magically when I woke up this morning it felt great. It rained on us about halfway through so we were soaked by the end. My old man posted a 1:55 but he's got long legs and about 4 inches on me. The winner of the full marathon was flying past us at around the 10 mile marker and he wound up going 2:24:21. Can't wait to do the next one in the fall!

Thanks man! I actually really really struggled finding the right tracks to open this mix with. 3 of the first 4 tracks were late additions because I wasn't happy with the ones I already had in place. I think it definitely worked out, and I'm glad you enjoyed the beginning! Hopefully you enjoyed the rest of the mix as well :D

Oh yes! I was sitting by the gate in Charlotte airport last Monday at about 1.30am jamming along waiting to see if my delayed flight would go anywhere. The people around me must have thought I was certifiable :D

Charlotte airport is a mess, we had a layover there when my wife and I went on our honeymoon last year.

Zippy psybreaks! I enjoyed your previous psy-breaks mixes (Warp Drive and Encrypted Universe if memory serves) so I'll give this a listen and hopefully some feedback :)

Your latest chip-tune mix (Everlasting Adventure) has been getting rinsed in the car recently, I'll need to dig out that thread and give you my thoughts on that one too.

Good job with the half-maff! Furthest I've managed is 10k, and I doubt I'll top that now since my fitness has dropped into oblivion on account of parenting duties taking up all my exercise time :wtf:

Close! Warp Drive and Encrypted Universe were both psy-DNB (drum'n'bass) rather than psy-breaks. The difference is minor in classification, but significant in the sound profile. My previous psybreaks mixes are Robot Supremacy, Battle Machine, and Mech Assassin.

Yeah I understand about life getting in the way... I only made 1 mix last year because I spent all my time getting engaged, buying a house, getting married, and switching jobs :crazy:

Could be useful to get back into it though! If you can find a time to set aside a few times a week to go out and run, you'd be surprised how much your fitness improves. I also suggest loading up your phone/mp3 player with mixes from TA so that you have stuff to listen to. It's how I get all my mix-listening done :p

I look forward to your reply! :D
