i will have to check out the d-n-b mix...it's hard to dance to and darn hard to mix up! Maybe my 4-4 sense of rhythm can't handle it!

[m.g.]

"Departing Ways" is quite good, but i'm not enough into drum n' bass/jungle to appreciate properly... but i like a lot "Travelling with...", awesome choice & mix, the end of the mix is ace (let's say from "Rising Son - uw remix"). Thanks a lot for sharing.


... and, please, can you tell me what the f**k Edwige Fenech is doing here, in the title & as a cover?!

Just listened to "Departing Ways", and enjoyed it a lot! It could be the high BPM or the amount of housey piano and diva vocals in your trackmix, but i felt very "uplifted" by this mix! Usually when i hear D-n-B/Jungle, it's this skittery, dark stuff that makes me very nervous (e.g. Dieselboy, Squarepusher, Roni Size, Goldie kind of stuff). But this was the lighter side, and very nicely mixed, too!

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.
