    I like the mix as it is refreshingly different, but I have also a few points that I would say is very slight critique as it is overall really fun to listen to:
    1. is the overall production quality. this might be an issue of how soundcloud processed your file or how you did the mastering/recording of the mix. but the overall sound is very compressed and lacks a bit of dynamic, especially in the parts where you put in the dubstebby wobbles etc. I miss the energy increase.
    2. I do not know if this is because of issue 1, but especially some of the F/X and wobblies lack dynamic range and acoustic range. Like they work in a cutoff spectrum. If you can broaden the impact a bit you can prolly get much better “yeah baby” feeling in the listeners.
    A good example for me is Skrillex “Bangarang” – even though he uses some wobbles that might come over “cheesy” he get’s away with it, as he added a full spectrum of support frequency response around those. Like if you had a spectrum analyzer the whole spectrum goes wild and even though you cannot differentiate some sounds you get a more energy feeling inside.

    But again, critique on a high level, really lovely and refreshingly different mix!

    thanks for the feedback guys, much appreciated.
    Terry, i understand where you’re coming from, sound cloud definitely didn’t help but i noticed a bit of BANG missing in the mix. When listening to the original tracks it’s there so its obviously recording/mastering problem on my end. I pretty much just recorded straight through traktor and uploaded it without messing around with any settings or mastering it post mix. This is definitely something ill look into to get my sound as good as it can be. I’ve got a feeling i read an article somewhere on ddjtips ages back that explained using audacity and tweaking traktor gains to get the best sounding recording so ill check that out.
    cheers for putting in the effort to write up such a detailed critique, it was exactly the thing i was hoping for
