the grind is the best track in the mix and you didn't let it play. however, the mix flows really well and totally made the end of my work day a lot more enjoyable. thanks. all in all a great selection of tunes and seamless mixing.

highly recommended!

part of being a dj is recognizing the qualities of your source material and using them to the greatest effect. by denying those detroit-y stabs from playing in The Grind, you wasted what would have been the strongest point of your mix. while the mixing is seamless, there's more to djing than simply warping the tracks and fading them in. this mix is good, but it could be stronger. learning how to best use the material you work with is essential. you neutered The Grind and therefore wasted a golden opportunity. instead of your mix breaking into new or unique territory, it quickly decends into your typical minimal/techno set.

just my opinion eikman. i liked the mix, but i think my point is valid.

i doubt that playing the Grind for another two minutes would have made the mix anymore unique to be honest. you like that track, which is fine, i like it too but i don't think it's *that* spectacular, so i used it as a mere introduction.

anyway, point taken.

another part of being a DJ is using the source material however you see fit!

another another part of being a DJ is letting the music speak for itself. so put up yr own mix BLD!

i hear cries from people posting in craft all the time to receive feedback. i gave my feedback. i don't feel the need to prove my mixing skills to anyone. where were you in 96? i'd assume not behind the decks in clubs. i provided constructive feeback and i don't expect to be made to prove the legitimacy of my comments by posting a dj mix.

all anybody wants to hear when they post to this forum is OMG YOU'RE SO FUCKING AMAZING. YOU KNOW SO MUCH ABOUT MUSIC AND YOU'RE MIXING, SEQUENCING, KNOWLEDGE AND SKILLZ MAKE ME HARD. I LOVE YOU SO MUCH!

either you want feedback or you don't. my feedback was constructive and overwhelmingly positive.
