Mixing isn't quite as bad as DJFrodo makes it out to be, basically it's brief blending instead of riding the mix. The transition from one style to another in 8 to 9 is abrupt but the release is more a label showcase than a DJ showcase, so there's a bit of leeway that should be afforded to Stony as he was probably given a list of tracks to work with rather than mixing out of his bag.

As far as the actual tracks go, most are solid acid breaks with a Miami bass tinge here (many reminiscent of mid-to-late 90s Moonshine) but nothing amazing.

Some nice tracks......some horrible mixing.

One transition was rough (from 4 to 5). Then the next one was rougher (from 5 to 6). Then another that sounded like it got brought in too late (from 7 to 8). Then that one that will leave you with a BIG "WTF was that!??!?!??"(from 8-9).

Started off promising with some dope rolling bass and sonic boom type tracks, but as tracks started going elsewhere is when the mixing also starts going bad. Next you get some florida/miami bass style stuff that's more thumpy than boomin. Things end off in a jungle vibe.

Mostly this is one of those CDs that you pull tracks from to buy for your own DJ mix. As far as repeated listenings to it for the DJ mix.......no (well maybe just the first few tracks).
