Given that there are a few fervent 07 fans, does anyone like TdV Tokyo? Haven’t heard it but curious

    alistair is that the first or the second? I had his second gu on over the summer and it sounded very current. The weird Hard House revitalization amongst german zoomers is hilarious

      alistair IDK what you call it now, but right before covid it that Tidy Tracks sound was on a load of boilerroom sets and filling a lot of various podcasts.

      303abuser and there’s no chance i find that cd, i’m sure it sounds dated too and doesn’t belong in this thread. i haven’t played out in 15ish years either.

      Hahaha. There you were claiming to be better than Oakenfold New York and when it comes to it…..

        It was class at the time but way too fast and hard to be an enjoyable listen today.

        saw him in Plymouth after double dropping and was right in the mood for him then.

        Errr 140 bpms was thee thing pre covid and has endured thru lockdown it would seem

        zackster the mixmag live you listed at #1. not sure if i haven’t heard it or it’s something i used to listen to all the time and just forgot about it.

          zackster I was thoughtless when creating this thread, and for that I apologize. Because of my cavalier behavior, I have forced everyone to confront the fact that prog, its Djs, and unfortunately its fans have all aged like shit. Years of forgoing timeless Roland groove boxes for over processed DAW samples have left the prog cannon mouldering with the JNCO jeans you wore to listen to it.

          Conversely, techno is as relevant as ever, which I can only imagine adds salt to the wound. Don’t let that get you down! If you can still enjoy 16 bars with out a single hi hat then I say bully for you. Enjoy it. If I had the nerve to put a glue coated bag over my head for 15 minutes, I would assuredly join you all in your twilight utopia.

          Bit like your thread ideas there and your music opinions; that comment started out well but after the first sentence decended into mindless incoherent dribble.

          Matty i really tried to qualify that i wasn’t implying that in my original post. maybe he could mix, but he was just too lazy? i’m not sure. only saw him live once and after 5 hours in line due to a horrific promoter, i was a bit of a gong show by the time he went on and he could’ve played pretty much anything. 🤣

          Jacques Lu Cont’s Fabric is one that has a certain timeless quality. Track selection and flow superb He had the midas touch before he turned his back on dj’ing.

          Diggers will be reading this thread and gnashing his teeth. Wait ’til he’s gigging again and plays in Zack’s home town…

          Oakenfold was never a great mixer, the Oakenfold power move around 1996-98 was he had loads of great records, before anyone else.

            probably true, he did have that Oakenfold trance sound and when everyone jumped on
            the bandwagon 2000/2001 and Dave Pearce was playing Oakenfold records then he went from being DJ supreme to an also ran. His Travelling CD was one of the worst DJ mix comps of all time.
