This week’s instalment, Cream Anthems mixed by the poor man’s Sasha and Digweed, who seemed to be inseparable around this time, often going arse-to-arse on a double-ender at Godskitchen or The Gallery.
Probably dragged in to do the Cream mixes due to Seb’s impending (and largely disappointing to many) residency.
Interesting fact: Music Sounds Better With You appeared on this because when it went massive, Bangalter apparently insisted on two mixes of it appearing on mix CDs or he wouldn’t allow it at all (thus doubling his royalties).
Standout tracks:
Tall Paul mix:
Cevin Fisher’s Big Freak - The Freaks Come Out (Original Mix)
Stardust - Music Sounds Better With You (Original Mix)
Robbie Rivera - The Ultimate Disco Groove
These are bona fide house classics that still sound great (IMO)
Seb Fontaine mix:
Actually nothing, it’s a truly horrible mix of big room tunes that had already been totally overplayed at this point. Tune in, though, for the overblown histrionic vocals of Lucid - I Can’t Help Myself and the utterly cheesy line in Radical Playaz - The Hook (Dave’s Rubber Dub Mix): “I want you to go out there and… DANCE! OKAY???”
