Wow Str80 what a comment.

As I mentioned previously on the Techtonic mix, you've certainly contriubted to my creativity of late.
I'm a pure house dj. So getting into tech sounds has taken me out of my comfort zone, so I'm excited by your comments (not that I'll be sticking to the techno house sounds or anything).

Apart from the 1st track in this mix (which I wanted to include here just because it is different), I played pretty much all the other tracks in front of about 100 people in a small underground club room. It was a sweat box by the end.
I appreciate my taste in undergound music is not everyone's fancy, but people know that I'm not going to play commercial house.

Good dj's mix music, great dj's are remembered for it.

You're there dude in the hall of fame!

I must admit this was inspiring i have got to get of my ass and lay one down soon i just got a batch of vinyl from vinyl warning as they are closing down so its a mixed bag, now i need to decide what style to play all i know is if my next mix is half as good as this one i will be super stoked.

Why thank you Ryan for your comments, always appreciated. And for a 5 star rating, I'm really glad this mix made an impact!
It was a thrill to play this out in a club, to get a buzz off the crowd with some of the tracks dropping in was really cool. There was some dirty dancing at going on (and some sloppy dancing too)- but the fact that you were manoeuvring your codpiece? Well that just makes me blush...

I'm not sure I'll delve into the tech stuff again, so this is a limited foray for me, but I know I can count on others to provide me with a refreshing tech bite, should that be required. Its back to deep driving house for me...

Thanks mdma, glad you enjoyed the sounds... Yeah I liked putting together the epic beginning before getting into the more techy/minimal sounds, the first three tracks reminds me of the BIG Room vibe that only the Boiler Room seems to replicate - Love it!
I'll post a tracklist shortly...

Hey Kimba, thanks for your lovely words, I did have a great weekend thank you!
Keep practicing, and if you are committed enough you will produce awesome sets time and time again.
Additionally, what has really helped me gain a better understanding and appreciation for the electronic music scene was radio broadcasting. I started off as a panel operator for a few years on 2MBS, and 2SER in the late 90s, as I was keen to learn about radio. It wasn't a quick transition for me to presenting, but when it happened it was worth it. 2001-02 I did a Tuesday night show on 2SER (Housesounds) - 2 hours a week on the latest house music from here and around the world, and in 2004-05 I did an all Australian Dance Music show ONAir in conjuction with 3DWorld on Pulseradio.net (beaming out to the world). OnAir taught me a whole lot more about the Australian Dance Music industry, and the Independent record labels within it, along with of course the artists/producers/Djs.
I highly recommend this outlet for anyone who is committed and passionate enough - you will learn alot and you will meet alot of people who may end up influencing your musical styles and preferences - but ultimately you will take even more pride in representing the artists music when you choose to promote them in your dj sets. I may post an old ONAir broadcast soon to give you a taste of the show I created each week promoting the Aussie dance scene...
I was thinking about going back to radio again with the emergence of FBi 94.5FM (in Sydney) - but unfortunately don't have the time these days to commit the time required.

Thanks fishn, it's great to hear from you again! You've certainly contributed to some Tech House creativity on my part, glad I lived up to the standard that has been set
I've already had your Perpetual Motion mix cranking on my speakers - love the work you've done on some of the tracks, especially some of the tracks I have recently played - deep side of the moog, etc... awesome stuff! Would you believe you've still been getting alot of praise on here in your absence, almost from a dj educational point of view on how to layer and mix with style.
Cheers again for the listen and comment, next mix will be more housey from me.

Nice one Jay, thanks for your ears and your comments.
The subtle progression every 3-4 tracks to a new genre, or shade of dark/light was necessary as the tension was there in almost every track, so building it up and then releasing was the plan - I'm glad you felt this throughout.
the fact you enjoyed the music that you wouldn't have normally mixed, means my job here was done well!
Thanks again

Thanks emc, glad you ennjoyed this... more to come.
A tracklist will be posted very shortly
Welcome to undiscovered!

You don't think this was deliberate??

Thanks for the listen, comments, and rating Black Sheep -
I've always strived to produce mixes which are absorbing - This genre (tech) is not my personal fav, so I'm glad that this mix was able to grab your attention. Though if you prefer your house on the deeper and more twisted side then that is what I am truly about (see my GU2 mix), I will also yupload my Danny Tenaglia tribute mix again (classic driving prog / tribal house), as the king of the djs is in town this month!
Ps: I have been known to hit the funk dial occassionally!
