New mix! Aspiring Producer/DJ looking for some input! =) Posted on: 28.07.2011 by Sana Lotierzo What's up DJTT. Kind of new around here, but if you're into Dubstep check this new mix I just cooked up. It starts off with some bangers/grime, goes into some deep Dubstep and then flies back up with a few more bangers to finish it off!http://soundcloud.com/basis518/zero-to-dub-in-16-bars-mix Features 16bit, Bassnectar, Amon Tobin, Doctor P, Sukh Kevening , Chasing Shadows and more! Much love and feedback is greatly appreciated! | |

I like all styles of music but if I'm looking for background music to listen to while video gaming or doing household chores, I'm going to want music appropriate for said tasks. tl;dr version : To understand which post and mix readers might pick, understand that a little bit of info in the post *title* goes a long way. !!! AWESOMER !!! |

BOREGORE MADE AN ENTIRE FRIGGEN ALBUM OF THE SAME SONG AND GOT FAMOUS OFF IT, WTF??? 5) but 3) and 4) are my personal taste and really not your fault, so back to your mix.. I didn't feel like there was very much progression in terms of intro.. build.. breakdown.. build back.. outro.. over the course of the 30 minutes. I also felt like there wasn't much for me to "grab onto" except for an annoyingly lazy sample (by.. Flux Pavillion?) of a Lil' Wayne hook from like the year before the dubstep record was made. 6) What was the title of the mix? what was it trying to communicate to me? 7) don't describe yourself as an "aspiring" DJ or Producer, it sells you short and makes people want to skip over your music. you either are or you aren't a DJ and a producer. Judging from the mix I just listened to, you.. are. !!! AWESOMER !!! |

| Fernande Alkins 01.08.2011 | I personally can't stand 30 min of dubstep either but can appreciate it where it's put in correctly but you have very clean slams! |
