Re: Balance 014 Mixed by Joris Voorn - Tracklist

^ are some of those actual tracks? Or are some of them ambient sounds layered on top of tracks? extra drum-kit records? or are they really really actual tracks mixed together?

Im guessing your right there.

Very much looking forward to this. Ill reserve judgement until i hear it,

I remember when the Transitions 4 tracklist was made available and somebody on this forum said something like "shit? Digweed playing 22 tracks in 1 cd, thats rubbish, i hate it when djs do this"; and it turned out to be awesome as we all knew it would.

Re: Balance 014 Mixed by Joris Voorn - Tracklist

a lot of those aren't "tracks." this is techno. as soon as you start to look at the compilation as a whole from parts put into it instead of a "mix cd" like something digweed would put together, it'll make more sense.

first half of cd 1, basic channel, echospace, etc...sick dub techno. i have a lot of the records in this mix. looking at the progression of artists from beginning to end, i think it's going to be awesome. i'm especially looking forward to disc 1.

this isn't bad boy bill. hawtin dropped 35+ tracks in dex n fx and nobody whined about it. there are a lot of acapellas, tools, loops...mixing parts to make a whole, not track to track to track. i'll bet you won't even know what's playing or when it's playing during a lot of this cd. look at the list again, and remove anything that says "pella" in it and the list shrinks. some of the other "tracks" are going to be looped and layered.

stoked. props to balance for mixing it up and going this direction in a series i'd otherwise forgotten about.

Well that D FX 909 cd was before the time of Ableton though. It literally was Decks Efx and a 909 like the album says.

I too can't imagine it being all that great with all those tracks. But with layering of sounds, you can create a bigger sound.

so? the concept is exactly the same. forget the medium used to get to the end product. btw, where does it say this was put together in ableton? i missed that. (it probably was, but don't assume anything, especially how it's going to sound because you're already discrediting it when you haven't even heard it yet.)

one of my biggest pet peves about music is people putting out a mix cd, live set, whatever, and the first few responses in the thread are, "Tracklist please??" "Tracklist??" um, no. How about you just listen to the music and maybe be surprised for once? The internet has really sucked that special soething out of mixtapes and compilations like this.

it's also interesting reading the response to the disc on different types of music boards.

Re: Balance 014 Mixed by Joris Voorn - Tracklist

well you were speaking about how people get so razzled these days about cd's with that many tracks. But back in the old vinyl days it was more like respected to be able to put that many tracks on a cd.

I know I personally won't be listening to it. I'm not into cd's like that. Except Hawtin's DFX909 CD and only the first one. That stuff is techno. The stuff these days is not techno. It's more of a deep tech house stuff, called techno.

Re: Balance 014 Mixed by Joris Voorn - Tracklist

here's the thing; with progressive music, you can't be Johnny QuickMix. the point of progressive music is to tell a story, take a journey. imagine for a moment that digweed crammed both disks of Bedrock1 onto 1 disk. great choons but would sound like shit.

i think the assumption here (and I made it too) that Jooris Vorn is a progressive dj. apparently he isn't. but that doesn't mean this compilation won't sound good. I thought Balance was prog/house oriented, but I can see they've branched into some good techno.

I've only heard one mix so far that would resemble what I anticipate to be on this Comp. And I thought it rocked. It reminds me a lot of what Zabiela does, but simply using more drum/rythm/ambient layers instead of breaking a single track down into snippets.

Eh Voorn was always a techno dude in my books. Why would anyone think he is prog?

Very surprised that the RA mix was voted best of 2007? I listened to it today, and whilst it has it's moments, I wouldn't call it amazing. He seems to get a groove going, then will drop it out and play some ambient stuff for 2 minutes and start again?

Heard him play at Space in September and he was playing house & prog.

agreed, it was good, but if thats the best of the year i'm wondering what the hell they get as podcasts each week! i've heard ms member sets here that are better than that mix...
