This is what Deeplomatik had to say about the 5 semi-finalists:
"All 5 mixes are at a great level and showcase advanced DJing skills - quality all around! I paid attention to a few skills and elements that should be present in a professional mix, such as:
- Track selection
- Mixing in phrases
- Key mixing
- Overall sound quality of the mix
- Feeling and live nuances of transitions
- Additional skills (scratches, DJ tools, acapella's)
- Creativity
But above all that, these days I'm looking for true and honest live DJing. Even with a slightly incorrect mix or dynamics, if it has that live touch of a human that we can hear in the mix, that's what counts."
1st place:
Mix 11 (Paul Law POPS) https://www.house-mixes.com/profile/Paul%20Law%20POPS/deep-house-aug-2023
"Nice straightforward selection, a straight groove, and yes, I can clearly hear a human DJing here. I can hear the nuances of mixing between two tracks. Maybe the phrase mixing could be improved a bit, as well as the dynamic of the mixes. But I really feel this mix!"
2nd place:
Mix 02 (MiguelYobless) https://www.house-mixes.com/profile/MiguelYobless/deep-house-aug-2023
"Nice selection, a warm and fat sound, the transitions and mixes are correct but not surprising. Keys of tracks sound matched. Mixing in phrases could be improved a bit."
3rd place:
Mix 19 (DJ Da Wick) https://www.house-mixes.com/profile/DJ%20Da%20Wick/deep-house-aug-2023
"Nice selection, creative use of acapellas and DJ tools, but overall, it sounds too polished in the mix. Fast transitions and a lot of tracks packed in 30 minutes make it feel a bit pre-prepared or made in a DAW, which deducts some points. The buildup of the mix's drama is good, but the energy seems to plateau around 3/4 of the way through. Good quality sound in the mix."
4th place:
Mix 14 (KninoDj) https://www.house-mixes.com/profile/KninoDj/deep-house-aug-2023
"Nice selection, but the mixes are too stretched. You can hear the beats in and beat out of each track. No phrase mixing, And there's a recurring FX or sample (like a flanger or phaser on the beat) that sounds like it's made in a DAW or it's unnecessary to repeat it in multiple transitions."
5th place:
Mix 07 (DJ In10so) https://www.house-mixes.com/profile/DJ%20In10so/deep-house-aug-2023
"The selection isn't bad, but it seems like there's chaos in the harmony during transitions. Maybe the tracks should be sorted by key in a more proper order. Also, phrase mixing needs improvement!"
