[if the embed code doesnt work try refreshing or something, it seems to hit or miss for me, im not sure why ><, or go to my lamesauce artist page at http://www.mydjspace.net/rockman255 to get the exact same thing i copied out.]
..im putting this at the top of anyone even reads it who doesnt like house, but for the record, i also listen to alot of 90s alternative rock, 80s rock, some 90s gangster rap, and several different like.. indie rock bands that are kinda underground. (and play the drums quite reasonably well with a very minor ability to play guitar) so don't label me !
ideally my mixes would be for someone who doesn't want to take the time to find tracks for themselves but likes some housey music once in a while, and they can check my track names and go find the ones they like 
i joined some music hosting website but it kinda sucks, lol. i'm going to see if i can embed the player into this blog, and ill put separate links to each of the track listings, apparently if you want to download them you have to go to the individual links at the bottom of this page and rate them and then it allows you to download, or some shit. which is gay.
anyway, i know most people just arent into music in general, and definitely not niche music. i dont really consider myself an expert or anything, but to put it into perspective i pretty much have at least quickly sampled through something like 10,000 different tracks in varying genres of "house" (which seems to be the accepted phrase to represent all of electronic dance music[electro, progressive, trance, minimal] these days, back in the day i thought that phrase would be electronica), and over the past two years i put together something like 20 compilations of on average like 14 tracks, so its not like i just randomly put a bunch of songs together.
i try pretty hard to make the mixes somewhat cohesive, matching up styles and sounds and i think i literally retooled the july mix like 15 times between may and july.
im kind of a perfectionist, but i think i have to realize that i have to kinda stop somewhere and work on the next new thing.
july is 60 minutes, mostly just very light poppy electro house, and some mellow progressive at the end
august is 79 minutes, the first 8 tracks are a little harder electro tracks and the remaining 7 tracks are melancholy trance, it doesnt really transition well , but i was enjoying these musics recently :o

for tracklistings go to http://www.mydjspace.net/mix/view/id_1177/ for the july one and http://www.mydjspace.net/mix/view/id_1186/ for the august one
oh. and by the way, poker is fucking retarded today.
on the month, i am +3200 for like 2ptbb and +5600 for like 3.5ptbb on ev, so basically it means i play so horribly bad that my winrate can cut in half by variance, imo. heres todays graph.

I listened through the august mix and i think it's bad. I couldn't do better but i feel like some feedback is called for. All the tracks sound the same. The tracks are ok or even slightly good in my opinion but they just don't work together. It feels like listening to a playlist on winamp with the crossfader on. Have a plan for your mixes, tell a story, make it interesting. Or completely monotone for that matter. Your mix sounds like a noob made it in 5 minutes.
If you don't know much about mixing then please try and make the transitions and shit sound less irritating. I'd say LTJ Bukem is the best at that so listen some of his mixes. Bukem & conrad live mix
Also I suggest you listen to some of Jody Wisternoff mixes. Jody Wisternoff - July 2009 way out there

i accept that the track order is chosen really poorly, and that the crossovers are really bad, but if you really are asserting that all of the tracks are extremely similar in the august one, im not really sure what you mean. i know that to people who dont listen to house music usually feel they all just blend together, but interms of subgenres, theres a bunch of different stuff in there by pretty much any measure
did you happen to just listen to the first 15 minutes by any chance? |

I guess to me djing is more than just cutting cool bits and pieces and randomly putting them together for no particular reason. I don't claim to be a wizard. I am just pointing out the obvious. It is not in my intention to disrespect you or your mixes. I listened to 70% of your mix. The problem with your mixing is lack of effort. So take it from there. You don't need to "kill it" with the crossovers, less is more.
By all similar i mean they have been chosen because they are cool in a way but don't work together at all.
Also fixed the link in first post. |

i dont think effort will change anything, i probably just dont have what it takes to be good. i seriously spent hours and hours picking tracks and replacing orders in the july one, and you probalby think its even shittier than the august one.
and i always know its not right, and that it never will be right.
i dont really know alot about djing. but i believe that finding the right matches for songs and making a nice flow over the course of the entire mix is really important and good, but apparently i completely fail at that entirely, since you don't seem to think i made any attempt at it.
wow, i feel like shit. thanks |
