GU 47 Joseph Capriati Montreal
RichM 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 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?
Even the Oakenfold ones weren’t recorded at the club, this was part of the recording from the New York GU gig

The Oslo one was also done afterwards as he probably train-wrecked each mix.
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?
The funny thing is, I love what Sasha is playing at the moment, I’ve loved his live sets more than I have for a long time. The LA and Barcelona sets have been on constant rotation this year, along with his Estonia set from last year. It probably helps that I have been going clubbing a lot more as well, if I recognise some tracks it at least leaves a lasting memory.

I don’t put anything on at my afters, if anything, I take it off.
Oi oi!
