2019... still the best music on earth.

[@Taken804]

Came here from house?!? Wow, did you miss your bus stop. Glad to have you onboard there Christian! New shit coming out soon...soon as I can get my computer back up. Stick around and leave comments when you like something or if you have a thought as to what I can do better.

[@fatphilg]

2024... still the best music on earth.

[@REZZA2020]

You can bet on it- nuerofunk- still best genre of Dnb out there !

[@Taken804]

Thanks for props...and I'm glad you got on-board. I really appreciate the feedback, or constructive criticism, either way it makes me a better DJ. All my current mixes are posted on my Soundcloud page...same name, its easy to find. As for finding tracks...jesus, I get them from all over and I've been collecting tracks for more than a decade. I couldn't tell you where I got all these from. I'm not posting individual tracks here like a lot of people do...but I'll try to showcase my favs all day.

[@Taken804]

Thanks EC50! Appreciate the support and love...and greets from the US!

[@Taken804]

Thanks mate...mix could be a little better in some spots but the tracks are phat. Appreciate the props and the listen...and I don't sweat what anyone suggests or complains about, I think a lot of people think I just sit down, randomly record some music then hit 3 buttons and have a video ready to go. If I didn't have a life, I could make these uploads over the top...but unfortunately, I do have a life!

[@JoshyNeurotik]

Thanks for the support on playing Trioxin 245!

[@Taken804]

It takes some time to tune your ear and head. I stated listening to Neuro and thought, "that's DnB, everything else is crap". It was a couple of years before I got into liquid and other sounds (never jump up really either). Its funny though...I go back and listen to old CD's I have from when I first found DnB and some of the tracks sound so simple and basic...the sound has matured quite a bit. Nobody can explain why a particular sound resonates, it just rings true to your soul. DnB forever...

[@Taken804]

I'm an old metal head anyway...so I fell right into this sound and loved it...

[@makaska5]

Man, I don`t need drugs, this music is enough. Shakin' my hands to the rythm, feeling like there exists only my room... Dude, that mix is hilarious.

[@Taken804]

Thanks mate!!! Appreciate the listen!

[@makaska5]

Damn, wrong word. I meant rather 'awesome'.

[@Taken804]

You give me too much credit Nova....I'm just a fan like you, but I seriously appreciate the props and the support. Go to the private message section and we'll talk about swapping a couple of tracks like Choose Your Own Mission.

[@Baxter0013]

What the HELL!?!? This is fan-f***ing-tastic! LOVE!

[@Taken804]

its Neurofunk...and you have been infected...you're welcome...

[@gdash6925]

T4KEN i love it

[@FishyDizzle]

Rawtekk Open Borders took me back to thy youth

[@Taken804]

I tend to mix anything I have if it sounds right....so I'm not on this "everything has to be new" joint. Thanks for the listen!

[@FishyDizzle]

T4KEN i listen to this alot when im recording shit

[@Taken804]

I don't know what battle cars is...but I do know that when I play this mix in the car, I'm generally speeding. Thanks for the listen!

[@Taken804]

Thanks Frank! Appreciate the listen and the props!

[@Taken804]

agreed...I actually contacted Skyver to let him know his track has gotten a big reaction out of this mix. I've had more people comment about that one track than any other. Thanks for the listen!

[@Taken804]

Thanks Heber....appreciate the listen and the love!

[@Taken804]

That Phace track is one of my all time favorites. The sample in the middle is so effin' cool...as is the buzzsaw of a synth line...bad ass!

[@Motykafuck]

Yes this is Neurofunk!!!

[@xisteria4523]

this is the finest neurofunk mix so far....congrats man !!

[@Taken804]

Thanks X!!

[@alienboo1227]

Taken i can't stop to listen Skyver neon bandit is my freaking fav song Thanks for this big song :)

[@mikesrevenge]

One hour of pure awesome... Thank you so much!

[@Taken804]

Damn Josh...that's seriously appreciated, but I'm mixing with software which allows me to do some things that are damn near impossible with vinyl...so the comparison is tough. I respect the hell out of really good vinyl DJ's, that's a tough skill to hone and master. All I can really do is take credit for the track selection and the arrangement, the mixing isn't easy but...for me, it's all about tone and pace. Thanks for listening though...man, that's way effin cool!

