Please save all mitigation arguments for the hearing, Mr Smallman.

Ed’s “front door”
What a fucking shitshow DHL has been. My CD shipped on the 24th of February. It didn’t even leave UK before the 5th of March and has now not moved from a warehouse in Germany for two days. Last time I pay them extra for a tracked package.
A tracked package from Brexit Britain? Might as well have thrown your money in the sea, H.

Lol. At least they are keeping you up to date of their complete incompetence
I’ve listened to the Bandcamp-version twice already, so clearly I disagree. I just get the CDs because of it’s the only thing I collect.
Ive had the CD for a week now and not bothered listening to it yet, based on all these reviews. lol
One observation. The packaging has been downgraded from the Quattro releases. Feels like it’s been put together by the work experience kid.

Listen to disc 3 once and then bin the lot.
His latest apple mix is 
Really not sure what to make of that mix. Plus a lot of his post lockdown mixes TBH. Seems like he has this hard techno “wonky” sound that comes across in a lot of his mixes. Maybe thats what pull in the crowds, but to me its soulless, lacking melody, lacking any edge, lacking a heads down groove and lacking any ethereal break from the madness.
Even scroll back to Quattro, tracks like DJ Sadie “Hypnoticka” . Driving, relentless , tops off coalface house (Qtd. E.Smallman Esq.) . Manis. Beatless versions of tracks thrown into the mix to add diversity. I don’t hear this coming through in the Apple mixes which is sad as he’s obvs got in in his locker. I also thought he’d change type to a degree post the Bunkers and try a few other things. A new “Choice” type CD maybe. Maybe Bunkers “Live” at smaller venues. I bought tickets for the Bedrock event in April so hope to god it ain’t this garbage.
What do I know. He’s obviously a very shrewd business man and knows what crowd he has to appeal to nowadays with his “sound” to keep the coin coming in, but would be nice if he spiced things up a bit going forward.

this sums up my thoughts. it’s like he’s trying to play odd records for the sake of it and maybe that works live, but it makes for an awful home listening experience. which would be the entire point of mix cds.
Totally agree. Interested to hear if this “sound” works on the floor. Its like a harder Dixon/Ame “wonky” sound….not in a good way.
Let’s be honest. His core market now is South America. Thought they were more into driving, proggier stuff.

Not before the 6 hour mark
