| Comment: | There are several mixes of this track available, I have chosen to review the “Instrumental Version” because it was the last version of the song that I used in a mix posted on the site. It starts with loud claps and a kind of buzzing noise in the background but quickly builds to the meat of the track. A soild kick drum and the clap continues but a nice synth bleep is added and every 32 beats there is a little micro breeakdown. At 1:20 a windup synth sound is added and it slowly starts to build up while the micro breakdowns continue. It continues to build the windup synth till it gets to 2:20. If this was one of the other mixes this is where the lyrics would start. It starts to build up again and continues till the break at 3:15 where it then starts to wind back down. When the break concludes the wind-down it continues back with the same loop that it started with. This continues to the end, where at 5:33 we get a final breakdown and its pretty minimal with just the beat, clap and a bass synth hit that repeats till the end for about a minute and a half. |

This is probably one of my best mixes yet (IMHO). It flows well, it mixes well (except for the second to last track I got a bit rushed because the phone rang). There is a good mix of solid Electro House and some good classic sytle house as well. Mixed using the “Harmonic Mixing” technique. Its got several of my current favorite tracks Hi Friend by Deadmau5 & MC Flipside and Fun Punch by Bag Raiders & Whitenoise.

My Progressive House selection is pretty skimpy, I think its like 70 tracks or so. Another problem is that now that Im doing everything according to the Harmonic Mixing chart, its even harder because each key only has a handful of tracks in it.