[@Taken804]

Thanks Peggis...and nothing wrong with playing cello, you've got more musical knowledge in your pinkie than I've got all together. Working on a new Neuro set...hope you've subbed!

[@Taken804]

I'll try to get by this weekend and listen...thanks for sharing.

[@Taken804]

Thanks 13...be sure to load the other neuro sets, really great tracks...

[@ondrejnestor2785]

2021 and still Best set ever

[@Mgaak]

Its "Im so happy I can listen to this". I wrote this on my friends acc while being drunk. Dziękuję za uwagę.

[@Shauna82878]

Some seriously sick selection of tracks my friend Excellent job with the mixes Multi talent at its best thanx for giving me eargasms!!!!

[@Taken804]

Thanks for listening Shauna...and appreciate the sub. Always like adding a few female listeners...

[@MGMDubstep]

Great stuff here mate...My new fav genre..NEUROFUNK!!! Keep it up and ill keep coming back!

[@mikesrevenge]

Yes! Still on Vol. 1 and 2 mainly. I have yet to really check out 3 or any of your other mixes, which I'm sure are just as AWESOME!

[@ThumbingStorm]

Hot damn! I love your mixes! But the Neurofunk mixes in particular are also very good. Big up!

[@mas-ki]

all of your mixes are amazing... they really get me through the day and are great to have on my gaming streams!! thank you so much man. you have all my support :)

[@Taken804]

Dude...seriously appreciate the love and support. I haven't been working as hard as I should and its been a long time since I dropped a new mix. If you'll hit my Soundcloud page, there's a new DJ vs DJ mix there, I just haven't done a video for it yet. Thanks again!

[@roajah]

you've just reminded me how much i love Phace..full on Phace weekend coming up. big up!

[@technocoh]

1) thanks for live tracklist (already said it on another set :D ) 2) i like those crispy, aggressive neurofunk / techstep sounds! ;)

[@Taken804]

Awesome...love it when some neuro gets cranked up...

[@Taken804]

Thanks Op...and come on, some really great Neuro tracks have vocals.

[@REZZA2020]

Excellent Mix - from a jaded old skooler- nice work !

[@Taken804]

Thanks ND5...appreciate the support. I'm not gonna jump on ziz for the comment...the whole "genre" thing is a little whack to start with. None of the tracks here are what I would consider "Jump Up (Andy C, DJ Fresh, DC Breaks, etc)". I just consider anything "hard" as neurofunk...but some people think "darkstep" or "techstep". I don't know...I just play what i like...peace!

[@Taken804]

Thanks NB...and based on your favorites, I'm sure you approved of Vol. 2! I'm a huge Corrupt Souls fan, I think those guys set the bar for neuro production. Their tracks were deep, complex and filled with texture and emotion. Tastes are so subjective...its hard for me to pinpoint what makes a track click with me. But based on my metal roots, I like a dark and heavy foundation with a melodic synth line and some atmosphere (little elements here and there that add some depth and texture).

[@Taken804]

Thanks Bogdan...I appreciate the props but I'd give this one 3/5 and that's just cause the tracks are really good. Too many spots in this one that I'd like to do over...but it is what it is....thanks for the listen.

[@Taken804]

Hey Lexi...appreciate the excitement. I'm mixing out that long because I want to get used to mixing for what would likely be a show on "radio" or in a set as an open, and because these mixes fit neatly on a cd. Hope you subscribed...new mixes out every two to three weeks. See ya!

[@lamq7215]

My dear sir, this mix is quite dope and spiffing, may I say. This genre really is my 'cup of tea'... if you catch my drift...

[@BajtaStara]

THIS IS AWESOME MAN ! big up from Slovenia !

[@archibaldgoldking]

I dont take another neurofunk mix more ! - Im listen it ...

[@Anolles5]

cant stop listening 2 this... im so hungry...

[@matthewdcroft]

This is a sick Neurofunk mix, man. The music is all quality tracks from respectful artists (Bangin' chewnz!). You've done a great job with the presentation of it, as well. From the track list in the info section, to the track name and artist on the image with every trasition. Even the graphic that vibrates to the EQ is a subtle yet crisp detail that desevers nuff respect. Big ups to you, mate.

[@Taken804]

Ha...I have some Desimal ( Hyperboria, After Life), I just haven't mixed any into a set yet. My Neuro shelf has like 300 tracks on it and I'm working through all my older stuff before I even get into mixing new music sets. But I'm glad you jumped and let me know what you're into. Got a fast DnB set in the works but I'll get back to Neuro soon enough...stay tuned!

