Experimental?
So Saturday I pretty much stayed in and relaxed, watch basketball and chilled. Didn't want to do much that night either.
Got some new beats and decided I'd sit (and stand) at my turntables and see if I could put together an Electro mix.
I like some Electro, not a lot, I'm VERY picky. Also I've never spun Electro before, and whenever trying a diff genre, different sounds come into play etc, and it can be a bit to pick up. Blah blah, excuses. :)
So I literally put this mix together at 3am, and it sounded OK then. I've listened to it again today, and wow, some shoddy mixes due some bad phrase matching, makes me cringe a bit. My beatmatching was pretty on though and I liked my track selection too. So I decided to save it and share.
Please excuse some of the mixes, again it was 3am and my first electro mix.Though I am hyper-critical of myself, so maybe ya wont notice? I'll probably go back and do a prog house mix next weekend. But this was fun. The tracks are definitely upbeat, so if ya wanna listen. Here ya go.

I know the mix from Do Not Disturb to Take that record off, sounsd like there is a trainwreck. But there is a breakbeat in the intro, and I shoulda finessed it more, but really, it was matched. I'm still not happy how it came out though. Also I really wanted to get the Get Up remix in, and don't like how that intro'ed or outro'ed. My perfectionism wants me to delete the entire thing ;) but I think it's not too bad overall. Hell most of you probably won't notice most of this. :-P
Comments are welcome. Don't be too harsh. I may cry.

New mix in the works already, more progressive stuff though.
