AND I could have easily edited out the problem areas after the fact, but I didn't, because I'm not a punk. Ok since you didn’t even listen to the whole mix, let me break it down for you

mix 1 no errors
mix 2 no errors
mix 3 slight bumpiness at 12:25
mix 4 no errors
mix 5 no errors

The trainwreck going into the last track almost made me scrap the mix entirely, but I figured the selection was strong enough to keep. After all, part of the whole ISM theory is that track selection is infinitely more important than mixing. Besides, I'm sure you'll find the mixes on most of my other dj set recordings to be nearly flawless. Curious, where are the spots that are particularly hurtful to your ears?
