you guys are hilarious, this mix isn’t bad by any means. Mixing isn’t robotic but it’s still good.

:script: maybe you guys are moaning because you are used to ableton/acid/whatever created mixes? …

or perhaps to perfect mixing on decks?

anyway i appreciate that the mix got uploaded and im used to fact that lot of djs won’t mix perfectly.

Re: the quality of mix.

Just good to hear how DJ’s adlib when it goes wrong too hey, there were some tight amalgamations in there.

At least the mix wasn’t butchered by MCs like that sweet mix by Calibre (another story!!)

you would not buy a CD if it contained clanging, I think she should have more quality control on the mixes put up for download.. surely this site is for feedback even if the feed back is not so good.

Last thing I wanted to do is cause a fuss. Everybody is welcome to their own opinions whether they agree with mine or not.

Nice selection, shame about the mixingâ€¦â€¦

Great track listing, the hydro & naibu track is sick.
Gotta agree with nezzy the mixing is pretty poor, and it aint the first time have heard flight put a mix up thats not as tight as you would expect for a swerve set…
a tight mixer like Aaron Jay puts flights skills to shame..

There’s a big difference between studio mixing and live mixing. Flight does great in the studio, and she’s proven that in her radio shows. When you play live, there are many more factors that can break your concentration or cause minor mistakes.

I agree riomx but I’ve heard many DJs play a seamless set in the lounge at The End because the set-up is very good.

I don’t expect DJs to be robots so I can accept minor mistakes BUT if a DJ is putting his/her live sets up on the web (which Flight did do in this case) I would expect them to put up a technically good mix with excellent tunes because the intended audience demand nothing less.

I have great respect for Flight and it’s only because of that respect that I felt a little disappointed with this mix listening back to it.
