This was absolutely amazing, Maloney! I had a hard time getting around to it but man am I glad I did. The vibe on this was just so large. Absolutely stunning track selection, nearly all of them ones that I am not entirely familiar with. It's a side of drum and bass that is totally massive but I rarely find myself in the mood for. That's what makes this selection so great. From the first track you get sucked in, and the tracks themselves transitioned so well that there was never any jarring. Take that
FLXK1 and DB1 tune. I would never, ever catch myself just listening to it solo, but in the mix it just exploded out and took me by storm. The EQ was, and I'm not saying this lightly, perfect. Take the mix from Ursa Minor -> Luv. As Luv was poking through, I could think of like ten different ways that a DJ could fuck with the levels and it would sound off, but you did it the exact single correct way and I was blown away. Truly tremendous skill and intuition. That trend of just immaculate transitions continued throughout the rest of it. My ONLY original complaint was that Owneath tune, as it sounded like the levels were off when I gave it a listen and it took me out of the vibe. I thought it was your mixing, since the gain seemed too high, but after investigating I think that's just the track and how it was mastered / mixed down.
I'm not joking when I say that thus far, this is my vote for Member Mix of 2016. Out-bloody-standing.
