  • Most Enduring Commercial Mix Comps

There was a whole other angle to the DT RH party with me completely blowing it with a girl who I was head over heels for. Hawtin was on for like 15 min, and she kept trying to drag me back to the apartment. Convinced that my getting pussy outfit of J Crew slim fit chinos and vintage Plastikman Tee I bought off eBay had more than done its job, I opted to stay. I distinctly remember walking past the aforementioned queue at 7:30am, smelling the mid summer piss and vomit smells of Manhattan and thinking “I might have fucked up here.” Get back to find her blacked out in bed with all of her girl friends. At lunch the next day her friend confirmed my fears that I blew what was probably my only chance. I say with little humor that it haunts me to this day.

    zackster File under ‘learning experience’, feel better for it.

      I’m sure she was very attractive, Zack, but I don’t blame you. I mean, who could resist faces like these:


      Danny T looking like Bill Murray and the Moon had a child.

        I think about getting back into therapy, just to tell my analyst this story, and when I get to the “Danny Tenaglia just came on” part, he or she underlines “faggot” on their note pad while nodding.

          Dan agreed. Hardly my favorite, but a very safe bet. Never had a bad time, and reads a room very well.

            Carl Craig. One of the many beneficiaries of CDJs, mixing software, and sync. Dude could not mix a gin and tonic the few times I saw him in the ’90’s.

            As a producer, he’s an all timer.

            The path to true love never did run smooth Zackster.

            And ultimately she missed out.

            On a life of horrendous techno and meeting me at Output.

            Yours, as always, Ed!

            loved this when it first came out, was a whole different sound to me back then. Sounds great still in my opinion

              @Smallman1 lol yeah thing is, she is now married to some older Japanese dude who works for the NY Times, and looks like he is out of central casting (as Don would say) for the role of yakuza boss in a Jerry Bruckheimer film.

              So yes, she did miss out.

              The bonus disc from Way Out West’s “Don’t Look Now” almost made my list.

                RichM Not sure I ever heard the mix, but have all the vinyl from these releases. Some great stuff on there.

                  zackster Haven’t listened to it in ages, but maybe got more listens than the album?

                      Still listen to….

                      Tom Middleton - Sounds of the Cosmos
                      EBTG - Back to mine
                      Oakenfold - Ministry Sessions 2
                      David Harness - Nude Dimensions Vol 2
                      Holloway & Eastwick - Hard Times Seasons (Green)
                      X Press 2 - Late night sessions

                        Smallman1 Oakey’s 007 is the compilation I most return to.

                        And without naming names, someone in this very thread hasn’t ever heard it, I’m staying schtum though!

                        I’ve genuinely listened to disc 2 of that about 4 times this week. I suspect you’ll struggle to process that information.

                            Amps I was joking as I don’t know RichM, so I didn’t want to bust his balls. Nothing, and I mean NOTHING has aged worse than mid 00s prog breaks.

                                Mad_Cyril This probably would have been 6 on my list. One of my all time favorites and I think it has held up wonderfully.

                                    Hugo, you’ve gone up in my estimation!
