Now ya talking. Comfy pants & baggy t-shirts.
How the fuck did we get here
Loved that EP…lol
Used to drop this on the end Ruhe.
baggers44 Reykjavik, Miami, Sander K, Satoshi, Burridge… all 2001 onwards, all great mixes. Probably belongs in the unpopular mixes thread, but I enjoyed Singapore, Barcelona, and Trafik stuff too. The real fall from grace came with Jim Rivers & Sultan onwards.
Fabric always had the edge and longevity because of the diversity and a way more mature sound overall (mostly because the BPMs were not obnoxious).

vinnyt77 I left the states end of 2005, so my access to GU was pretty limited after that. Not once did I go out of my way to have friends bring a GU mix down to India for me. Fabric and Balance however, I absolutely needed those in my collection up until 2010. They pretty much ruined the board as well, right when everyone ridiculed them for the Sultan mix. Couldn’t believe they killed the board, seemed like their #1 marketing tool.
Cocaine is a helluva drug, I guess (in regards to the “fat lads” or whatever they were called).
I used to go round Chris Bourne’s flat and smoke pot in the mid 90s. Klang!

Thought T&R were a fantastic combo. This was my fave of his on his own. Immense at Tyrant.
Yeah, it did cross my mind. Athens isn’t one of my favourite mixes, but even I know Seduction of Orpheus, probably because it is the most un-Tilt track that they ever did. His reaction videos reminded me of the early doors videos of Sasha, at the Cathedral last weekend. You have these dudes running in through the doors, cutting shapes and largin’ it on an empty dance floor like it is peak time, not because the tune is brilliant, but because they feel that it’s an expression that they are really into it. Maybe that makes me Jaded.
The track is shit compared I dream anyway. Was temporarily cool cos Tenaglia played it. The French tit with the nasal twine sample is deeply annoying

in 1998 i was received from prison. some of my rascal friends who loved the peruvian told me about the global underground sasha 009. I paid hundred dollars just for it to ship to Almaty in those times. Even though I am mostly a hard acid techno person it was very much enjoyable until that libra calling your name track came on. Then I was so determinedly revolted that I took the two cds, urinated on them, and threw myself under a towtruck and, for certain, broke one of my rib.
When I moved to England to do some business, I met an east london cockney and his girlfriend was getting the white fainting face after smoking 3.5 grams of the skunk. I thought this was very strange as I know warriors from Karaganda who smoke the 30 gram zoot and wanted to get into battle with new york mcs. So this is all very vague, but anyway he put this on before his jose padilla mix and then sure as the midnight follows the daytime, the calling your name libra track came on. when he asked me why I was going all white faced in horror despite not smoking the skunk like his girlfriend, I didn’t know how to articulate myself. I said, it is the girls voice. It is sounding like high school musical corney drama. I cannot imagine how grown men enjoy this. It has occult power, somehow. And he turned round to me and said, so you’re saying this music is nonce thelema? Now of course, I was not willing to go that far, but I had heard of Crowley in the Almaty underworld, we had to use mind manipulation on kleptocrats after all. But since then I have been traumatised, much more than when other big man put neadles in my pum pum in 1995 in the jail because we sold more products than his putrid gang.
