    NADALSCORE: 11 / 20
    BEATMATCHING: 2
    TRANSITION: 2
    TRACK SELECTION: 4
    OVERALL DIRECTION: 3

    Thanks for posting. Not posting a track listing has impacted your overall direction score.

    Intro track is hilarious and slightly unnerving (when the iPhone rang, I went for my iPhone to answer ;). Your sense of humor shines through and that bodes well for the rest of the mix.

    On the basis of 27:30 and 35:55 I’d say you’re halfway through to becoming a good beatmatcher. Keep working at it though, you still have to work on this and improve. Also, as a rule of thumb, once you’re in the mix you should stay there for 10 seconds at least.

    Program your mix ahead of time, determine what goes together and what doesn’t, test-drive your mix to ensure that you can achieve lasting transitions between records. Also, when using so many harmonious tracks, order them properly so as to really tell a story with your DJ mix. Also, are you playing for radio or for club/party? That will help you determine the right dynamic for your mix. Do you want a series of buildups and drops, like you would have for club playing, or have a more consistent time signature?

    Overall, a decent DJ set. If you keep working on your skills, with this kind of track selection you could start submitting your mixes to radio stations. You choose some good commercial tracks which everyone wants to hear.

    Hi NADAL

    Thanks for the very in depth feedback.

    I can certainly get a track list added to the mix and will do it when I get a chance.

    I tend to really just use tracks that I have heard around and tracks that I like. I do try and structure the mix but I agree this one is quite up and down in terms of build-ups and drops.

    In terms of starting and ending the mix I tend to struggle on how to start it, I try to end with a good vocal tune if possible.

    I toyed with the idea of adding some loops and effects to the first track to try and make it more of an intro song but decided against it and didn’t really use them for the rest of the set either.

    I agree with you on the first track, it is a strange one!
