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.

                      Delighted to see that it it not overrated. The fact that it’s seldom if ever mentioned on here seemed telling to me.

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

                      Intriguing. How far along the running order are you upto by the time you’re bleaching the toilet brush? My guess is around track 14 “spencer krug - overactive” ❓️

                        By ‘cleaning the house’, Homegrove means it’s his go-to mix for an epic meth session.

                        Haha. I’m not very thorough cleaner so one CD usually does the job for the whole house. Except for the bathroom. That’s my wife’s job. I’m willing to do the rest of the house, but that’s her job.

                          Homegrove Rhouses has the same attitude.

                          Do you always leave a filthy unflushed log in there for her too?

                            So what are you doing while “spencer krug - overactive” is playing? Vacuuming the hallway?

                            Please be specific.

                              Michael Mayer’s Fabric is one for me. It took me by surprise when I first got it, and it still a joy to my ears today 🙂 Even that terrible Easy Lee track lol

                                Smallman1 I used to have someone come, but I haven’t since I moved out here to California.

                                  Smallman1 some people on the right here got mad at our prime minister for cleaning her own house, because it relaxes her apparently. Instead of “helping the economy” by hiring help.

                                    I could add Warren’s Prague to the mix. Re listened to it over the weekend, and it really sounds quite current. There’s actually a good amount of hard house on there. Also, it doesn’t suffer from the atrocious forced mixes that his other early live GU recordings did.

                                    Kells77 Spot on, Love it (and Michael Mayer). It’s pleasures are many and lasting.
                                    In my humble opinion Kompakt have been the best label this year pound for pound

                                      Homegrove It’s a belter mix, but it does for the most part miss out to the Danny Howells one, but that is probably just because I love that mix.

                                        Christian Nope, the mix I originally posted was the whole set. Could be this one that you mean:

                                        It’s from the following year and finishes with Ladytron, again only a two hour set from start to finish though - not a two parter.
