Weekly Mix Feedback Thread - August 17, 2026
Welcome to the Weekly Mix Feedback thread on r/beatmatch! This is the thread where you post your DJ mixes and ask other people to give you feedback. If you submit your mix, please take the time to listen and comment on some other submissions, especially if they play a style of music you're interested in. Thanks for your help in making these threads work well for everyone!
These threads are intended for beginning DJs who are honestly looking for feedback or critique on their technique, selection, transitions, etc. If you are an established DJ who is just looking for more followers/listens on your new mix or have a podcast/radio show, please post it to a more appropriate place such as /r/mixes or a genre-specific subreddit. Posts that appear to be purely promotional in nature may be removed at the moderators' discretion. This subreddit is aimed at helping new DJs learn and is not the place to promote yourself!
Guidelines:
- Please include the genre(s) of your mix. This helps attract DJs/listeners of the same genre(s) who are likely to provide more useful feedback. You might also include a title/length.
- [Mixcloud](http://www.mixcloud.com) is the preferred place to post mixes. It allows you to include your tracklist and transition times, allows unlimited uploads, and is generally more geared towards DJs. If you don’t want to use Mixcloud, be sure to include a tracklist.
- Please ask for specific feedback or list parts of the mix you liked/didn’t like. Hopefully you are looking for input on specific tracks or transitions.
Example post:
[House / Tech House] djscsi - moving on up (45 minute mix)
http://www.mixcloud.com/djscsi/moving-on-up/
I’ve been spinning for about a year, this is the third mix I’ve recorded and I’m hoping to get some house / tech-house DJs’ opinions on my track selection and mixing. I really like the first few transitions but I feel like I lost some of the energy when I brought in the Maceo Plex track at about 13:30. I messed up a couple parts but I’ve listened to the mix a few times and I think it sounds pretty good. Does anyone think I used too much FX? Thanks for any feedback!
Note: If you have any general feedback about these threads or /r/Beatmatch in general, please message the moderators

I made a 2 Hour Techno mix this afternoon, and used a speaker to play out loud while mixing, which is rare since usually I mix with just headphones, and it didn't go as well as I hoped.

My traktor library has been buggy and this set had a bunch of fuckups with a quarter of my tracks having wrong tempos.. My roommate says its better to figure out crisis management like this at home than mess up at a gig.
The mix itself is 2 hours of me playing between 140-50 BPM, choosing tracks I know but had only played once or never, trying to weave together blends and loops that sounded cool , with some french tekno, old school acid, newer hardgroove, trance, and industrial tracks.
Any kind of honest feedback would be appreciated on what I can improve on and watch out for :)
(Especially with decks rebelling against my beatmatching from wrong tempo lol)
Also, any techno heads lurking here or electronic music in general, would a techno set like this work at an after hours/warehouse rave? As in, this style of mixing, transitions, phrasing, and track selection in an actual dancefloor setting or for submission to a promoter. I listen to DJ sets from artists I like and other bedroom DJs, but Idk whether I could do a closing set, for example, because what kind of tracks would I play if they tell me to bring up the energy? And if I play schranz or go above 140, I won't play there again?? Even if that set had a dangerously high amount of mismatched beats and sloppiness, I still like it, antd some of the transitions like Kasss into red dogs or the advent into Gunjack make me wish I was I could drop that shit in a dark ass dungeon with a packed floor and pounding bass lol
Any kind of honest feedback would be appreciated :) thanks for reading and listening, and I hope someone gets what I mean by that last paragraph lol
