Disc 2s of Superior Quality

ScottBailey

vinnyt77 100%.

Loved Perception as a tune, but felt square peg / round hole at this point in the mix. Always felt it would have worked better at the end of the mix…

zackster Seem to remember they sent a first run of it to Burridge and he told them it was good but it could be better, so they got back to it and voila.

zackster after your review of 006, I’m not holding my breath…

zackster

Finding this thread to be a lot like 006 Disc 1. Started off strong , hit an unnecessary lull, has a big Tenaglia moment in the middle, and ends up in an unexpected trancey place.

Phil-McRackin

ScottBailey imho of course!

Phil-McRackin all good mate 🙂

A lol for those who think 007 is awful because of the mixing.

Absolute amateurs!

303abuser

Smallman1 do you think it’s well-mixed? or well-programmed, for that matter?

Smallman1

I just think the tunes are fucking brilliant 303.

Who’d have thunked it?!

303abuser

that doesn’t make it a good mix, especially when there’s absolutely no fit from one track to the next. he didn’t even fill the most basic duties of a dj. enjoy it, but it’s a shit mix and there’s no debating it.

ScottBailey

303abuser DT does the same thing. One minute you’re listening to Motown edit, the next it’s panel beating techno. Still doesn’t make it any less of a mix. So long as the tunes are half decent, the mixing can be forgivable. It’s not as if Oakey has gone his whole career without people questioning his mixing skills. Same can be said of Carl Cox.

303abuser

ScottBailey he’s supposed to be a professional. it’s like ordering a gourmet 4 course meal and it shows up stirred together in a bowl. the ingredients maybe the best, but it’ll taste like shit. that’s 007 (assuming you think the ingredients are all good, which they aren’t). again, people can like it, that’s not the argument. as a mix, it’s a technical and programming nightmare. literally anyone on the planet can put random songs together and mix them poorly.

Smallman1

Someone call 303 a taxi.

303abuser

Smallman1 much like amps with disc 2 of 006, i’ll die on this hill. if you think 007 is a good mix, you simply aren’t listening, don’t know what to listen for, or your bar is so low that you don’t care. it’s objectively bad.

Millsy

303abuser a dig at Damo is uncalled for mate!

ScottBailey

303abuser I’m not disputing that the mixing isn’t on par with others. Not trying to say it’s a masterpiece either, I’m just saying it’s not a shit mix (in my opinion). It’s an interesting collection of tracks that probably not a lot of others had or were playing at that point in time, but ended up copying later.

It’s better than listening to an hour long of perfectly mixed drab. All subjective of course…

You called??

303abuser

Millsy he had it coming.

Homegrove

Amps yes , that is indeed the issue.

303abuser

ScottBailey fair enough, but it’s a really poor effort. a professional should be objectively much, much better when it comes to flow, technical transitions, programming, and ensuring the sum is greater than the parts. he failed on every account, which is my problem. a bedroom dj puts out this mix, i have no issue with it.

just to add, this is basically my point. oakenfold’s entire career was predicated on timing. if he shows up 10-15 years later, there’s no way any of us would have even heard of him. he’s like tong, contributed early in the scene, but really isn’t any good.

Zacko is one helluva fisherman 💪

Heno

Mad_Cyril he’s not the only one! Loads of baiting !!

303abuser

Mad_Cyril lol i guarantee you could put those tracks together in a more interesting way and better mixed. might be a good board mix contest, see who can put gu007 together better than oakey. although with that track selection, you back is already up against the wall. 🤣