[@StickyFingaz6664r]

Nice mix... killer selection! Thx for the tracklist!

[@Taken804]

Thanks...and appreciate the listen!

[@johncraven3382]

You, sir, got subscriber here and on Soundcloud as well. Hard to find electronic music brutal and dark enough...

[@Taken804]

That's what I like to hear...welcome...

[@digitalblizzard9]

Subbed on Soundcloud. Good vibes.

[@Taken804]

Thanks for the support!

[@Norw4x]

Great selection, proper mixing aswell. 10/10!

[@pugnascotia]

Awesome mix! Major thumbs up.

[@Taken804]

thanks for the sub marky mark!

[@javableTo]

sure =) he made a typo in words: "jesztgem" should be "jestem", "slycuham" should be "słucham". Whole sentence shoud looks like this: "taki jestem szczęśliwy, że tego słucham sobie" which means "I'm so happy that I can listen to this" Cheers mate =).

[@Taken804]

hey punky...I'll give it a listen, but I'm not sure how much help I can be, I'm still trying to figure shit out myself. We're all trying to get better and I got a ways to go. And I like some jungle styled stuff, love the frenetic drum lines in a lot of those tracks. Thanks for the listen!!

[@hoyl13]

Very nice mix! Diggin' this quite a bit! Sounds lovely with the harmonic mixing! Been working on that myself. Thanks for the upload!!!!

[@Taken804]

hello again Brennedy...missed you! Hope you've took a listen to some of the other mixes and found my Soundcloud page. xoxo back at you!

[@DaviBaldi]

Wooooo this is very neurofunk shiitt!!! I love iit

[@MrKole94]

[@Neurofunkmind]

[@hebermax222]

Nice work. I loved it!

[@arissokratov964]

FUCKING DISGUSTINGLY SICK. Subscribed no questions asked. MOAR NEUROFUNK all day long. Thanks Taken, I'm an artist and Neurofunk is all I listen to which inspires my work. Keep rawkin' the good stuff.

[@punkydnb]

Thanks for this, because I got one of my mixes blocked as well. Cheers.

[@1111111111aki]

Good work !!! its strong and dark !

[@MrTonylew]

Nice mix man! Every track a winner :)

[@Taken804]

dude...I dropped so many dope tracks into the mix...I just wish I'd mixed it a little tighter...thanks for the listen!

[@archibaldgoldking]

its like a public cafe - dont you think? - and the mix is beautiful...

[@Taken804]

Thanks..just started mixing when I did this one, so I was just picking tracks I love with no regard for whether they were current or not. Plus, I figure a lot of these recent dnb converts could use an education in early neuro...lol.

[@grimblegrumble]

Thanks for reminding me about TrackItDown dude. Haven't been on there for years :P

[@fanrios]

Pure Awesomeness.

[@Taken804]

Thanks for the support...first go at a neuro set...hope you'll check out the later mixes, improving on the delivery...

[@Taken804]

Love that track...this mix has a couple of rough spots but it also has some great moments and a lot of fantastic tracks...imho. Thanks for listening!

[@Taken804]

Thanks!!! Hope you've checked out the other Volumes...still great tracks and my effin' mixing actually gets better!

[@Taken804]

Thanks Nabz! Be sure to check out Vol.2 and Vol.3 as well!

[@DjDarkD]

[@HarlequinLexi]

Holy Shiiit an Hour long!!!? :O AWESOME!

[@Taken804]

Yes...awesome track!

[@Taken804]

Thanks...I'm starting work on a new Neuro set this weekend...maybe 10 days or so before I post though...

[@Taken804]

no problem...thanks for the listen!

[@yobeautiful345]

nice work bro, really heavy!

[@blurpppable]

What a fucking awesome mix, this will accompany me for the next weeks while working. Productivity booster!

[@Taken804]

Thanks dude...I always try to translate and respond in kind, but I couldn't get a translation out of Google. And I appreciate the props, thanks for listening and I hope you'll check out some of the other mixes on my channel. Peace!

[@chipirriti]

Got it! Nice job mate

[@DukeChamberfort]

You put much effort into your mixes, thats awesome mate, most DJs dont even feel like adding a track list :) Subbed
