What was your overall approach to constructing a Toolroom mix?

The tracks for this compilation were selected on the basis of tracks I was into and what I was playing at the time of selection. It also features some Toolroom releases and of course some of my productions. I keyed all the tracks and mixed both discs with Ableton Live.

Do you feel that you’ve achieved what you set out to with the mix?

I am really happy with this mix. I would say it is my favourite compilation to date. I think I achieved exactly what I intended with it.
