  • Mixed Comps You Instantly Associate with Specific Forum Members

What are some of those mixed comps that instantly bring to mind a specific forum member? Be they past or present, we’ve all known or been one of those guys, or gals, who just has to put in our two cents whenever a certain title comes up.

The all time heavyweight champ for me is Polo Mojo’s Balance and @Homegrove I remember him stannig the fuck out of that one right from the jump. TBF all I remember about the actual mix was that is was deemed all over the place for its day, so may have to give a re-listen in HG’s honor.

A close second would be James Lavelle GU Romania and @rhouses God did he ever love that one. I remember him saying to me zackster bro, did you clock the newest Lavelle GU? It is pure fire bro! When big bad J Lizzle steps up to the wheels of steel, you know he is going to be doing only the freshest of mixing. Be doing your fly self a favor, and press play on that bad boy now, my wacky dog!

Anyways, what are some of ya’lls fav poster/mixed comp associations?

    zackster Edward I think is a big fan of Oaky No 7 putting to one side for a moment his obsession with Ibiza CD1.

        Dave always does a messy in his tangos over anything The Scumfrog or Timo Maas has put their name to IIRC. I always think of Hanners whenever Yoshiesque 1 or 2 are mentioned.

        You have the hit the nail on the head Baggers, my two faves of all time!

          Will the Lego Man haircut ever make a comeback?

          Dixon is currently rocking it good sir.

          Am seeing him on Saturday at Printworks.

          Hold tight for feedback!

            Ed will always be associated with GU London for me. The tracklist revelations of two weeks past are still suck in my head.

              Ed, why do I never see you wax philosophic about any of the Dixon mixed comps? Hannu has mentioned that at least one is quite good, in his opinion.

                His Body Language is a classic, Temporary Secretary is very good, Live at Robert Johnson ends when it finally gets going.

                They’re all hit and miss chief.

                  This is the best Dixon (and Ame) mix you’ll find online -

                  You’re welcome.

                  There’s a Carl Craig Renaissance Masterpiece compilation I bought without even thinking twice, because I was a huge fan of his At Les remix at the time and because the Andrew Weatherall mix on the same series was gold. The moment I hit play on Disc 1 I realized it was a massive mistake. It was the kind of techno where you put a couple of rocks in a tin can and then hand it to toddler to play with. Proper ear bleed noise. The most random shit. I would hesitate to label it music even.

                  I still have the disc 2 and 3 mixes and all the singles in my download list on Beatport because I haven’t touched them since. Goes without saying, I immediately associated this compilation with Zackster.
