Cheers, N2F - appreciate the time taken to listen to the mix What I tried to do around the Turbulence is layer Boca's Play With Me (see where it breaks down at 21:25mins and it's dropped on the first beat with the fader in the mix) before Turbulence and Boca's bassline both kick in at 22:05mins. I then loop it for a bit with a few effects. A very similar style is done with the Ricky Effe tune (see at 46:31min) but instead with Farley's remix of Signum and they both kick in at 47:11mins. BTW, what did you think of this Signum remix compared to the others? Nathan, not sure if you have noticed this, but as it was a little daring, I was keen to get feedback/comment in particular around these parts... Aside from that, as with the rest of the mixes on my website, I gave this the title, Influence. This is mainly for the reason that the approaches mentioned above and some of the tracks used are heavily inspired and influenced from Eddie Halliwell. In fact I used to listen to a lot of his very early sets whilst learning how to mix

Thank you, N2F - let us know what you think - hope you enjoy it! :thumbsup: I love energy too - full fire You're right: I used/played Signum on last year's mix, it's one of my all time fave tunes (right up there with a tune you featured in your mix; Da Hool's Love Parade), but this time used the Andy Farley remix, which has not really seen the light of day that much...

Nathan, Simcut , N2F or anyone who's listened to my mix so far: Just wondering what did you think of it around the 'Turbulence/Play With Me' & 'Ricky Effe/Signum' sections? I thought I'd try something different and really took those tunes on with the mixing to try put a lot of energy into my set. I never grow tired of Cosmic Gate's remix of Urban Train and also thought I'd conclude the set with a great tune that samples Pulp Fiction (although the title is very naughty and certainly likely to offend the ladies )...

THE JMJ was an absolute beautfy - I remember having the CD single when I was about 13/14 Have been fortunate to post in a little more detail on the mixes as all I did on the weekend was lay in bed bunged up - ill - and listened to them all and did nothing else. Like I said, it helped the time go by quickly (what do they say when you're having fun ). N2F: My comment about the longer mixing is purely positive feedback and just an observation from my point of view as with everyone else's. It's just meant as for example, with the Nalin & Kane remix of Love Parade, I heard it cut into the next track. I had to do this on my mix with the Cortex track as it is a b!tch to mix with - it's very loud to bring it due to the nature of the tune and only has an 8-bar into before cutting silently - I feel that's a weak point in my set, but worth the compromise of the tune as Simcut points out excellently - BOSH BOSH! Hey guys, I think it was Homelands wasn't it? Moonman, I'm sure Marcella Woods did a live performance of this track with Jules - it was brilliant and absolutely amazing Oh the days off Homelands and Radio 1 and Jules' shows there Thanks for pointing out about the mixing too... I like the style of it - neat, tight and clean - excellent and well done!

