MIX ARCHIVE!!!

Lievez, psychill isn't a genre that i'm well invested in but i've listened a little bit to it. usually from the artists and acts that you selected in this one. the mix itself was interesting and it had some really nice tunes but the flow was too patchy to make it stand out.

Nik, i enjoyed this mix but in the sense that it was well done but didn't really have that extra edge. liquid funk is a genre/subgenre that i've listened to and played in sets and to me it's always been about the funkyness and soulful vibes and i'm missing that in this mix.

tunes was nice but like i said, it would gone down nicer with more uplifting themes. mixing in general was good as usual from you but you could hear that you're mixing this as someone who usually plays 130-140bpm music (which i also do, so no foul meant what so ever). i also was missing a bit oomph and impact for the peak tunes but other than that no complaints.

Usually we implement one or two extensions, but I think I'll only want to implement one.

How does 2 weeks sound to everyone? The new end-date can be October 17th

I've been pretty busy as well but I should have some time later this week... my aim was to bang it out Thursday but more time is definitely appreciated.

Still haven't listened to any of the mixes posted yet, but that's something I shall rectify shortly. Mystery's Liquid Funk mix should make a good soundtrack to tonight's workout...

Everyone (including Joe) has until Oct 17th to finish their mix. If you don't submit it by then, you can't participate in future competitions.

I agree. It's not the genre where I'm like "Hey, let's do something cool with this "

But still, I'm glad I did something new

Bierheld. A well done mix on most respects. I think my only remark is that I didn't like the last couple of tunes went into a progressive house route, almost trance to a certain degree. There is some of that idea in the Wild Pitch style that DJ Pierre evolved but not that much.

Ziptnf. This is going to be a story, so bear with me. Your mix sprung a memory in me from one of Ishkurs mixreviews from 10? years ago or so. He used to review mixes that DJ's would send him physically and one of them was a Happy Hardcore mix. Ishkur wrote something about the playing HHC that I think is true in most respects but really hits on point with genres where most of tracks are epic and ultramelodic.

What he wrote was that there are two ways of playing Happy Hardcore, either you bang on with one tune after the other or you try to include some extent of subtlety and/or some tension and release. Just try to fight the notion of just banging on one big tune after the other for 60 minutes. I did the latter on the eurodance mix that I did for this challenge a few years ago where it seemed on the surface that I was just banging on tunes after another but I took it down and up at key points even though there was 30-odd tunes in the mix.

And what I'm going to say is while I really liked the mix in the sense of that there were really good music displayed, but it really was just bog ol' anthembashing.

Yeah, for sure, it was. I think the deal was that I wasn't aiming for this to be a mix that had peaks and valleys and all that. I had a dozen or so tracks that I had remembered and loved from more than a decade ago and I wanted to fit them all in. So while I pigeonholed myself into anthembashing, I'm also not really disappointed that's how it turned out either. I wouldn't be playing happy hardcore if I meant to take it super seriously But I see your point, and thank you for the review.
