Woops, looks like I forgot to submit last week. I did a mix but then forgot to submit it.

The weather has started to get hot here in the Bay Area. I started this mix off with a summer feel and expanded into a bit of techno. This mix also has almost no vocals, I think there is one vocal sample and then the final track does have vocals.
I'll update this once I do my week 10 mix.
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.
This one stuck a little closer to a single genre/speed than my last one. Some of the transitions seemed to work better in practice, I think I still need to work on getting the gain right on everything, some are louder than others.
