I haven't been very productive this year what comes to mixtapes, so I've been taking time in the past two weeks and here's the result. I decided to divide this into four ~1h parts with different themes, so I hope you'll find something for yourself here (assuming that you like house :D). Here's a little description for the mixes:

The sound in the mixes is pretty summery in general, and they include some of my favourite tunes this year and some of the latest tracks as well. You can hear here and there that this is not an Ableton mix, but I'm pretty satisfied with the result. As always, comments and feedback are more than welcome! :)

wow, 4 parts!

on the dl, thanks for sharing

Re: Aki A - Return To Monkey Island (4 mixes; deep house, nu disco, techno etc)

I listened to arrival last night. I really enjoyed it! Although I have to download them all again today because I originally downloaded them on my home pc and not my laptop, and of course I use my laptop at work and I never transferred them over last night. :BangHead:

Re: Aki A - Return To Monkey Island (4 mixes; deep house, nu disco, techno etc)

I really enjoyed - " The Fox And A Sun Mix " , looking forward to this ....

downloading ......

Re: Aki A - Return To Monkey Island (4 mixes; deep house, nu disco, techno etc)

Thanks for sharing! ;)

I'm downloading "Arrival", then I download the other mixes and post my feedback.

Re: Aki A - Return To Monkey Island (4 mixes; deep house, nu disco, techno etc)

I've listened to all of these today and they are all really good! I still play The Fox And A Sun and these will go nicely in that playlist! :RockOn:

Re: Aki A - Return To Monkey Island (4 mixes; deep house, nu disco, techno etc)

Departure is looking good right about now, need to grab the rest. Thanks for sharing :)

Re: Aki A - Return To Monkey Island (4 mixes; deep house, nu disco, techno etc)

The Fox And The Sun made me angry with jealousy and I bet these will too.

Re: Aki A - Return To Monkey Island (4 mixes; deep house, nu disco, techno etc)

Whoa, thanks for your comments mates :) I'll try to write the tracklist asap, now I'm just too tired to search all of those labels and remix names etc from Beatport and Discogs :D

Re: Aki A - Return To Monkey Island (4 mixes; deep house, nu disco, techno etc)

You didn't happen to create any cuesheets for these did you?

[QUOTE=Funky Dredd;802365]You didn't happen to create any cuesheets for these did you?[/QUOTE]

No, but I can create them and post with the tracklist, trying to do it tomorrow :)

Re: Aki A - Return To Monkey Island (4 mixes; deep house, nu disco, techno etc)

Take your time. I was just wondering because I was going to try and do Departure. I'm going to throw it in the car for this weekend :D

Cheers :)

Tracklist added to the first post, you can now also find cue files to every mix in the folder. I also tried to add some metadata(?) to the files so if you play the mixes with iTunes, Winamp or f.e with iPod it should include the cover as well. I'm uploading the new files atm, it should take about one more hour :)
