I want to start sharing stuff I've been finding inspiring throughout this amazing ride that is mixing music. For the 1st one, I'll borrow the words from Tama Sumo as interviewed by Resident Advisor (https://www.residentadvisor.net/features/2357 - great read!).
"Well, my mixing style is pretty basic. I love to let the music speak and like to give the records time to tell their story. I am not the effect or gimmick kind of DJ and except for playing around a bit with the isolator or equalizer I don't interfere much with the music when the record is playing. I learned mixing by doing it, and there was not any particular advice that I got that was an eyeopener. "
