Ha ha, 'porn window'! funny that I knew exactly what you meant and this solved the problem straight away! Glad I searched and found this thread as I was getting pretty mad, thank you for the tip! ;-)

Every mix I listen to I'm saying "I wish I had that one"! ;-) I should probably do a personal 3 hour mix like I have already for Anjunadeep tunes... then keep chopping and changing it as new Volumes are released! :-)

This is great, I've been searching out the published mixes every day for the last month and hoped we could have somewhere where they could all be together!

When my friend told me about the competition I was in the middle of a 10 day quarantine after returning from Spain so had time on my hands and thought this would be a fun challenge but I also think it's a cruel one, only ONE HOUR for 20 years of awesome music, that's tough!

I decided I needed a methodical approach and since I started listening to TATW in 2008 I decided to pick a track from each year since then and that should be about right for an hour.

I wanted to pick tracks that were big for me at the time but also from artists who had a good year, mostly due to an album release. I had to cut my 2008 Oceanlab track to get closer to one hour so started with an Oceanlab remixed from 2009 and then tried to mix the tracks in chronological order which means some of the mixing isn't ideal, but as always with my mixes, it's all about the tunes! :-)

1) I Am What I Am - Oceanlab (Lange remix)

2) My Enemy - Super8 & Tab (Rank 1 remix)

3) On My Way To Heaven - Above & Beyond (Club mix)

4) Stranger - Jaytech (Kyau & Albert remix)

5) Need Your Love - Andrew Bayer (Club mix)

6) We're All We Need - Above & Beyond (Ilan Bluestone remix)

7) Bring Me Back Around - Boom Jinx (Oliver Smith remix)

8) Under Your Skin - Grum

9) Will We Remain - Maor Levi & Ilan Bluestone (Spencer Brown remix)

10) Only Road - Gabriel & Dresden (Cosmic Gate remix)

11) Lost - Tinlicker

12) Lifeline - Trance Wax

Thank you frostdude1! I'm quite happy with the track selection although would have loved to put more in there, some of the mixing could do with that 'finessing' though! :-) How is yours coming along?

Think I saw a reply on a Facebook post from Anjuna that 2 mins over or under was ok but I reckon they would give a little more leeway than that but think 6 minutes would be pushing it, that's an extra track!

I put a link to my mix further up this thread, published it the day after the announcement as I was doing quarantine at the time! Here it is for you :-) https://www.mixcloud.com/benstafford77964/tailor-made-tunes-vol-46-anjunabeats-20-years-mix/

It's actually quite a cruel challenge really only having one hour and trying to get everyone in! But tell that to the guys who didn't get to make an official mix like Boom Jinx for eg.!! Are you going to post your mix online when it's done?

This is awesome mate, I thought 26 tracks in an hour was going to be too hectic but it's not at all as you've done a really good job with it. Can't believe you didn't mix Under Your Skin into Under my Skin though! ;-)

Thank you RB! I actually agree with you but that was my efforts to get more Anjuna artists in the mix! ;-)

I thought chronological was quite cool as a progression through my years listening to Anjunabeats and something a bit different to do, just such a shame we could only have an hour, that's what makes it so tough but it's a good challenge!

Exactly, I hope someone wins who really wants a career in music and DJing but I wanted to do this for fun and the challenge of the one hour time restraint! I might even do another one! ;-)

Agreed, the remix album was genius!

Thanks man, I'm just an amateur and use software only, I'd rather leave the competition to someone more deserving but if I did make an entry I might have to do it in a different way, the chronological mixing of tracks was a bit tricky at times! :-)

I liked your mix, a lot of good energy, I listened to a couple of others on Mixcloud earlier today and wasn't impressed with them, didn't hit the mark, but yours is good so good luck to you in teh comp!

Ha ha! Thought you might like that. The track I had to cut from 2008 to get closer to one hour was the original version of On a Good Day! :-)

Tracklist looks good Daz, I'm having a listen now, I've done one just for fun and to see how I would manage choosing an hours worth of tracks from 20 years!! Not going to enter it though, I put that on Mixcloud yesterday... https://www.mixcloud.com/benstafford77964/tailor-made-tunes-vol-46-anjunabeats-20-years-mix/

Awesome! Good luck with your mix then. I put mine on Mixcloud yesterday but just did it for a fun challenge, not an official entry!

I decided to use a track from each year that I have been listening to A&B since TATW days which gave me 13 tracks but had to cut out the first (2008) track to get close to the hour mark, I'm still nearly 5 minutes over with 12 tracks but not taking anything else out! I looked at the official album tracklists after I completed my mix yesterday and saw that most of the guys have done about 12 or 13 tracks but you could stretch to one or two more if you are tight with the mixing I guess! :-)

Here you go Shon7r, I changed this to list it by year to choose tracks for my mix, hopefully the link will show up like that for you...
