thnx man! i think its up to par with the last one, maybe even better

[-hooky-]

really nice mix man good luck with the competition

[tosker]

AHH this mix was great!

there were some tunes that i thought were whack like the 'cranberry goose' and tmsv tune, but you totally made them work when the next tune would come in! obviously some things make more sense after the fact.

that slamming technique that you do with 'don't change for me' is real fuckin hype. if you don't know what i'm talking about, i'm trying to describe the way you brought in that instra:mental track (on apple pips, can't remember the name) in the other mix. no real lead in or anything, just straight drop with the bass on full force.

also, that joe tune is mad funny. i was cracking up during that blend with the seven & elvee tune! i had never thought about mixes having comic relief, and i don't even know if that's what you intended, but IMO it added alot of depth to the mix.

ALOT of great things going on here. Hope the competition sways in your favor!

wow, that's the best feedback i've ever had on a mix, thnx tosker! about the 'slamming technique' i dont know if i mixed in differently than the others but i guess the timing and the mixture of those two songs was just right. with the joe & elvee blend i just had fun with it, its nice to hear that it adds to the mix.

[tosker]

you're totally welcome. Usually I can't get through most mixes/podcasts I hear without skipping ahead b/c shit gets boring, but throughout this mix I didn't feel like that at all. In fact, the whole mix basically got played without interruption (with the exception of a couple rewinds when the drop was hot). Kudos to you, my friend!
