bosstrabs 10/10 (or 0/10 if you’re Hugo or some other bore)

How would I give 0/10 to a mix featuring Slacker ‘Scared’ and Brainbug ‘Nightmare’?!

Seems like you really don’t know me that well.

    bosstrabs will relisten. Had one of the best nights of my young clubbing life with them going back to back for four hours at Clockwork Orange at Es Paradis that same year. Finished off with Atlantic Ocean Waterfall as I recall.

        Dave, what are the odds on this thread becoming a “This is my favourite Essential Mix of all time” thread? Or a “My best Night ever in Ibiza was….” thread? Or a “Live essential mixes were better than studio mix essential mix weeds” thread?

          Brainbug Nightmare 🤣

          LT42 monged casuals at that point, having the best night of their miserable lives

          😂

            Amps Link us up UMB, some of us might like to listen along.

            I don’t know if I can post links to torrents here, apologies @mono-stereo

              OK, so joking aside, this probably is a genuine 10.

              One of the best drum n bass mixes I’ve heard, big drums everywhere (especially Photek’s Ni Ten Ichi Ryu). Relentless liquid funk and big, dark drums.

                Dave laying his soul to bare.

                Feel like I’m rubbernecking.

                Is there a safe word?

                  I don’t know if I can do the whole year. Can I hand the baton over to someone else for the Feb mixes? @Mad_Cyril ?

                    Mad_Cyril not sure, but I absolutely want him to stop

                      Talking of 1997, Michael Jordan was on the verge of his second three-peat. Did you get the tattoo around this time or after he had completed the feat?

                      Are you trying to reduce me, David? Have at you!

                        Dave’s completely underestimated poor old jonny whatever his name was’ time spent doing a review of ess mixes for an entire year. You need to rank them all too.

                        Have to say though, I expected you to make it further than the 26th January, dave!

                        Take 5 mins, abuse ed and get back into it. It’ll be March before you know it…

                        Not sure I could do it Dave, you’ve made a terrific start, got that viral Netflix documentary vibe - we’re not sure where this is going, but can sense the protagonist is a wrongun and it’s likely not going to end well.

                          I think Dave’s cream crackered already because he hasn’t reviewed a single PEAK TIME POWER PROG mix.

                            Do you understand how chronology works Smallman?

                              I know of this bloke’s ‘legendary’ status, but this is a horrid mix of clunky vocal tracks and clumsy segues e.g. Get Up into This Could Be The Night. With big vocals and pianos everywhere, this is like listening to a shit Morales. 6/10
