I ask, cause I have posted this mixes in several places, and plan working out a few variations before I start using this segment in a live setting... The way I mix is similar to an ABC rapper on compound syllables... I fine tune multiple mini-mixes in groups, ahead of time, so I know when I drop one song I have a half dozen options that will can follow in a few different arrangements.. whereas most DJ's I know try to plan their whole set before hand (Give or Take) and I don't. part of the excitement is feeling out the crowd and venu and letting the music work itself around.. it allows me to change up quickly and shift mood if I notice the crowd is no reciprocating (if that made any sence)

anyhow, get back to me if you could.. I like to hear more, and I could work out some different ideas I have had floating round..

Thanks again.
Regarding the "artistry" that is simply refering to the instruments.
Not artistic talent for the recording and musical ear, etc.
That is a talent and art I don't have so I can totally respect and appreciate that!! Great job.
I just listen for more instrumentation in general but the prodcution itself is an artform - I didn't intend to make it seem less so.

The idea of feeding off the crowd and having a variety of mixes on hand to o so is a phenomenal idea.
When I played in the band I was with we would have multiple set lists so if the crowd was more into getting on their feet and moving we'd pick it up a bit.
If it was more mellow crowd desiring listening music with their beer and ****tails we'd have a slower set.

You have to feed off the audience and give them what they are wanting 0 when you do - they will be into it more.
You can't force the mood - simply feed off of it and let it grow and change with it if necessary.

Good work - I am trying to get into mixing my own stuff but have a bit of problem with the production of it all.
That's a different type of sound that I have not tuned my ear to just yet.

Keep up the good work - I also checked out some fo the other clips on the page and sound and production work is great. I'm a bit jealous that I can't do that yet.
But this is coming from a guy who has had a six-string in his hand for 20 years.
