short summary of the tracks:
01. something sentimental
02. same track as 01. but then in a trance version
03. I believe this is made by an amateur producer but can't remember it that good anymore
04. everybody should know this
05. OMG f*cking nice synths in this trancer
No we are going to begin with the more attractive part:
06. again nice synths, remix by icone, he;s a great producer
07. That lovely uplifting trancer again remembers me to a very lovely girl
08. if this is not uplifting... quit listening trance, please
09. nice techy/oldskool tune by robert natus If you listen correct, you can hear a little of the "Tiesto - Traffic" riff in it, good for the next tune
10. Bootleg by Phantazm of some Tiesto tunes, played this with the famous speech of Martin Luther King... sounds freaking amazing
11. Everybody should know this, upgrades the energy of the previous track, especially because of the vocals.


Matthew J - Promo Mix March 2005

Many many thanks to trancingP for the hosting and many many thanks to phantazm for track #10

edit: only 18 smilies (allowed)

looking forward to it!!!

your mix was my fav. in the last competition!!!

to bad it was rated so bad by the judges

Link added, listen and enjoy
questions about tunes etc. are welcome

will check it out when i get home curious how these tunes will work out in the set let ya know lata

Tracks look nice, but I think You Did Survive (which is a really nice tune btw) looks a bit out off the rest, but perhaps you have worked it out well so I´m curious to hear your mix

i thought you were putting in one of your own tracks

just like you said in the pm, well gonna take a listen to thisone.
tracklist seems nice, will edit later.

btw. tnx for mentioning me

yep, that's correct... I would...
I made a few tracks for the UKTA Anthem competition but as far I finished them, they did not sound very well in the mix so I'm working the tunes some more out

my apologies for that

But at least I have a little edit (track 10) of myself

Can you send me that track too sounds great, will do my review soon

well you get my vote for original opening
tracklist looks amazing,

as you said cjbolland goes very well mixed with someones ( ) bootleg of Adagio For Lethal Traffic Love 643( ),
very nice edit btw.

sadly you didn't mix in any of your own productions, makes your sets different from the others.

very good set,

thanks for the review
as I already explained I could not finish the records I wanted to spin which I made specially for this set (and anthem competition) that's also why some tunes do not 100% fit in the style of the mix, I tried to fill the 2 gaps as good as possible

i'm glad you decided to wait on the tracks instead of rushing to finish them. looking forward to hearing them when they are done

just follow the anthem competition forums and ofcourse the unsigned production forums regularly..... i'll keep the entire forum (if they read those posts at all) informed through those sections

i have some info's for ya on track 3:
Alphadelta is a project from a 25 yr old UK producer
Seems I got the tune some months ago from dance industries

website seems to be: www.alphadeltamusic.com

waiting for the review

like in the last mix your track selection is very nice!!!

transitions well a few smaller mistakes but hey im not here to look for each transition im here to enjoy music and there your set was a burner again

also i like that u made the transitions a bit longer than some others here
u found a very good mixture of harder club traxx and melodic traxx! your set was never boring!!!

i dont know but i like your stuff if u ever get a live gig send me a ticket plz

if u wouldnt live so far away i would give your mix to my manager of the club where i play twice a week

in conclusion:

i didnt listen to all set´s here yet but yours was definately a journey into trance

thanks for the review, Tommy
I don't think I'll ever do a set somewhere arround here coz i'm only do MP3 sofar (I even spin not more than 2 or 3 tunes a day ) Maybe I'm going to save money for CDJ's in a few months but my drivers license goes first But I'm almost fulltime working on producing. You'll hear something about that soon

For any bootlegs in the set, you know the PM button
If not, then mail me

mix is still online

Hmmm, very unique begining, nice! I've not heard the original before, only the Fire and Ice Remix, which you have perfectly mixed in at the symbols crash, well done there. Your next crossover isn't so good, the beatmatching seems to be in ok, but your EQ needs more work, and I think there was a little key clash too. The choice of tune works really well though, Waterflow is a great choice at this point in the mix. I really like how you mixed in Rapture. When listening to it, I wasn't even sure that you were mixing it in until I heard the vocal! Maybe too much bass drop when bringing in Approach but beat matching was exellent, though somehow I didn't feel it was a complement to the previous track. This is a very melodic and uplifting tune tho, it has qutie a classical feel to it. i feel that there is a lack of variety so far in your mix, each tune has been a huge anthem, which is no bad thing, but when used after each other it can lessen the impact that each tune has. The majority of your mix has been very melodical, but when mixing each tune is concerned, I think you need to focus more on in key mixing. This is only really an importance when two tracks are being mixed with the melodies overlapping each other, if the two tracks are out of key with each other, it can drastically effect the end result. I understand what you we're trying to achieve with the bootleg at track 10, but I couldn't really hear all the music under Martin Luther King vocal and found it a bit awkward to listen to. Nevertheless, it was still an achievement to put all those tracks together and shows that you have made an added effort to be original in your mix. This does lead quite nicely to the classic of The Prophet, I have this on white label somewhere but its in such a bad state that I cant play it anymore sadly! Overall, an enjoyable set with some unknown tunes that were a pleasure to listen to. Great opening, I would just advise you to vary the tracks that you use as you run the risk of it all sounding too similar. Watch the key clashes when mixing melodic tracks, your beat matching is good, but I think you need to concentrate more on the ordering of the set. Great work on the Waterflow to Rapture tune crossover though.

thanks for the review

it's on all points better than my previous (first) entry so I think i'm on the good road

now have to learn the keying and prepare some weapons for the next time

hehe a lil bith late i know
I liked your set in overall, especialy the original touches in it
I didn't hear your previous set so don't really have things to compare but i think you learn fast so you know you can only get better
