First time sharing a mix in the VDJ community. I recorded a reggae/dancehall mix. It has slight hip hop in it, as well as reggae/dubstep in the end of it. Hope you all enjoy!

Fun tracks choice!!
Few little hints for the next:
- Go easy on the sampler and effects
- Mind energy drops, sometimes after the transition, like around 3.30 the energy drops to a slightly too large contrast
- And as last hint, the last two tracks aren't dubstep, its drum 'n bass. (this -> http://i.mixcloud.com/CBg6GD is roots dubstep, this -> http://i.mixcloud.com/CCGEwJ is DnB / Ragga Jungle)
Keep on doing the good work!

Thanks for the reply man!
I honestly used one sample in the intro. I did loop a bit of vocals throughout the mix if that's what you mean by having many samples. As far as effects...the buildup starting at 32:00 was on the fly...its not just a thrown on build up though ya know. But yea the second effect was a bit much. And I used one echo effect

I grew Up on reggae and Dancehall, comming from a mixed family, where on my Dad's side, i have Caribbean, and on my mum's side, i do not know as she was adopted. Anyway, i always hear one or two vocal samples like "A Big Tune" or "[Mix]" and then a couple laser sounds and airhorn sounds. So therefore i think that DJ Bertie is well within his right to use samples whenever he feels is right.
