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

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

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

          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.

              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

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

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

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

                      Quite the opposite actually.

                      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

                          Smallman1 I put Henry Saiz in the same category as Guy J and High Earning Hernan Cattaneo.

                          Horrific.

                          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 ;

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

                                303abuser Smallman1 if you still think gu007 is representative of good mixing, your opinion is basically worthless.

                                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)

                                    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.

                                        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.

                                            zackster so Maceo Plex’s Fabric isn’t filled with current sounds…? It depends on what you listen to. I also think Sasha’s Fabric from two years ago sounds current today
