A little mix I made for a lazy Sunday. Mostly tracks from 2014. Feedback welcome. Enjoy.

The Last Sunday Of Summer (chillout Mix)

The first proper prog house mix I've made on my new set-up (Serato, Pioneer DDJ-SX) - no auto sync, that would be cheating. Went a bit mad about 5 mins from the end with 4 decks. Thanks to Caleb A. Cox for the track Deep Space Robots (around 34 mins in) https://soundcloud.com/andrewcox

Spacey September House Mix - Tom Nixon

I finally got around to recording a DJ mix using Ableton Live and the APC-40 controller. It's a house/trance/techno affair. I thought I'd record the kind of mix that I like to listen to when I'm out running so it's full of energy.

I'm fairly pleased with it for a first effort but I've got a whole lot more to learn about this new-fangled digital DJing stuff. There are a few bits where the levels are a bit off, but hopefully they're not too noticeable. I avoided going mad with FX, except for the NASA sample I used at the start and end - couldn't resist.

Recording a mix using Ableton is so different from using decks. You don't have to worry about beat-matching so you can get into really long mixes and have three or more tracks playing at once which sounds sweet when you get it right.

Hope you enjoy, let me know what you think.
