Didn't grab me - I feel this 'bouncy' plodding, techy house sound is getting very tired.. love Maceo Plex as a producer, but his Maetrik guise (and Mix for Adam Beyer) destroyed this, still different Monkier, different sound. Overall some good tracks on this mix but felt very samey to me..

The darker tech house material can plod just as much; at least this has some uplifting bounce. He actually went quite a ways back in selecting some of these tracks and didn't hold fast to a single genre as you seem to be insinuating.

I certainly have to give it another try, many mixes take a few listens to appreciate the brilliance - it didn't grab me that's all. And of course you're right about music in general - i think it may be familiarity. Just not really feeling that 'tech-disco' sound like i did when I first heard it from labels like Visionquest, hot creations etc.

Fair enuff. You gotta' be careful not to get stuck in a rut or you can burn out.

Thx for this, the producer of the moment, wonder what his mixing will be like. 'Under the sheets' is one of my fav tracks from last few months

a dreary and tiresome bunch of accidental tracks.

Dreary and potentially tiresome? Whatever you do, don't peer into the rabbithole that represents his Maetrik guise.

I loved this mix. thought he crossed many different genres without staying in one place too long, not to mention some right blissfully intertwined moments. case in point --

been years since I last heard this.

a ... bunch of accidental tracks.

House Music.

House Music.

They are not accidental.

There are genres (house, techno) that don't stick to the "perfect flow" - "mix as journey" rules, these artists aim for different effects and reactions, they keep it up, then droooop, then something different. It's is a bit of a fad ("New Chicago" and whatnot) but that's the way things used to work.

Playing today's 4-4 music without any flow is like coitus interruptus. You can be unpleasantly surprised.

I know this is sacrilege here, but I'm glad not every mix tries to churn out a chinstroking Sasha-like journey.

Today's music is less imaginative in many ways, especially with all those elongated intros and outros made for wankathon journey mixes.

On the topic of this mix, the music spans at least 15 years, maybe more.
