You can break it down in so many ways I tend to use the broadest terms to generate the broadest interest Your second point; there are a couple of mistakes in there, I know i dropped out of phase slightly after some of the transitions. I believe I pulled then back pretty swiftly though. At no point were there 2 basslines un EQ'd, of that I am certain. I do take pride in my EQing. I believe what is happening here is down to my mixer. I use an ecler, which has a very broad mid range. So killing the bass on the incoming still leaves the lower midrange bass in, same goes for the highs. What system did you listen to my mix on out of interest? At the end of the mix I did peter off back into some heavier liquid territory, its intentional, to amplify the peak with the heavy minimal stuff. To bring the listener back down. Did you get that from the mix? Thanks again for your positive and interesting feedback |

| Corrin Penney 07.09.2011 | Thanks or replying mate, you should check out paradox's new album; ramifications. Sounds like it'd be right up your street The mid bass thing is a tough one, as its difficult to take it out of the mix without killing the rest of the mids I try to pick tunes that bounce off each other when layering. Its nice to find a pair of tunes that call and respond to each other in the basslines. Hopefully some of that came across. Glad my indended progression came across too, mission accomplished thanks for your feedback man, much appreciated. |

Thanks for your feedback man. Its interesting hearing this from someone not deep into their dnb (am I right in saying that?)
*SNIP* At no point were there 2 basslines un EQ'd, of that I am certain. I do take pride in my EQing. I believe what is happening here is down to my mixer. *SNIP* What system did you listen to my mix on out of interest? *SNIP At the end of the mix I did peter off back into some heavier liquid territory, its intentional, to amplify the peak with the heavy minimal stuff. To bring the listener back down. Did you get that from the mix? I never really had a social crew or local scene which would be playing the music I have now found is called "drumfunk", aka DNB with emphasis on the D part. This community has actually helped me start to discover the styles of modern DNB I appreciate, because there are various guys who play Liquid and Drumfunk and etc. who helpfully provide tracklists. The point about the mid-bass seems likely. Now that you mention it, I am pretty sure it was a mid-bass pattern which I noticed. I was listening on some ("classic" in that they are older but well taken care of) Klipsches. I didn't have the sub turned on, so it was just their (solid) bass response. I did actually get the progression you were going for, especially on the second listen it is really clear that you take things to minimal/drumfunk/etc. land in the middle and then return to liquid. Given my slight anti-preference towards "pure" liquid (with the strings and vocals etc.) I somewhat perceived this as "I liked the middle more than the end" but the fact that I perceived it I believe means your mission was accomplished. |

| Kenton Almeyda 04.09.2011 | I listened to your mix while eating tater tots and talking to my girlfriend about our labor day picnic plans. Here's my feedback. - I guess I am pretty OK with "liquid dnb" as a way for techsteppy dnb to evolve, but what I don't care for in "liquid dnb" is the high pitched vocals, strings, super bright shininess. I understand that positive feeling is part of the whole sense of the genre, but within the first 5 or 6 tracks on this mix I heard some modern dnb that didn't seem overtly "liquid" but *was* "intelligent" ... is that the stuff you're referring to as "minimal dnb" ? - I thought your mixing was quite good, heard a few very minor mistakes like having the bass in on both records at the same time or being slightly off phase in the high end with both records having high and mid end un-eqed. Nothing someone who wasn't an attentively listening DJ would have heard, probably. - I didn't hear any issues in terms of levels or anything, and a few of your mixes had clear overlap and good tension as a result. - I liked the mix, but it did seem to peter off a bit for me in terms of.. coherence.. near the end? Maybe that was just me.. Thanks for posting, and keep at it! |
| Joie Cantillon 04.09.2011 | Fantastic stuff Flash, very well done mix sir... listening right now, will give a bit of feedback in a bit |
| Marguerite Salsedo 04.09.2011 | Pon de DL Totally looking forward to this, much of the track list is awesome and I've really been feeling the Minimal D&B lately. |
