Just having some fun, Hugo. I’ll reply to the rest when I’m home. It’s a very long process getting through these 110/112 whatever hours of music - much of it very bad - and multiple listens for some.
I stand by the top 10 or so. After that I have to group mixes together for my own sanity. If people have issues with it well go ahead and listen to these mixes on your own then. It’s not fun! Is number 40 or whatever better than 32? Sure. Maybe. But keeping them in like-minded groupings made sense to me.
The Dave Clarke mix is just a racket. And I consider myself a fan. By 2004 mixing and technique had gotten too good to tolerate cheap crossfader tricks and drunken record smashing. He plays good tracks. But the presentation was headache-inducing. Like a two-hour root canal.
EDIT oh and I might pass on 2000 as I think I already know what’ll be #1. No fun in that.
