Starting with Storms In Africa and Little Fluffy Clouds, this mix grew to expand on those themes and then finally bring them back near the end.
This weeks inspiration was to stick to about 128 BPM and see where it goes. I also ended up limiting myself to tracks made before about 2003 (woops, all except one track). The earliest was 1981, but most were from between 1992 and 2003.
Look forward to next week where we turn it up to 140 BPM and see what happens!

Oh, and this was the first mix I edited the volume envelope post-mix to try and deal with some loud and quiet tracks that weren't quite dealt with by Traktor's autogain.
I looked into doing more (compression, etc) but the consensus seems to be that EQ / Volume envelope should be more than enough to make it sound good.
I went for a much slower BPM this week. My track selection was all very close to 100BPM so instead of adjusting up/down throughout the set I just locked Traktor at 100 BPM and ran everything at that rate. One track was near 120 but it wasn't beat matched, so I just marked it as 100 BPM and let things go.
For track selection I started with some ambient / downtempo stuff, I ended up with a lot of 2/4 tracks so I rolled with it.
