Right, will stick this on and type out anything that comes to mind as it's playing
Amoss & Break obvious choices for A and B but not so sure about the tunes! They're both good but Amoss and Break both have such a ridiculously good back catalogue IMO there are much better tunes than these! Have to admit spitface makes a nice opener and it's a nice mix into run off but the latter just sounds kind of muffled/distant to me? I think the problem is just that I don't like it and not actually anythign wrong with the track haha (own it anyway so i obviously liked it at some point) :p
Calibre obvious choice for C, and nice choice of song. I think a lot of Calibre's tunes would be too chilled to roll off the back of run off but this works alright.
Sentinel, woo that's more my kind of tune! not even heard this one before either. lovin the quick mix into network as well, nice hearing that familiar bass line creep in over the top
i think network could've been a tad louder though, dunno if the vinyl is quiet or something? mix into foreign concept is really nice, when the beat comes in in the background of network before possessive drops gives it a nice step up of energy to let you know what's coming! and the drop is as expected, these 2 work really well together. network taken out very subtly aswell which is nice.
mix into my soul is good, tunes work well together but again i'm just not that keen on it - that vocal always seemed a bit random and annoying to me!
the mix into crumbled is sick, especially after 16 bars when the percussion of one of the tunes drops out a bit and crumbled is a bit more distinguishable but still being complimented by the last tune. but then the vocal of my soul comes back!! the mix would've been even sicker if it didn't have that vocal from the last tune singing over it but again that's just me and nothing wrong with the mix itself haha
cold revenge into patience is a really nice rolling mix. probably my favourite bit so far. love it when you start to hear those little bongo percussion sounds of patience over revenge and then the little pause before the massive deep bass of patience comes in. perception keeps the energy rolling, sounds nice when patience drops out aswell and you get the steppy rhythm of perception a bit more clearly.
keep it low comign in sounded a little bit funny but worked great by the time it dropped, nice blend. and love the way it cuts out right as the next tune drops, leaving the touch to roll out (sounds a bit quiet though?). this whole section from cold revenge onwards has been really really nice, it's definitely not noticable that you've been limited in your selection by the A-Z thing.
Bass of paperboy coming in made me jump, on my sub anyway its about a million times louder than the sub of the touch! sick mix though, the vocals work really well over paperboy. and then the little bass womp/stab thing of waterboard coming in over the paperboy bassline sounds fucking sick! and the switch woudl've been perfect if waterboard was just a bit louder! maybe it's just that the bass of paperboy comes through ridic loudly in my sub but both the mixes into and out of it stood out because of how loud it was.
ahh, the clean break bassline rumbling below waterboard sounds awesome too. 2 very sick mixes with waterboard, gonna have to start using that little bassy womp noise as a powerful mixing tool. and then the next mix is really nice with those funny bleeps and vocal samples over clean break and then safety clause keeping the energy up nicely with the fast hats and rolling bass line.
not sure what happens with the next mix though, can still hear the sub of safety clause beneath constantcomplexrs even though the slightly higher lows of constantcompelx are playing? and then when safety clause drops out there's no sub at all? tbh i think my sub is just playing up completely, can't handle this mix for some reason hahah. the tunes work well together though.
not too keen on the mix into jetpack, loses a lot of the energy that had been kept up for the last 6 or 7 tunes. might';ve worked if you mixed into the intro of a tune with less energy and let it drop on its own but cutting out constantcomplex like that made jetpack seem a bit weak!
bassline of tesla underneath 8 ball sounds sick, bit of a switch up when 8 ball drops out but i think tesla is fat enough that it works well. splinter in your mind another rolling tune, might've worked better if it was switched places with constantcomplex but obviously you couldn't do that! good vibes rolls into it very nicely, keeping the pace up.
Last 2 tunes both good choices for the letters but don't really go well together, obviosuly veryr limited by the letters at this point though so no biggie!
Well that turned out as a bit of an essay!! Great idea anyway, and great mix as usual. Whole section from I to P was really really nice, if maybe spoiled slightly by difference in volumes. So i guess the only criticism i can offer is to watch your levels a bit!
