I've finished a new mix with Maida Gayle that has been in the works for 4 years conceptually. I needed to take a big break and think about how to improve, as my last release received positive reviews from most friends but I know that it was too over-sampled and a bit maximal. I consider it a sophomore slump as my first mix before that was pretty good even though it had over 200 samples. I tend to go nuts on the post-production.
So this mix takes it back a step and focuses on the primary tracks themselves with no gimmicks, layering one track on top of another, up to 3 or 4 at a time. There are tons of samples because that's what I do, but it's not anything near my other mixes quantity of madness cuts and edits. The title of the mix refers to how many layovers while traveling we've had while making this mix, as well as how the music itself is structured (layers upon layers), and also has quite a bit of ethnic music.
This is by far the best product I've put out musically and a huge reason why that is is that Maida assisted and added to the mix the entire time throughout. When I started to get too crazy with adding things, she toned me down. When I needed to mix-in something interesting, she had ideas I never would have thought of. Thank you so much for the help Maids!
If you find this mix interesting at all, please share it on your wall. We tried to make something really unique that I haven't heard before and I think in terms of cross-genre mixes, which are hard in the first place, we're at least content with how it came out.
Thanks!
