@ Ben_j - Both Snow BReaKing mixtapes are excellent for the year-end party mood. Very cool.

I've also grabbed your Rillettes & Moutarde Mixtape and will check it out this week. Thanks.

thx for your respond on soundcloud and here! This mixtape doesn't demonstrate my style of mixing this kind of music in general. i have to do it because of the time i was playing (and the crowd of course)

but in winter, hmm, i kind of like this deep moody techno tracks.

I've heard several of your mixes now. I like your style on this mix and in general. Your segues always flow nicely, and I typically like your song selection and progression.

I dig your work, man.

Okay gang, I'm posting up my first mix for your review. This set upgrades my favorite grooves from the 80's into something I'd spin today (if I still played out). It is my first digtial mix. 2010 is wrapping up and I couldn't let another year pass without posting a mixtape.

Let's see, we talked through like 5 post pages about whether or not Bloke is a guy or a girl (not that i'm mad at you). And also, that "fourth time" thing when bloke made some applause gestures was just a joke. We also talked about if basshunter was good or not, which we were supposed to post music and listen to them as such.

The 80' songs you mention in the track list are intriguing, satur8 - I'm interested in a fresh take on the old alternative classics. :) I'll be giving this mix and some others here a listen sometime during this week into the new year (time flies!!)

This mix looks great, satur8! (lol, accidental rhyme).

Of those remixes in the tracklist, I love at least five of them—I'm pretty sure I'm going to love this. And I'm about to go on a trip, so thank you!

Edit: You live in Philly? I'm flying into Pittsburgh! Sadly, I don't think I'm going to make it to Philly this trip.

Hey man, have a safe trip.

Philly and Pittsburgh are about a 5-6 hour drive from each other; they're close, but not really "night out" close. Besides, with the current weather in the northeast, you'll be satisfied to get to your destination on time.

Have a great time in the 'Burg. Go Steelers!

ironically, i finally got some working headphones on my ipod. Kudos!

I love the doctor who takeoff sample!!

Hi, just thought I'd resurrect this thread since I have been meaning to post in it about satur8's, but got all entangled with the new Chems show.

It's really great! It's so seamless, too. I shared it with a friend I used to work with back at the record store who's an 80's fanatic and she loved it. It's hard to believe this is your first mix. What program(s) did you use to mix the songs together?

Also, Ben_j I've been meaning to give your mix a spin as well. Same with giving everyone else some eartime.

Thanks man! The weather was actually fairly reasonable for my trip. We were going to eat at the Fritz, but instead went to a brew-house/restaurant built in this church. Very cool.

And your mix - it is excellent! Whirly pretty much said what I was going to say. Keep up the good work, mate!

Finished it (yes, I was actually working on a song). Give it a listen!

Satur8 - will check out your mix at some point, right now I need to get some sleep... uuughh

@Eis-T & probass - Thanks.

@whrily - That's awesome, thank you. Please continue to share it with anyone that will listen. Keep in mind it is my first digital mix, but I have past experience spinning on both vinyl and CD decks. I never gained much of a following, perhaps due to my tendency to cross styles and genres. Or maybe I just sucked. Either way, I am very happy some people have enjoyed this mix.

As far as software goes, I used MixMeister Fusion. Some people may downplay this as compared to more popular apps such as Traktor or Ableton; MixMeister is traditionally known for plotting the mix after you pick song order. However, anyone that listens will see I built the mix with a good amount of editing, remixing, layering and general work; I did not simply let the segues fall as they may. I needed an app I could master quickly yet one with enough functionality for producing the progression and style I was looking for. The title "time and space" is somewhat ironic as I really have neither, although I ultimately thought it was fitting for the theme in general.

I would love more feedback from anyone, even if it is negative. I haven't gotten much response here, on Soundcloud, or with some other friends so I'm wondering if I should continue putting future mixes out there. (I'll keep making them 'cause I enjoy it but I'll keep sharing if you like them too.)
