Yes. I am definitely enjoying having decks back.
This mix is a combination of new and old tunes. Tech/House/No?
I have always felt that DJing, in its purest sense, was simply an expression or amplification of the mixers state of mind. I have always tried to hold to that ethos - so my mixes have generally been a reflection of the mood/mode I was in at the time. To be blunt, I mixed to show a part of me, not for others. People get to come along on my journey, I am not just trying to produce a background soundtrack for their evening/life out. It's communication, not wallpaper.
I am generally happy with the mix. The Herbert tune in the middle, in traditionally Herbert style is awesome, but weird syncopation and drum programming makes it a challenge to mix into, and, by my reckoning, I managed to mix out of it on the wrong beat as well. Which didn't help. I am just going to tell myself that he threw in a 3/4 bar or something. ;)
Anyhow - the mix is a bit all over the place, but at the same time, the themes are clear.
Breathe. Work. This is the way.
