2004 would be good, starts with Infusion mix, although the Tidy Weekender might be tough going.

    JY wins poster of the year by a country mile this year. No doubt. A top lad and produces posts like this one too.

    The sasha and Emerson Feb 99 lush! / red box mix should be in the legendary category though. One of sashas best ever and the atmosphere in lush! was fucking insane that night.

    The homelands ess mix and the oakey Liverpool uni were also classics in my book. What a fucking year. And 21 years ago for fuck sake.

      I remember the uproar at the time when Digweed didn’t win, in the UK at least anyway.

      Think I’ll give it another go over later, if not just for the mix of The Baseline Track that never saw the light of day.

        Echo The Baseline Track

        Is that the same one off Sasha’s Gu mix.

            Dubman

            Yeah same one, but Hooj asked him to change that version for the full release for some inexplicable reason.

                Fooking well out of order. I bought the 12 and never played it.

                    Haha. I didn’t even bother buying it because it was so inferior.

                      Hooj has this stellar reputation, and some of their releases were top drawer, but I can’t help but think of them as immensely overrated. Most of the tracks they released weren’t even originals, just poached from other labels; and many of their remix choices leave a lot to be desired. Good, yes, but wildly inconsistent.

                      Always looked forward to their stickman variations, ’though.

                        Yeah, they were like unrestrained vultures on the prog scene for a fair few years. Red Jerry must’ve made some coin out of that.

                        Dubman Heard him play it at 1015 Folsom in July 99, B2B with Diggers. Incredible set. First time hearing ‘We Are Connected’, the Pappa & Gilbey mix of ‘I Trance You’ and ‘Annihilate’ in that set too. Wild night.

                        Jon, absolutely stellar work, mate. I do have a soft spot for that Oakie Cuba set though, so take it easy lol

                          I’m totally chuffed that Millsy’s usual late run for awards season has been scuppered by this exocet missile of a post.

                          2003 or 2005 next. They both have a lot of decent prog bangers.

                          It wasn’t actually recorded at Twilo. It was a replication of a set that Digweed did at Twilo. There was an interview with Digweed many years ago about it. It has to be the most misslabeled Essential Mix ever.