Ok all... After spending pretty much all weekend bunged up in bed with a very nasty MAN FLU I decided to let my body's natural defence work it's magic by doing nothing but resting and conserving energy! I loaded up my iPod with all of these mixes and listened to everyone's! It helped the weekend go nice and quickly, pass the time and I even feel better today As mentioned, I have made comments on all the mixes and would like to share these with all... IanK: The mix I received... Very smooth, swift and seamless. Soft, yet uplifting trance... Really takes off around the 20min mark (which arrives flawlessly) and there are some really great trance tunes. Callista - Stoneface & Terminal Mix - what a tune and what a remix. I can't quite put my finger on it, but it seems to remind me of S&T's Blueprint and a combination of A&B's Tranquility Base (the riff part)? Just love and always do hearing RVB - Timeless... Great transition to more uplifting trance and concludes nicely. Very good set on the whole and great mixing - perfect levels! N2F: Really impressive selection of tunes - well structured and certainly a lot of thought gone in to compiling those. Tunes that rock - Da Hool (whoop - one of my ALL tim fave tunes), 2HD, Ayla - superbly slotted in mid-set(!!!), Tony De Vit - if only you slotted in some scribble scratching Halliwell stylee over the top ( - always think of my Eddie Bosh CD - when hearing this tune! Only comment I had on this was that occasionally it felt that some tunes could be left in a little longer to mix. On the whole, a fine feast of quality tunes - I can see the thought processes behind it Moonman: Love the ID3 album art Really like this mix - a completely different approach than the rest of us. I'm definately going to keep this - this serves as a great group warm up mix before going out! The mixing is well tight - and I notice that this style, unless it's me, but do you mix and cut by 8 bars? Also, I guess I know the tunes, but not the entire track and structure, but it certainly sounded like to me some looping in order to have a quality outro to mix on (any EFX or Serato??) - this worked really well and I smiled to myself hearing it. Love that kind of mixing. Christian Hann: For me, this stood out slightly on the fact that a lot of folk (myself included) went for more classic, old skool and tracks from back in the day or anthems. This set seems to utilise a lot of recent tunes and was extremely well laid out. Like Ian K's - IMO - this was a proper DJ trance set. It really picked up from the very beginning - I'm a big fan of the many takes on 'The First Rebirth' and Randy Katana's track also gets you bopping. It flows nicely up to Mat Zo's track and that is where the highlight of the set really start's to change tempo and level for me. I love Mat Zo's sound, the productions and remixes are always top notch. Three Drives - what a track and your very own track slots in absolutely perfect - I didn't notice at first (alway's best way hey), but then after spinning a few of your tracks, I could hear a few elements Tempo slightly picks up and the set concludes nicely with Breakfast - very enjoyable! Pleasure Paul: Again, another really well thought out compilation of tunes. Some real classics and beauties and the mixing was really good - tight and structured. Tunes that rocked: African Asylum (first heard this on Jules' first ever Clubbed CD - love it!), Terry Bones, Svenson & Gielen (love their work - pumping, uplifting trance), Green Martian and what really brought back a few memories was hearing Dirt Devils - I loved that tune and was v.happy to hear that. The set concludes nicely with Skip Raiders' Just Another day. I have only one gripe and that is that Frank Trax seems to be too high on the gain? JasonB: The legendage who fired his mix very early to me! Love your thinking process behind this Guv... I know how Tom Bailey's influence on the proggy stuff rubs off on you - after our previous conversations - and that combined with your immensely amazing knowledge of many many dance records out there and put into a mix set is always going to be of the highest order! Again, liking how it flows and is structured and John 00 and The Digi Blondes track was by far the best track on there for me - absolutely love it. Is it the Solarstone remix? Matt Hardaway: Lots of comments kicking round before posting feedback on this and how good this mix is - I can see why! I just loved hearing Bomfunk MC's and the mix of Yomanda coming in to that was quality: "Uprocking - Whoop Whoop - Spinnin' and Glidin' - Whoop Whoop. It goes superbly! Great to hear a mix of 'Power Woman' and love that Moonman track. Lost Tribe is a cracking track and nice to see a different mix of Nebuchan in there before wrapping up splendidly with Brainbug's Nightmare. Very easy to listen to, flows very well and a proud set of tunes and mixing - excellent! Tremor: Lot's of slightly differing types of choonage in this set and they all fit very well. Ayla and Koglin's track kick this off smoothly and the memories that Boy Wonder track brought back - Masterson does a fine job on this remix. Sticking with another Yomanda sound for the Funky G track before reaching what I guess is a tribute to both Jules, Masterson and us on the board with the legendary Pitchin'. It is a great track, but it's just a personal preference, Toca Me FTW over Toca's Mircale Love Universal Nation and Good Shot and Signum's remix of Bulgarian concludes very sweetly. Am a fan of your mixing - very seamless, a little cut ups and bass boosts here and there - just how I like it - well done JayLo: I really liked how this mixed packed in lots of different styles of dance/trance music and flowed from an almost summery, funky like opening to full-on uplifting trance. Some real peaches in there and the intro reminded me a lot of Moonman's mix - I can now see why he liked it so much! Hearing Voice of an Angel and Brainbox did it best for me. The mixing was good and on the whole I enjoyed it! On the whole, this year seems to be probably the best. Every single person really went for it; the sets and tracklists were extremely well planned and structured and even though there are just one or two tracks used by others, it's easily forgiven because they are absolute beauties or just fit perfectly no matter where you play 'em. I'd just like to thank you to everyone again, you've all been a superb bunch and these mixes (with permission from our very own board leader ) are allowed to sit up there with there very own bit of web space. They compliment the audio archives we have and I for one will surely be keeping these on my iPod. Cheers again!

