Would anyone be interesting in reviewing a dark minimal set?

I'm just kicking off my journey as a DJ.
I've been mixing intermittently for about a year now, just recently getting serious about honing my skills.
I've just completed a ~40 minute mix of my favorite records at this time.
They're on the harder side of the dark minimal spectrum, with some definite inspiration from progressive psytrance.

Anyone keen on letting me know what they think?

Just uploaded now. I've just completed my first listen and theres a couple small errors throughout, with a rather large one at the end.

Definitely want every shred of constructive criticism anybody is willing to offer. Any info, big or small is greatly appreciated.
 
I only listened to 12 minutes today but I like what I heard. Has a bouncy tech house beat to it (Reminds me of Format B a bit) but nice smooth transitions from part to part. I liked the build ups as well. Not so in your face as todays Electro House or dupstep (which is good in my book). Strangely these crescendos and various other noises remind me of the days in the mid to late '90s I used to go to the clubs in NYC.

I will give a full listen soon, but good stuff so far.
 
Thanks for the kind words! I'm glad I could evoke (what seems to be) a good memory for you.

I'm trying to nail down exactly which genre many of these tracks fall under. It's very niche, feels like a rolling progressive psytrance bassline.

If you have any tracks to share, please do! Could always go song for song.
 
Im not a DJ. I could share some of the stuff I listen to, but music is personal and I find a lot of the stuff I like people think is garbage, but I dont give a fuck.

I was thinking when listening that your music has a lot of different styles but they fit together nicely. Heard some minimal, trance, psytrance and even a bit of plain old house in there. Good job, man. Hope you find some success with your DJing. Tough business to get noticed these days but if you love it, that really is all that matters.
 
Thanks! I can throw up a tracklisting for sure.

Will toss it up later on today.

Post up some of your favorite tracks too!
 
Thank you! Yeah it's definitely not the most popular sound around. Something about it reminds me of a psytrance track. Some of the basslines follow that same triplet pattern as some progressive psy.
