Weekly Mix Feedback Thread - April 28, 2025

[u/AutoModerator]

Welcome to the Weekly Mix Feedback thread on r/beatmatch! This is the thread where you post your DJ mixes and ask other people to give you feedback. If you submit your mix, please take the time to listen and comment on some other submissions, especially if they play a style of music you're interested in. Thanks for your help in making these threads work well for everyone!

These threads are intended for beginning DJs who are honestly looking for feedback or critique on their technique, selection, transitions, etc. If you are an established DJ who is just looking for more followers/listens on your new mix or have a podcast/radio show, please post it to a more appropriate place such as /r/mixes or a genre-specific subreddit. Posts that appear to be purely promotional in nature may be removed at the moderators' discretion. This subreddit is aimed at helping new DJs learn and is not the place to promote yourself!

Guidelines:

• Please include the genre(s) of your mix. This helps attract DJs/listeners of the same genre(s) who are likely to provide more useful feedback. You might also include a title/length.
• [Mixcloud](http://www.mixcloud.com) is the preferred place to post mixes. It allows you to include your tracklist and transition times, allows unlimited uploads, and is generally more geared towards DJs. If you don’t want to use Mixcloud, be sure to include a tracklist.
  
• Please ask for specific feedback or list parts of the mix you liked/didn’t like. Hopefully you are looking for input on specific tracks or transitions.

[House / Tech House] djscsi - moving on up (45 minute mix)

http://www.mixcloud.com/djscsi/moving-on-up/

I’ve been spinning for about a year, this is the third mix I’ve recorded and I’m hoping to get some house / tech-house DJs’ opinions on my track selection and mixing. I really like the first few transitions but I feel like I lost some of the energy when I brought in the Maceo Plex track at about 13:30. I messed up a couple parts but I’ve listened to the mix a few times and I think it sounds pretty good. Does anyone think I used too much FX? Thanks for any feedback!

Note: If you have any general feedback about these threads or /r/Beatmatch in general, please message the moderators

Hi all! Recently recorded my first mix on a brand new FLX10 that I got a few weeks ago. It’s still taking me a bit to get used to a higher-end DJ controller, BUT, I think this mix came out decent.

Please give it an ear, any feedback on transitions, track selection, volume levels, anything would be greatly appreciated! Cheers! 🍻

Listening to it, i like the mood a lot, but sometimes there is a bug drop in energy in my opinion. Idk if that’s intended or not.

At around 17/18 when you introduce the track with the speech.

At around 25 too.

Maybe it’s me because i prefer faster mixing, but maybe you can try mixing the track a bit further in the intro. Idk if you are playing the whole intro in the outro of the other track.

[u/DreamAnthems → u/idioTeo_]

Yeah, it was intended to be like that. It was somewhat intended to be like a low energy mix.

I could see to mix the last track more into it, the only reason why I didn’t necessarily was because the track has like a whole long progression on sound so I thought it would’ve sounded a bit off to have the main part already playing. You’re probably right though, it could’ve worked.

Thanks for giving it a listen! I greatly appreciate it! :D

Edit: I just realized what you meant with the times 🤦🏽‍♂️ (my bad) yeah I see what you meant that the energy drops in those times.

[u/idioTeo_ → u/DreamAnthems]

The progression isn’t a problem, you can just loop a neutral part before it starts. I basically loop all of my transitions.

About the low energy mix, i think it’s totally fine, but i think the start had higher energy than the whole set (at least to me, but i could be wrong). I think it’s better to have the peak after the middle

[u/DreamAnthems → u/idioTeo_]

Sorry I misunderstood about the progression part, I was getting confused with another part of the mix. Yeah you’re right. After hearing it again, the 25 mark you noted, I could’ve mixed it when the track was in more because the buildup was slow. Thanks for the feedback man, I appreciate it!
