rfb's TECHNOvember

Enjoyed it, don’t play much techno music myself so as far as criticism goes I don’t really have any. Keep it up.

Thanks very much, genuinely appreciate you taking time out to have a listen.

I agree with your comments to be honest. The programming I know was very poor, but that was due to I didnt really listen properly to the songs before I played them. I downloaded a group of new tunes I had been looking through, and was looking forward to mixing them, so just went straight on mixify and had a live hour of playing through. Needed longer listening to them properly to decide exactly what order for them to go in. Also had 0 listeners near the end, so got chatting to my house mate and did an awful transition (into Thriller I think), just cos I wasn’t fully concentrating.

I never saw this as an issue, until listening to it after reading your comments. I am still fairly new to DJing and none of my friends do it, so I appreciate your feedback massively.

Odd intro I agree. Second track sounds quieter than the first. Third track-like the transition, seems to get a bid loud during the mix. Fourth track-nice transition, can’t go wrong with Spastik. Fifth track-not my favorite transition, would have preferred you built the energy up more coming out of Spastik, not bad though. Sixth track-nice transition, really built back up like I was hoping you would a track earlier. Seventh track-another good transition and it keeps building. Eighth track- great transition. Ninth track-worst transition of the bunch, you took it down one notch though which is great. Tenth track-not a great transition either, I feel like you lot a little of the vibe here. Eleventh track-another sub par transition and I don’t think the track fits too well. Twelfth track-transitions ok, fits the last track well.

Good mix, really good considering how long you’ve been at it. My only issue really was how quickly you burned through tracks, but that’s more of personal preference. Listening to your deep house mix right now. First mix was good, second not so much. Keep doing what you’re doing, I’d gladly dance to you in a dirty warehouse.

Don’t take any of it personally. I enjoyed the mix and I was genuinely impressed. I recently switched to digital and at first thought that auto gain would be awesome. I’ve now decided it’s a piece of crap and I’m never using it again.

I’ve got a mix up if you want to have a listen. There’s actually 4 on my mixcloud. The Lights Went Out is my newest and I’ve received good feedback from other sites on Faded Memories Parts 1 and 2, particularly 2. All tags are where the mix begins. Anyway, here’s the link to my thread if you’re interested, if not, no hard feelings.

Check out Henry Cullen and DAVE the Drummer (same guy different names). I think you might dig some of his stuff. It’s not big room stuff, more deep tech, some is driving though. Good stuff.
