BlainSA It’s what happens when you don’t take life too seriously, Hugo. Try it one day when you’re not writing War and Peace style posts

Lol!

    Have given both CDs of JVM’s Bedrock release a listen practically back to back for the first time in never and CD2 is def the better of both discs, though the offbeat mixes did initially grate. The best of the Bedrock CD mixes for sure. Quality stuff.

      I’ve only listened to it once, because of this. Doesn’t add anything to the mix for me. In fact, detracts from an otherwise great selection of tunes.

          vinnyt77 I just put it down to trying to have a style rather than a mistake. See Tyrant CD1 Hear dis sound which is unforgivable for me. Have heard Digweed and Sasha pull off some interesting -4, +2, +4 beat mixes many times live which helped to make the mixes more percussive. These Bedrock mixes were not Tyrant CD1 bad for me. As a whole I thought the mix was better.

          Completely get what you’re saying. Normally a big turn off for me too.

              BlainSA I’m not against the idea per se - just don’t think it did anything in this mix.

              I think it’s one of Digweed’s mixes from 1998 - live from 3beat maybe? There’s an off-beat mix from the Jam + Spoon mix of far above the clouds into a Cabala track on Whoop!.

              It’s fucking amazing. Used to listen to that transition back time and again to figure out how/why he did it, and why -when I was first learning to spin.

                  Realised I’ve used the wrong terminology. I meant off beat as in 2nd beat.

                  I remember someone telling me about Seb Fontaine doing an ‘amazing’ off beat mix and how it sounded like some crazy build up, but I just couldn’t give him the credit and thought he’d fucked it up and just went with it.

                  vinnyt77 Nice. Would appreciate a share if you have it mate.

                  And yes, there wasn’t anything musically impressive with the 2nd beat mixes, I agree.

                      zackster

                      I don’t think that they ripped off Digweed, I believe that GU acquired rights to tracks on GU mixes and never paid up. I believe they were mainly tracks off Nick Warren’s Budapest mix. The artist posted about it on GU’s forum. TBH, think that they were trying to get permissions for free to save money.

                      The 24/7 releases were both supposed to be part of the City Series, but became 27/7’s to reduce costs. Both artists and Sander, stated that they were due to do 2003 GU City mixes in the 2002 DJ Mag Top 100 DJ’s

                          All killer, no filler.

                          Dry-Tinder I am telling you guys, Digweed flat out said they bought a boat instead of paying him. Maybe he was referring to others but I am almost positive he was talking about himself. I think he said it on the Bedrock forum.

                              Fairly sure I recall hearing /seeing that somewhere too
