Disc 2s of Superior Quality
Ya man. The club was sooooo good back then. Every refurb afterwards made it worse and worse
Sarcasm detector broken. Late night last night lol
Heavyweights like Junior Vasquez don’t play lame ass songs about math!
Would slide into Ruhe (Humate Remix) like butter.
JV was an insipid cunt but he could put down a fun set even if the mixing is piss poor. It’s likely because he’s gay.
zackster Don’t doubt it. Just really conscious that 98/99 was around the time the GU series really got going, and it coincided with:
1) the massively increased availability of chatboards like GU, with trainspotters discussing every record a DJ player
2) access to the likes of Napster, making sharing of live DJ recordings so much more common
Basically, those things together meant there was really no such thing as an unknown track on any of these GU mixes. It also meant you got to hear what a DJ REALLY sounded like live, which in a lot of cases, was really not good.

zackster saw him there.
Nick’s home baked Mixsaka.
jonattonyeah i just can’t get into it. If there is one style I absolutely hate it is the ny, long island, whatever house. Just atrocious.
Fair. I used to hate it but warmed up in recent years.
jonattonyeah
You hear me girl
jonattonyeah Get your hands off my man!
LT42 Nothing wrong with 006 disk one, it’s more than decent, perfectly mixed flows well… but, with 006 disk two you’re hearing something genuinely unique… John at the height of his powers, playing his toughest as fuck stuff, not for the faint hearted, flowing like each track was written for the next, and in a vintage year before the internet ruined everything… the stuff on disk two is proto vortex, proto muscular, fluxing in some ethereal doorway between the panel beaters from Prague and the dayglow kids of Sheffield. It makes my balls tighten.
Plus, it genuinely represents what the he sounded like at that time, I’m not sure all GU defo did that? Saw a lot of John around 98, and it was with the disk two stuff that he was fucking clobbering dancefloors. If you’d seen him play a set of that stuff, you’d still be cunting on about it now, as I am. Tops off? you’d fuckin skin yourself and swing from Ed’s neck.
If you like the stuff from the late 90s, or if the Sasha set from The Bomb does anything for you, I’d urge you to give it more than a couple of listens, it’s fuckin sublime and on par with anything from those years. Hard, driving, epic, ethereal, boom boom woosh!
