LT42

This is both enduring and still relevant

LT42 Back in the day when Burridge didn’t play fluffy poolside house. Good pick!

Not a fan then !?

I guess by doozy you mean someone with superior taste and knowledge; thanks.

zackster

Matty the doozy was your list. I’m sure you do have excellent taste, but ur list was beyond off the mark.

303abuser Matty Balance 019 - Henry Saiz

love this one too.

It’s pure class, although he’s not hit those heights before of since.

alistair

Matty have to disagree mate. Natura Sonoris is excellent. In fact, I am reminded to give it another listen

303abuser

Matty yeah i’d agree with that. saw him live at stereo 6 years ago and he was decent enough, but had a live drummer for the first hour or so that completely ruined it.

zackster

Homegrove Vol 2 especially has a crazy build near the end.

Not the vortex?!

What was wide of the mark. ? Without question some of the greatest comps that in many cases transition the years.

I put Henry Saiz in the same category as Guy J and High Earning Hernan Cattaneo.

Horrific.

alistair

Smallman1 That’s the perfect word to describe Paul Oakenfold and his GU mixes.

303abuser

Smallman1 if you still think gu007 is representative of good mixing, your opinion is basically worthless.

I have to admit I see it differently Smalls, after 25 years of listening I’m loving the Hernan sound the past two years and especially his sets with Nick Warren.

I know I’ll get some stick from those that haven’t listened to it and this set from Barutana last year is one of the very best I’ve ever heard ;

To be fair - the Oakenfold mix was recorded live (not the actual live set but a recreation in the studio which is how the GUs were done back in the day)

alistair

303abuser He’s a solid producer. I played his latest EP on LNOE is a fair few times. He does have an ear for a pretty melody. Technically on another level to Oakie as a dj

Matty

303abuser

His YouTube channel shows have been a bit hit and miss, mostly the latter, although did enjoy some of his beach club sets as a guilty
pleasure.

I thought he was bound for greatness

303abuser

alistair thanks, i’ll check that out.

zackster

Matty The Tom Middleton mix is the only one I would say sounds even remotely relevant. Many of the others are indeed great but aren’t filled with what I would call “current sounds”. Please reread my initial post to better understand the RFQ.

Smallman1

I’m not sure anyone’s suggesting Oakey’s a brilliant mixer.

Quite the opposite actually.

303abuser

Matty he borders on almost pop music at times, can’t say i go out of my way to listen to him these days.

Matty

303abuser

cant say I agree, I love the big prog sound with loads of melody and highs and lows.

I don’t think he’s transitioned well onto the mix comp CD for some reason except for the Renaissance Masters Series 17 which was superb.

Over the past few years though including his sets from Forja and the absolutely stunning set with Nick Warren at ADE he’s been the only DJ I get genuinely exciting to hear.

303abuser

Matty yeah and any professional that thinks that’s acceptable needs to give their head a shake. nick warren’s first few gu’s were mixed live too (with mixed quality) and were way ahead of this garbage.
