Downbeat & Breathless Mix

I will apologise for this self-indulgent post in advance. I hate writing about things I make/do, but if I didn't in this case I fear nobody would listen to the mix, so I'm left with no choice really. Basically, last night I recorded a downtempo mix, with the help of Mr Dave Wood (thank you very much pal), which I had been planning for a couple of days. Why I went for this style of music over dubstep/electro I cannot tell you, as I know much more about that style and its much easier to mix, but I just wanted a go at something a little different.

The mix runs through many different genre's, including hip-hop, downtempo IDM, glitch-hop, soul & funk and finally downtempo dub-house. I just compiled a number of my favourite songs and tried to work out a way to integrate them into a 40+ mix, and hopefully for the most part it works ok. I mean the mix isn't great in all honesty, so any feedback or advice would be greatly appreciated.

You can listen/download the mix at my soundcloud page which is http://soundcloud.com/michelpoiccard. I wouldn't normally put any of my own stuff on my soundcloud page, but as I don't know the email of the page myself and Dave Wood use it will temporarily host the mix. Once I find out the email I will be uploading the mix to http://soundcloud.com/roygbivexeter, which will host any future works by myself and Dave Wood. Also you can follow Mr Wood's work at http://soundcloud.com/dave_wood.

Sorry once again, I promise to return to new/top quality releases tomorrow.
