| Mixing ok but a few mistakes, too many long mixes though and breaks running over each other means it doesn't flow very nicely. Seems to be trying too hard to keep the tunes in time and not concentrating on how the mix sounds. Nice to see ansa phone in a mix though.

| Mixing ok, but jungle tunes are so similar its not hard to make a mix that flows as well as this, or to cut them up a lot. not really very adventurous in my opinion (probably because i'm not a great fan of jungle

| Completely loony mix! Tripped out vocals and voice snatches. Good long drawn out mixes. Still too late on for me though :-( |
| Although what he was attempting was incredibly difficult there are too many mistakes to have made it a winning mix, it just doesn't flow very well. also a few too many anthems. top marks for effort though, at least he tried something different (watched a few too many dmc videos.

| Wins purely because of great tune selection and daring mixing, its nice to see someone daring to drop tunes straight in quickly, and on the other hand not sacrificing the listenabilty to the mixing while doing so.

| Too many anthems and very hesitant mixing, tunes like far out need to be dropped straight in and not faded. also well done for trying but the scratching, although being good in places, is very repetitive and out of time quite a bit. quite short mixes as well.

| Aptly plays a Ratpack tune…too many anthems! To be fair, the mix would definitely move the crowd at Raindance though. Too many mixes not brought in at best time. Gets better as it goes on and gets harder. Nice touch ending with Raving I'm Raving!
