    Listen to and give feedback to other people’s tracks and posts. Even if you don’t feel qualified, say it how you see it. 99% of punters will have different views, so there is never a wrong opinion. Almost everytime I have given someone feedback, they have emailed me regarding a mix iv done, and given some great feedback (some very harsh but fair).

    Thank’s, it’s a good idea. I’ve never thought about it 🙂

    I’ll try to give it a listen but I’m not an electro fan. Are the mixes on youtube?

    Let me preface this by saying I rarely use effects. I feel you’re using them way too much. Now the mixing, in the first mix it doesn’t sound like the tracks are quite synced up. It’s also just fade in and fade out. You’d have more energy if you just dropped it instead of the slow fade in. The fade out is a couple of bars too early, again you lose energy here. 2nd mix you tease a little and then drop the track. You maintain the energy nicely here. The last transition is ok as well. All transitions are very very quick, maybe that’s due to the “mega-mix style” and in my opinion you tend to get a little effects happy when you have any kind of downtime. Anyway, there’s my 2 cents.

    I listened to your pursuit of happiness mashup and its pretty good but it sounds like your going from high quality to much lower quality… just something i noticed. Your afrojack mashup is pretty cool too but same with the quality thing. Followed you on soundcloud… follow me back https://soundcloud.com/#kadeunit

    Getting Feed back on mixes and what not online is not a true representation of your music.

    The best feedback you can get is by seeing people dancing on the dancefloor. A lot of people who review mixes are usually other DJs…and lets face it we are the most picky and willing to point out flaws…You do not Mix for other DJs…you should be mixing for the Dancers. Dont get trapped in the ideology that everything needs to be perfect.

    Get out of the bedroom and into the Booth! Hell i have had some nights when i was like omfg i totally fucked that up…but everyone on the dancefloor was still dancing…My phrasing was out to lunch but my beats were matched…so when i could i just loop rolled and echo faded out and off i continued. Now by listening to it from a normal persons ears they were like lalalalalalalala im still dancing here. But to a DJ we would all cringe and be like ohhhhh that sounds horrible.

    Interressant point of view, I’m already “testing” my new tracks and tricks in front of the crowd. But the fact most of the time they’re not totally enjoying MY style of music, so my sets are more commercial. That’s why I like to have feedbacks online.
    But I will be carefull no to no be trapped by mixing for other Djs, that’s seems really important. 🙂 Thank’s again

    I agree, the real learning starts when you play for a public.
