why do you not appreciate this mix .. i have had this on an old battered tdk 90 for ages
this is one of the best mixes ever just think of a word eclectic… some people think a mix is beat matching but a good dj can play any song aslong as its good regardless of what genre

you should thank jon for this site and i dont see many mixes uploaded by your self christie

air are one of the most influential bands to come out of france

Its two guys, and yes, they are DJs as well as musicians. They’ve been around since 1995 and are on the Astralwerks label. They’ve played some of the biggest festivals in the world, including Coachella and Bonaroo, and have helped compose the soundtracks for The Virgin Suicides, Lost in Translation, and Marie Antoinette. They are very talented musicians and have a huge international fan base.

I find it amazing that you think Air suck, compared to all the garbage you upload, this set is 5 stars, I’m assuming you are “Grandmaster Supernatural”, judging by the countless uploads, pls before you trash someone else (who is obviously far more talented than yourself) listen to your own mixes, especially before you upload them.
Fine you want ppl to hear them I understand, but you have a long way too go, before you can start criticizing others.

P.S I’ve listened to about 3 of your mixes (mash ups whatever you think they are) and only rated 1, If I had more time I would probably rate them all the same, thumbs down.
This is my opinion but I am sure countless others feel the same, I am however not speaking on anyone’s behalf, other than my own.
Practice then upload, then when you get your call up on BBC or Solid Steel, then you can criticize.

I still have very fond memories of Moon Safari, as well. La Femme D’Argent, Sexy Boy and Kelly Watch the Stars were all great.

Unfortunately not, it’s at mixdelux who disappeared a while back (and even when they were online, their current mixes would only be available for a few weeks).

I’ll try and remember to dig this out and up another copy when I get home at the weekend.
