Exciting. Happy New Year man. Hope things are well with your girl. I'm pulling records for one of these. Get ready!

Hey Josh. Happy New Year to you also. Hope you had a good Christmas. My girlfriend is doing OK now so I should have more time to spend on the site. Looking forward to your mix, I notice you have been busy recently dropping mixes & they have all been quality. Elwood is also hopefully going to do me a mix which should be good shit also. I need to line up some more people but I plan to drop a show every few weeks as well as the usual posts. I am most likely going to visit the US in April, I'm still deciding whether to vist the US or Japan. If I go to US you will have to tell me the spots for records in the D as I may go there for a few days.

What up Paul?
Off to a great start! Your doubles of Track 8 (Tenderoni?) - MAD DOPE. It's one of the weaker songs on the tape, yet you rip it up and give it new life, which is what doubling is supposed to do. (duh!)

I am finishing recording an old CD project , after thats done I will get going on my contribution.

Hey Elwood, Thanks for the shout. If you send me a mix half as good as the Soul Glo one I'll be very happy. I did the mix in one take, I have cut up Tenderoni about 5 or 6 times before, but the one on this mix was probably the worst time I did it. But I couldn't be bothered to re do the whole mix or edit it, so I left it, as it was as the mix as a whole was OK. I don't have the time at the moment to do a perfect mix or the attention span. It is what it is, but I can do much better. Any way I think you should do more posts as they are always dope. Looking forward to your mix. Peace Paul

Wow. Sounds flawless for one take! trust me, I been fiddling with the same mix for 6 months in pro-tools, its not worth the hassle.

Hey Elwood,
I don't really have the attention span to keep going back to the same mix & editing it together. It was bad enough doing this mix live about 3 or 4 times over a week, I start to get sick of listening to the same tracks. I've got loads of mixes saved where I worked out perfect mixes but got bored after the first 4 tracks & moved on to something else. I still love mixes where people spend ages on them & edit loads of shit together, you have to have some mad patience to do that shit. I'll do one soon but I think I would have some kind of breakdown if I was on it for 6 months. With this one I mixed the tracks, then stuck a quick intro at the start then talked over it later. I'm trying to do this more like a radio show where you just do it & thats it. It's more disposable than doing a classic mix, but I suppose at the end of the day it's just something to listen to. I still want to do a mix and spend ages on it one day, if I can fight the boredom of working on the same shit constantly.
