I really enjoyed listening to your mix. It contained a good mix of different music genres, beats, and showcased minor elements and unique details from the songs. I really dug when you mixed an electronic new wave 80′s song with a 90′s hip hop etc. I seem to be drawn to mash-ups of completely different music styles that have been tweaked such that they just flow well together. We also got to hear a little scratching and other modifications (i.e. dj skill), but they were presented in such a manner where the transitions and mix are still smooth, and flow.

I also really appreciated the fact that this mix actually showcased DJ manipulations, as opposed to just playing a few minutes of a song with a base in the background and then having a repeated formula for transitioning into another song, which plays as it normally would on a CD or radio edit, without any artistic expression and tweaking of the piece. I’m not impressed when I go to certain wedding receptions or related events, and there is a “DJ” that merely plays songs “as is”. If that is all they are going to do, then people might as well just play their I-Pod mix and forgo getting a DJ. In any event, it was refreshing to hear an entertaining and eclectic mix. Good job! Hope to hear more stuff soon!
