only going by memory of hearing it years ago. tunes were good but mixing was aweful. Remember we turned it off about half way through cos the mixing was so bad. could be drug induced memories though

[MangaFish]

No, the mixing really is that bad.

I'm by no means anal about mixing. I couldn't care less if theres a few sloppy mixes, but then it sounds like the whole set has been randomly thrown together and not even beatmatched at that - i have to wonder what the appeal is.

Sorry guys - just my personal opinion

That mix was certainly not intended to be perfectly beatmatched, its a snapshot of a live fireworks at a techno party that was off the hook.
Many people - especially newcomer djs - failed to understand what the term "energy" in there consists of. Later on they started chasing these tracks down cause they finally understood the content. The fact that Mills can charge 5 digit number dj fees and gets a full house in 95% of his shows in the real world proves online talk wrong any time. But yeah "that guy can't mix" etc blah blah...go on.

I understand all that (always have done) - i just don't think that mix is all that.

i've heard of plenty of off the hook sets with heaps of energy without resorting high bpms. sets with bag loads of energy, progression and quality tracks and better beatmatched. Granted beatmatching isn't everything, but this particular set just doesn't tick enough boxes to make up for it short comings.

I'm by no means calling Jeff a crap DJ. He clearly isn't. I just think this mix is massively over-rated.
