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.
