      Just went in pretty hard on the fabric cds… these are the ones that have stood the test of time so far:

      1. Doc Martin
      2. Craig Richard Fabric 01
      3. Tyler Stadius
      4. Gerd Janson
      5. Bonobo
      6. James Lavelle Fabric Live 01

      I still go to the Patrice Baumel Balance quite often, Defected Presents Nick Curly, JZ Balance, Wiggle for 20 Years (Terry Francis, Nathan Coles & Eddie Richards), Ellen Allien Watergate. Gets a bit of heat on here, but I like what Solomun did with his GU release, two very different mixes.

      I really want the Tennis DJ Kicks to be good, but I feel it’s overrated every time I play it. Matthew Dear, Seinfeld not so bad.

        Mad_Cyril another dj I’ve just never listened to that much of, and I think it sounds quite dated now. Wonder what happened to him?

            gcw still going, he’s playing down the road from me next week with Lottie, Justin Robertson and K-Klass.

              Some great ones there, thanks mate. Picked up Doc Martin, Wiggle and Ellen Alien from that. Nice one.

                Ivan Smagghe ‘Bugged Out Presents! Suck My Deck’ has aged remarkably well.

                gcw Agoria - At The Controls

                I thought this was a bit of a mess when it came out. Had some moments but overall disappointing.

                Had a quick check of it again to see if I’d missed something - nope, still a mess.

                    rhouses listened to Doc Martin yesterday on the strength of your recommendation. Smooth, trippy and very enjoyable

                      Saw Doc Martin play at Fabric years ago and he was ace.

                      Cheers!

                        hugopal I think that is generally his thing though isn’t it, playing different genres etc. Sometimes it works. His Balance has some brilliant parts, but also some rather odd sections too
