  • New Live In Stereo Montreal from Digweed.

LT42 I honestly have no idea what people are looking for anymore.

Peak time wrecking ball POWER prog for me Liqui.

LT42 great point. This mix has grown on me a lot since first listen. There is the odd ropey track in there but also some great sections.

I’ve enjoyed the live Fabric mixes on the past few episodes of Transitions more than this one.
So IMHO he should have released that instead.

Thanks.

I was convinced I had slung my copy of the 2016 Montreal mix, but I have just found it in a box next to South Beach. Both now off to the charity shop.

Does anyone still listen to any of these Live In mixes?

    Amps I bought the Montreal CD, don’t think I ever got round to listening to it all the way through. It prob went in the bin when I last moved

    Amps I think I’ve listened to them all once maybe? Never been hugely impressed with any of them.

      Yeah, me too. I’ve bought a few over the years, listened to them a few times, then they just gathered dust. That music may have worked well in the club, but not for home listening.

        I’ve listened to the first Montreal-mix through several times, all 10+ hours of it.

          I’ve done the same with many John Talabot 7+ sets. A good build is fantastic for me. At least Digweed gets going three hours in.

          Homegrove same here, it’s a fantastic set and the best of the Live In series. The first London mix prob 2nd best IMO

            gcw yeah, feel the same way. The Fabric-one is probably my third favorite, and if I am not mistaken the only one besides Slovenia that’s the whole gig.

            I was at the night in Fire and it was briliant albeit we were packed into the room like sardines. Listening back on the CD just doesn’t capture it. I’m sure its the same for all the releases. Amarali was great that night too.

            The Fire night was absolutely fucking class.

            Defo my favourite Live In mix too

            Fire 2012 (I was there) and Montreal 2016 (I was not there) are both great mixes

            Dry-Tinder same here, I bought the first few, then gave up and just streamed the mixes when they landed.

            I was also at the Fire night.

            Unbelievable Jeff!

            I was DJing at a mate’s 40th and missed it. Wasn’t HP, especially when the CD came out.

            Cordoba and London for me. The rest are shit.

              8 days later

              I finally got to the end of it the other day (I forgot I even owned it!), and its pretty good all round I think.

              I think from half way it picks up and does build quite nicely.

              There’s a few “padding” tunes, if you know what I mean, which don’t add anything, other than noise - so I can’t help wondering would the Live In series have worked better, if it was on less discs, meaning only the good tunes made the cut? Or is here more to compiling a mix album than I know? Very likely!

              But I do think its one of the better ones, though I’d still prefer another Northern Exposurey or Renaissancey type of thing.
