Afternoon all,
Here's a mixtape I put together last night mainly for a gym mix. A lot heavier than I usually like to play - but still some great old tracks, and a couple of newish ones in there. Let me know what you think:
http://soundcloud.com/thisisdmcl…
01. Lana Del Ray - Video Games (Joy Orbison Remix)
02. Booka Shade - Body Language (Tocadisco Remix)
03. Sia & Sander Van Doorn ft. Erick Morillo - The Girl You Lost Goes On (dmcle "couldn't find it' Remix)
04. Adrian Lux - Teenage Crime (Axwell And Henrik B Remix)
05. Everything But The Girl - Missing (Fedde Le Grand Remix)
06. Avicii - Levels (Tocadisco Bootleg)
07. Faithless - Sun To Me (Mark Knight Remix)
08. Wippenberg - Pong (Tocadisco Remix)Thanks,
Dom

- stepson0
maybe do some research into finding some tracks that aren't tocadisco remixes from 5 years ago

Here's another one I did a while back if anyone's interested. Less "middle of the road commercial dance music":

It's a collection of 8 tracks. What do you want people to say? If you like them, just listen to them. Why the need for validation?

- give it to a girl you likemonospaced
- Isn't every mixtape a collection of x amount of tracks? Don't see your point here.
domacle - do you really not see his point here?stepson
- it's pretty obviousstepson

This could be 8 tracks from a reasonable radio mix (ie. a small part of a friday night show for girls to stick their make-up on to before hitting a club)... So it's good (in that it's of that quality) but wasn't that keen on all the tracks... there's not really much of a style or flow to it as a mix... it's also the exact kind of mixing bad djs (like myself) do... breakdown to intro, breakdown to intro...
Try to be more instinctual about track selection, as Claymantis suggested it kinda sounds like you've sorted the traktor file browser by tempo and chosen 8 tracks in a row.

Thank you Kingsteven

I listened start to finish, and honestly I liked it. It was exactly what I needed to make it to the end of Friday work day. I'm no house music aficionado but I dug some of the songs and couldn't tell if they were five years old or whatever. I don't care for that "Desert miss the rain" song, and I did hear one mixing error, but so what.
Thanks.- Thanks mate - think I know where the mixing error was. Thanks for your feedback.domacle

Some songs selected were pretty good as in new to me.
I thought I heard it go a bit off around the 21.23 mark by about a beat.
I'm not sure of this selection for working out unless you are doing cardio or a class (not weights).Keep on making mixes.
