Dubman It made for a very good EP. The rest of the album was admittedly poor. Still think Dosem’s is good. You?

      I do like a lot of dosem’s stuff especially his harder sound. Not that keen on his granny house on Anjunadeep.

        It’s pretty good if you like there music. I’m yet to listen to through my hi-fi as I’m updating some equipment.

            Dubman Have heard people say good things, but then I wasn’t that impressed with the bits I’ve listened too. Figured it might be a grower not a shower.

                Feel like I’ve missed a lot of albums this year, anyone recommending anything tried and tested from earlier in the 2020 horror show?

                  Amps
                  I like that in an album. The ones that are a slower grower tend to get better and don’t age as much.

                    Amps Been some good albums this year. I have liked the Roisin Murphy, Kohra and Jon Gurd ones. On the non electronic side, Paul Weller and Doves have been very good

                      Not sure I knew Gurd had done an album, will give that a listen.

                      We all had our trousers pulled down by Bronson. Fucking shite that after their brilliant EP

                      John Beltran - The Season Series. Pick of the bunch here:

                      Bought an aiff for the singles from Junodownload. Nearly 8 G. 🤓

                        Homegrove looking forward to listening to it all. Its a novel approach including 58 tracks in 2 and ½ hours. More about the DJ’s skills and his selections than the music itself. Saw Voorn live with Kolsch at Fabric NYE and it was a blast

                            His Balance was similar, and is a masterpiece. Not expecting this to be though. He’s gone quite cheesy since 2008. Will listen with decent volume tonight, with some beverages.

                            Hes done it before, seldom works always feels contrived.

                            Will be giving a whirl today whilst painting the garage!

                                Smallman1 so far so good, I am an hour through. Had never heard any of the tracks which is always good

                                  Excellent.

                                  Got a biz trans meeting at 10am.

                                  Will give it a whirl after.

                                  Hold tight for feedback!

                                    The JV GU is now relentless. Very good

                                    half way through the first joris voorn mix and it’s pretty bland to say the least. don’t see myself finishing it.

                                    Alistair endorsing it was all the feedback I needed.

                                      The equivalent of walking out of a film after the first 15 mins..

                                        I love this. Pure cheese in between some nice techno.

                                        Found Voorns GU a bit contrived.

                                        Yes its clever, but there’s no time to enjoy a groove or melody.

                                        Not for me.

                                          I just got to the end, and loved it. It never felt like 50 tracks, a side, maybe 15. Yes, there was a lot of cheese, but also a surprising amount of decent techno. Looking forward to going through the singles tomorrow to find the tracks.

                                            Mad_Cyril yep, zero flow. if you actually start to enjoy something, it’s gone immediately.

                                              The way he put the tracks was clever. I thought it did surprisingly flow and felt pretty seamless considering the abundance of tracks. Some great transitions

                                                alistair But he’s just splicing shit up in Ableton or something similar.

                                                Might be slightly cohesive but nothing has time to breathe or get a groove going.

                                                Think Voorn has a good ear for melody, tunes etc but when he puts one of these together feels a bit gimmicky.

                                                Prefer Damo’s Ableton sets by a country mile

                                                  Homegrove
                                                  Great purchase from a tunes perspective.

                                                  Just not as a mix.

                                                  As long as you don’t use them all for 30 seconds each
