Good tune that. Used to play the Gee Shock mix quite a bit. Oddly, the Trancesetters mix was probably my least favorite and I was a big fan of Jark Prongo/Pssst/other aliases they had at the time.

      Saw Deep Dish at Amnesia alongside Darren Emerson and Justin Robertson, may have been 2001 actually.

      Lovely stuff!

        Smallman1 Darren Emerson was decent around then to, sound skin is Darren put us on the guest list for pacha after meeting him

            Heno flash dance came out

            They started playing that in 2003, so you could say it was over then. It’s twice on the Amsterdam GU Toronto-release party-recording. 😔

                It used to go off in the clubs (not that I played it), but I do agree. I have the vinyl though. 😃

                  His Underwater residency at The End was absolutely superb, one of my faves.

                    Homegrove I didn’t know it was them when I first heard it out. It defo went off, then it got played in every off license and supermarket I walked in to.

                      The only Deep Dish mix I have ever heard is Toronto. It’s awful iircc. They get the big s to the werve from me.

                        Stone cold classic Ess Mix:

                        What little I ever saw/heard about these, I loved them. I think I caught them at Shindig, heard a CD here or there and then I stopped hearing about them. They were loved in the North East.

                        Saw them a couple of times at Bedrock and they were ace. Then I heard one of their mixes from a later appearance at Bedrock and it was dreadful. It was the one with ’DDD - Let’s go’ on it.

                        Yoshiesque 1 and 2 were superb. Two of my favourite mix CDs ever.

                        There was also a Deep Dish ‘Cream Separates’ CD around this time that was solid. In fact, that whole mini-series is often overlooked. Paul Bleasdale put out one that was very good.

                        Moscow and Toronto were, unfortunately, dogshit.

                        If you’re seeking out more similar stuff from slightly later than that period, I’ve recommended it before, in my view one of the most underrated Essential Mixes ever:

                          They went downhill fast with Flash Dance and when they tied up with Puff Daddy/Tommy Lee for whatever garbage they put out. And I can’t say any of their mixes did anything for me, though my first GU purchase was Moscow and I did enjoy it for a short time. During my internship with BPM magazine, I was their ‘bitch’ for an event, sweet fellas and they were going pretty hard in the green room. Can still smell the ‘coco puffs’ in that room.

                          Admittedly my vinyl collection is full of Yoshitoshi stuff. I once made a massive purchase from their site, and they ended up sending me doubles by mistake. Still have a bunch of them sealed. Some of the in house we trust mixes weren’t bad. Can’t find it on YouTube, but Brother Brown’s Brotha Brotha is such a banger of a track.

                            You can’t have spent much time looking.

                            Sounds a bit dull though tbh, they’ve def made better (Under the Water, Slap Me Some Skin).
