Congrats, sir!

i haven't read URB for a while...is the readers mix section a list of tracks you'd use in a dj set or an original mix of yours? Either way, cool stuff!

Well done! Dunno if we get URB here, but it would be nice to see the article if you can upload it.

Good stuff!

I know the magazine is at least in the US, and I'm pretty sure it's international - but don't quote me on that. It's been around for just over 15 years now.

and the mix itself - well... let's just say - I was quite surprised it made it into the magazine, know what I mean?

Sweet. I'll have to check it out.

So did you just send them a disc via the mail or via the internets and they liked it?

I should make some decent cover art and send them my mix just for the hell of it.

ok - here's the mix

hXXp://www.sendspace.com/file/pek4fi

change the "XX" to "tt"

...one little pet peeve / something to point out : this was a live mix, I only point this out, b/c I've seen (on other MB's) people bragging / posting their 'live mixes' that they 'did at a party last night' ....only to discover that 30/40% of whatever was within it was premixed - and anything that was done at the live = trainwreck of a transition. Or, the other option is that someone does the mix on a program like ableton, and constantly 'revamps' the mix over and over again... not that the mix itself is done again, just more loops added to previously existing music file. So, basically - the final product couldn't have been done on the first go

but again - none of that rant has to do with anyone here... just stuff I've observed at other places

and yea - I even agree that the mixing is a bit rough in places, I originally wasn't going to send this mix - but I thought that it had enough character to stand up on its own, you know?