I plan to do a full post of comments for all... I don't want to comment on someone's and not the others. Ian - apologies - solely receiving your mix meant that I indeed checked it out first - I thoroughly enjoyed it, but wanted to post a few more details, which I only thought was fair since I like it when folk post a few comments re: my mixes! I've been sorting out my music collection over the holidays and are also putting these on my iPod for driving to work so hopefully will be able to have some great entertainmen en route!

Thanks, Nathan - appreciate your kind comments... There is also a track in there that took me ~ 4/5 years to ID and then get hold off, something which I'd probably not play out, but had to do so for this because of how difficult it was... Tim should know the track :thumbsup:

MERRY CHRISTMAS AND A HAPPY NEW 2010 EVERYONE! My thanks go out again to all members who participated in this event and making it a real joy to organise. It's been great fun and together there is a whole feast of aural entertainment and tunage that will be sure to get you going and no doubt take your memories right back! Also to Tim Traill who on behalf of myself and all members provided the web space to post them up here on the Archives and give all our mixes a home where they can sit amongst the rest of the quality of the site. Aza :thumbsup:

Was a mistake on my part - I thought it was a 20min mix, whipped it up, sent it off to Briggsy and realised it was three tracks Hopefully the tunes make up for this - if you don't mind Thanks again for putting this together, Carl and appreicate whipping up the tracklisting. Need to whip up another mix soon now - this got me itching

Cheers Briggsy - downloading now - will report back:) Thanks for organising this - great fun!

Downloadin this now, thank you Carl Glad this is already getting good response since we know things been a bit up and down for you recently. Hope this puts a smile on everyone... Cheers again

All good stuff!

DJD initially got me on board because of Paypal option and no charges like Audiojelly for my card. I like trackitdown too and also juno...

That's a great tune - I remember having that on vinyl - didn't it have the three finger mix on one side too? I think it's a guise of Fingersburnt these people

Best wishes to you and your family, Briggsy

Just catching up on this post and this certainly is reading very interesting! Well done to all for taking part and to Briggsy for taking the intiative to whip something like this up!

Nice thread, Carl On a personal note and IMO of course, Trance hasn't really been doing it for me of late so I think I will have a bash at a few classics if that's cool? Should be fun :thumbsup: :kiss:

Thanks Nathan - hope you like the mix and let us know what you think?

Thanks Lynnie for your kind comments - I am very grateful for them! Couldn't agree any more, that Signum tune is an absolute beauty (yes Jason the vox kicks it ). Baby Boomers is also a great track and thanks to Ducky (Martin D) for putting forward a great suggestion! I appreciate you taking the time to download, listen and post feedback so thanks again and it was a great little competition that we all took part in!

Cool cool Damager 02 will always be a tune indeed - what sound when it kicks in - great to mix with too Enjoy the mixes - what about your other favourites, 4 Strings and Love Shy

Hope you enjoy the mixes, Chrissie - look forward to hearing your thoughts on these

Hey all... I decided to email Jules last week and see what he though of my members mix and whilst I was at it, I thought I would cheekily see if there was any opportunity to air it on the show over XMAS for us all... I just had a response and thought that I would share it with you:

Thank you Jason for your kind comments, most appreciated The ATB remix of Tukan has such a beautiful riff and the vox really do it justice, very sweet, but agreed the remixes you mention are equally as good, it's just that I thought that track fitted the mix better IMO. It was a case of just getting that track into the mix selection Deep Blue Dream - absolute beauty of a track and all credit goes to Christian Hann for suggesting that track! Quadrant - thank you for your comments too and checking out the mix! Was a great comp this year and had real fun taking part!

Is a steal for £ Jason, mate! I think the vocal mix works wonders with the main riff at the kick in point. Think the vocal does it best for me mainly because it is so good to bloody mix! After 8 bars whatever or wherever I am playing I love flicking the bass up to slowly let the track come in more predominatly with "yeah" and then "got for me!" It was certainly one of the tracks swaying me further into dance music and the drive to mix! Edit: Just adding this, but how well did this go down [signum] with Eddie Halliwell's set at Ascenion in Manchester for the Essential mix! Thank you Lynnie, I hope you enjoy the mix! Thank you again for all the comments everyone and cheers Tim for pinning this - much appreciated - hat off to everyone!

Thanks guys! Jason - I love that version of Signum, IMO that's the best version - still gives me goosebumps!
