This is the very first mix that I ever created back in 2004 as a young Marine in Okinawa. I had absolutely no experience mixing at the time (I still don't, really) and was pretty much drunk the entire time. 

I used a program called Virtual DJ and just mixed by ear. This is in no way a professional mix. I randomly downloaded the program, dragged and dropped some of my favorite trance tunes, and played around with the effects; getting to know the program after playing with it for a few minutes.

It's more of a trance medley than a mix actually. Most of the time I just dragged the crossfader from one song to the next. There are definitely some W-T-F moments in the mix... A couple of train wrecks here and there, some overuses of sound effects, a little bit of hesitation, etc.

Overall though, I love this mix. I think the track selection is excellent, even today. I don't claim to be an actual DJ, but for a spur-of-the-moment mix, while intoxicated nonetheless, I think I did a decent job. The beginning is a little ehhhh... but just give it a chance! I guarantee that if you're a fan of trance music, you will appreciate this mix. 

I was going to only include the best portions of the mix, but decided to leave it untouched for authenticity's sake. Like the title says, it truly was an experiment. I hope to one day go back and actually re-master this with some proper tools. 

Enjoy!!! Drop a few comments to let me know what you think.
