thanks for the compliments!

that dnb mix originally did not have the first 2 London Elektricity tracks. it was a shorter 47 min mix i did last march which i almost wanted to scrap entirely. since i've never done a full dnb mix before (and certainly nothing in the 170+ bpm range) this mix gave me so much headache. i couldnt mix the thing in the exact order that i originally mapped out, so i had to figure out a different track order (based on if if i would be able to mix those tracks in that order) and i had to make sure the mix still felt like it was building up. after i recorded the mix, i liked everything about it (even with the few beat "slippages") except the transition from Jellybean to Lovesick. i even named the mix Soul's Failure (cuz it was a failed attempt at soulful dnb). i think that original mix actually flowed better (with the exception of the horrid transition from Jellybean to Lovesick).

so rather than throwing away the mix, i decided to just add and record tracks in between Jellybean and Lovesick (and also make the mix longer). The transition to Lovesick still sounds a bit wonky.


the Traveling mix was the opposite. that probably took the shortest amount of preparation/planning and finished in one take even with the really long overlaps between tracks.
