Smallman1 It is absolute deltoid-popping POWERPROG ™

Don’t know why there’s so much aversion to it.

Up there with Timo.

That would be equivalent to spending a weeks wages on a 3 course meal at Little Chef only to realise years later that Heston Blumenthal the lazy cunt didn’t cook it..Gutted.

“i remember this came out on radio1 one of the most best mix” - not my words, the words of Harold Husted, YouTube commenter.

I will give it a listen one day Davo. Just not today. I don’t think you do yourself many favours also recommending we listen to My Chemical Romance and assorted Kpop artistes every so often. It marks your card.

Dress code? Awful.

Trabs? Horrific.

Music taste? Beyond the pale.

The result? Dave!

    Smallman1 possibly deadlines? Most of these DJ’s are all over the map, 360 days a year, so to get them locked down in a room for a couple of days (probably more so back then) must have been near on impossible to arrange.

    From what I can make out from a few of the GU bits I’ve seen on youtube, one of the locations on the DJ’s schedule would be chosen in advance. The GU boys would fly out to hold an official GU party there. It would be recorded for playback purposes, and whatever music they could afford to get published from said set would then be engineered in a studio at a later date to “somewhat” recreate the party. I guess Paul Morris (mentioned above) was the go-to guy at the time to do all the engineering.
    I assume anything they couldn’t afford to get published got binned from the sequence and replaced by something more affordable that would have been agreed with by the DJ.

    I might be a mile off, but that’s what I’ve understood.

      Why don’t you try being a friend for once? Millsy AND Smallman.

      Hmmmmmm, I’m not so sure it was quite so international back in the 90s as it is now (I could be wrong, thats just my perception), and when you don’t have a day job, I reckon they could get them together easily enough. But it sounds like others where just engineering the mixes, which, is just technical work, sat at a mixing desk / mac for a few hours, it’s not the more difficult creative stuff.

        This is such a good mix. CD2 is relentless. His latest October mixes on soundcloud are good, especially the classics one

        Is it underrated?

        I remember everyone I knew who was into clubbing raving about it at the time. For about 6 months it was our uni house’s warm-up to a big night out. That mix of Airacobra into Odessi was 😃

        IIRC pretty much everyone was massively into the first four NuBreeds, and I liked Lee Burridge’s as well but that divided opinion.

        Pappa’s NuBreed is deffo not underrated. It is my go to mix for cleaning the house.
