Recently, www.6am-group.com hosted a mix contest. The rules were simple – limit of 60 minutes, must be a fresh set, and must be techno. I love a challenge, so naturally I took it on and submitted a mix. My rough objective when assembling this set was to see how high i could push the energy with only 60 minutes, while also keeping the mixing as tight as possible. I’m fairly happy with the outcome, there is only one spot i would re-assess if I were to do the whole adventure again (see kas:st to fautzi).
I picked songs from some of my favorite labels at the moment, and included a throwback from my hardcore days in 2007 to finish it off at a high energy point. Labels included:
ARTS
Affin
Bpitch Control
Children of Tomorrow
Counterweight
Delsin Records
Edit Select
FLASH Recordings
Mary Go Wild Black
Mord
Perc Trax
Phantasy Sound
Planet Rythm
Polegroup
Soma Records
Sonic Groove
The mix wasn’t chosen as a contest winner, but I’m happy with the result regardless. Enjoy!
