hugopal maybe that’s the problem, they are trying to stick to the same old formula that’s now redundant aka mix cds, regardless of the DJs they bring in.

TBH I don’t know what they should do instead, am guessing it should be online, digital stuff. But how do they distinguish something different to all the other online mixes, no idea. Do they still do the concept of the mix coming from a club night? That at least was something slightly unique.

I’ve enjoyed our time in the weeds, it’s not as bad as people make out!

      As highlighted in a previous post, Spotify has a remarkable paucity of full length dj mixes.

      The Watergate series is good.

      Some of the Balance mixes are on there.

        Fuck Spotify off Dave. MySpace for mixed comps.

        Buy all uncle johns CDs and your life will be remarkably less miserable (hoodies, mugs, mouse-mats and pens will also help)

            Although, given the shite that’s about, it not being on Spotify could be a massive bonus!

            I do do Soundcloud as well.

            I think the last Bedrock CD I bought was Chris Fortier (excellent it was too, but a long time ago).

                Great. You can access the bilge I pump out as well.

                Listen to it whilst reading Hugo’s posts and watching Kemi on PMQ’s for maximum enjoyment 👌

                  I don’t know, but considering that on youtube there are lots of complete live recorded mixes from sort of club nights eg Boiler Room sets and recordings from festivals and special events like Arte Concert, Dekmantel etc., the concept of a mix coming from a club night also isn’t as unique any more.

                  Releasing physical CDs and related items is actually one of the very few things that still distinguishes GU from other mostly digital-only content out there.

                      at risk of going further into the weeds with you, you realise that most of the GU’s after 007 are Pro Tool’d the fuck out of and not recorded live from the club, right?

                          Dry-Tinder Mix? Oslo sounds like a preview mix like the ones Digweed puts out before one of his mix CD releases.

                              He re-recorded it after the gig and didn’t even tell GU until after the release. I suppose the other issue is copyright issues if the mix has already been done and people start demanding mega money. The ones pre-Sydney do feel more like mixtapes, which I quite like, especially the Nick Warren one.

                                Well, a lot of people here were asking for another MMII. What’s wrong with a proper, well thought out mix by the likes of Sasha and Digweed? Apart from sales.

                                  Yes. I was just responding to MC’s comment that GU has “the concept of the mix coming from a club night”. If you have an issue with the phrasing then take it up with him.

                                  My point was given there are so many mixes now available actually taken directly from nights, then the idea of basing a mix around a club night seems less of a selling point.

                                      If only it was. Tenaglia’s set was better than the gu by miles

                                      Have either of them done a mix CD in the last 20 years that matched the ones that they did in the 90s? Them Live In mixes may be great in a club at the time, but at home, they sounded shite.

                                      I tried listening to Transitions every week for a while, but with the exception of some of the live ones I didn’t think that they were that great. The only other difference for me was many of the 90s releases were listened to at after-parties and got a lot more plays. I don’t think that I would even contemplate putting a Live In on at an After-party. That 96 Zen mix was probably played around mine at afters every weekend between 1997 till around 2001.

                                      It would be interesting to know what Ed puts on at his afters these days.

                                          Dry-Tinder Yes, the live in mixes haven’t been close to the planned sets. Would be great if they did produce something like the 90s planned mixes, but would they bother?
