Episode 35 (Year Mix 2008 Part 2)

Pykenike, appreciate the comments!

For part two I realize it doesn't continue off from Part 1, I tried many days trying to get it to work like that but after several re-dones, It was easier to just make it semi-seperate from Part 1.

Part 2 was definitely more of a hassle and I agree It could use some further touching up and improvements, but I am glad you enjoyed most of it!

I also think I should have put some tracks from part 2 into 1, but there were time constraints and such =/ , I am very satisifed with the ending, glad you are too =D


Thanks for the support man, lots more to come. I think something unique this podcast is the daily megamix style things I push out.

Comments:D

(I write this as i am listening, so it might contain some strange sentences (apart from the regular ones cause i'm dutch :P))

Part 1:
first 15 minutes take of nicely great tracks, good mixture of vocal and non vocal tracks. Great transitions as always! only track that felt a bit out of place was the Maroon one, but well a bit variation is good from time to time!

From the 15:50 mark (hide and seek) it feels to go in higher gear. Marvellous transition at around 18:30, very smooth!
steadily going on strong however i didn't really like that Reynosa track there tbh. but it got followed up by a great track.. Wasted.
Didn't really like it that you hear that dante's track intermediately building up from the start of the beginning....
Guitarra is a great track. A bitch to mix with imo but you did great! (crap intro to mix don't you think? :P) Well done there!
from the 36 min mark it shifts up a gear again. Which needed it to do to top or equal episode 30 ;) GJ there.. Personally i like a bit uplifting trance so i was waiting for this!
Really a great pace! quality just nothing more to add! oh wait I do. That Altra track is just great. and nice how you altered that Pandora track into it! maybe i had liked a bit of the normal Pandora track too cause that is that great
Great tracks to the end!

Part 2
Whoo part 2 kicks off! but it doesn't sound like an follow up of part one, rather as a brand new mix which starts progressively! oh and it's not d loadable in 320 kbps ;)

But hey i should moan, cause it starts just awesome! from about 3:45 i almost thought this became a hardstyle mix or summin.. it picked up pace again.. luckily it wasn't going to be hardstyle :P
But it made me wonder if you could keep up the great pace..
Great transitions Great tracks! Summer Breeze, what a great track. However the transition to back to you feels somewhat strange (you hear the voice if you listen carefully and it shouldn't be there, or at more volume, now it sounds disturbing)

at 13 minutes it feels more trancy-like already which is good, cause the beginning was banging like i already mentioned.
It steams on till Going Wrong which caught my attencion cause it was a male vocal, the tracks before that where mixed in such pace that i almost lost which track was played when.
After going wrong the Mix is back to full trance (not progressive like it started) and I'm waiting for a new build up + climax in the mix and it already started great with Fallin
and after that beautiful track Miracle it really takes off with Take me Away.. but dyes out a bit cause it doesn't seem to pick up pace

Still think that tune of the year is out of place.. but well why bugger: btw it is a great track! After that the it seems to stick into the same gear until 50:50 or so. What a great track there.. great bass
the last 12 minutes (especially that Jochem Miller track and Madness) end great absolutely a good end!
Maybe some of the first 3 tracks of part 2 would have fitted better here, but hey, im an amateur what do i know :P

Overall it's really great. It certainly topped Armin's year mix! I don't know if it topped your episode 30, cause you could choose lot's of great choons from different years there. but it certainly comes very very close!

Good job mate you are very very skilled your transitions are spot on (doesn't mather it's pre-mixed, it just sounds tremendous) and your mixed deserve to be listened by many people. I do know this will be the ultimate warm up before me and my friends go to Trance Energy next week in Utrecht, The Netherlands.

Oh maybe it's an idea to upload this to digitally important (www.di.fm) Then lot's of potential new visitors could be reached. Just call the mix summin like Danny Chan -Trancefixiation.com Yearmix

*bows down*

Episode 30 is officially topped! I'm curious - what kind of mixing equipment do you use?

tracklist added =D
