Actually rep seems to be a bit arbitrary , some surprising people have way more than I do , and some of the people I respect most have all red !! I think the amount the person who is leaving it has governs the effect. It they have high numbers the recipient gets a higher amount. After you leave rep, there are restrictions on leaving rep for that same person for a while !


Btw. Had some great feedback on this mix while I was out last night!!

Nice. Still waiting for Harley to send me the version with the voiceovers.

I know the station took their time getting Dubfunk's to him, they are probably the hold up .

You are going to have to forgive me iffy I never heard a mix from you before only productions ... how did you mix this on cds or software?

So I gave this a go ...

I really thought the beginning was cool , with some haunting bjork and thom yorke vocals very well put together , then moving on to one of my fav. tracks of the moment which is Chaim - thrill you" was perfectly blend with that buttrich track , which i had for a long time and after buying it never gave it a go, not realizing it was so sweet .

Sunrise over mali is an evocative track... at that moment everything was fine but...and maybe i'm wrong i felt as if the gain volume went up too high from min 21 till 38min. I dunno mate i felt a little distortion there. Also those 2 tracks didnt do much for me.

I really like how you took the mix on a different direction from what i thought it was destined to do , putting "I try " brought back some memorires so did " ride " haven' t heard it in such a long time.

The gui borato remix that you did was sweet. Congrats on it maybe I wouldn't have brought back" ride " into the mix again . "No turning" back was as good as it gets at that point of the mix.

The ending Planet Funk – Inside All the People (Harvey's Sleepy Ibiza mix) was superb ...

Cheers mate hope you do more mixes like this one.

^^^ Was wasn't it !!

For me this mix epitomises my philosophy on mixes. It's a Dj having both the knowledge and the confidence to use all the music available , not just the latest. The right tune, in the right place, at the right time !!

In this instance all the sweeter because Nid was thoughtful enough to use a classic from the city that this mix was for !! Also paid homage to a great producer.

I've probably said this before but "Ride" was the first track I ever recognised on the dance floor. Still sends shivers up and down my spine!! Still love listening to the reaction it gets in Hernan's Moonpark

Re: Nomad in the Dark on Writemix with Harley Augustine on Kiss FM Melbourne

Thanks so much for the very kind comments guys. Haziel thanks for your well thought out review there. The gain volumes do go up around that time because of the tracks on there (e.g. the dousk remix of Dancing with an angel) were crappy vinyl rips to mp3.

That whole bit with Ride was improvised about 40 minutes before I had to send the mix in and I did it in one go so it was a little choppy. I was originally going to end with something else but I then I started thinking that this might be the only time I ever get to play on the radio in Melbourne (one of the cities I have always wanted to visit growing up watching Pakistan play Australia at the MCG) and I wanted to pay homage to one of its greatest producers and my hero Luke Chable. So that’s where the Ride bit came in.

Thanks again for taking the time to listen to it. Here is the audio with Harley’s very flattering intro. For some reason the audio quality is not very good. Harley told me that they were having PC problems at the radio station that day so that might have contributed to the dodgy recording.

Fucking brilliant piece of music that. I used to open with it back in the day but decided to close with it this time.

Agreed, years on and this track still sounds amazing. Tbh, never thought I would hear it played out again.

Thanks for the mix and also for reminding us how beautiful this track really is.

Spot on.

Track has Melbourne written all over it.

Re: Nomad in the Dark on Writemix with Harley Augustine on Kiss FM Melbourne

Yes it does. doesn't it.

I'm giving this mix equal playtime with Hernan's latest at the moment. But shh, don't tell him !!
