Dan think he was always going to struggle to live up to Bon Voyage, Zerotonine and FiCHpt2 in this day and age to be fair!

Dan Bon Voyage

Absolute monster. Power Prog at its best. And I was also underwhelmed by the EP. While I wasn’t exactly expecting Future In Computer Hell Part II (DISC 2!), was hoping for something more than BSPF.

Wasily …couple of decent tracks, lovely pads on ā€˜Remember’ (prob the nearest to his old Urban Torque style), and one of the downtempo tracks, ā€˜Miami Voice’ is also really good IMO

    Unbroken1

    Expectations being the mother of disappoinment. When he releases ā€œCyclesā€ on Freerange however many years ago….one can’t help but get their hopes up.

    EDIT 14 years ago. Shoot me in the head already.

      …I hear ya, loved his early releases, and his stripped-down style left me completely cold, the last couple of years def hearing the signs of a return to form though, thought the Freerange ep. with Shur-I-Kan was really good (ā€˜Paper Cut’/ā€˜Hit Thinking’) and last years ā€˜Sunset in a Frame’ on Housewax was really good.

        Unbroken1

        Not entirely sure why, but this is always on the list when I play out (usually a warm up set). From the same era and an absolute deep house gem….

        PALMFooD, Fran Palermo - Monsoon (Original Mix)
        Anber - Prima Donna (Guy Maayan Remix)
        Lake Avalon - Initium Novum(Original Mix)
        Felix Raphael - Last Thoughts (Koelle Remix)
        Alex Medina - AlgoRhytm (Biesmans Remix)

        oldie…
        Doves - Jetstream (Sasha ā€˜sub dub’)

        That Truth Is An Obsession track is billy average.

        Wasily sort of… never heard this mix of Last Train and only found it because of you picking up hismix of Heliopolis.

        So, yeah šŸ˜‚

        5 days later

        Freestyle Man - Breakdown 2020 [Moodmusic]
        Phil Kieran - Scream (Justin Van Der Volgen Remix) [Maeve]
        Inamo - Seela Voli (Dub) [trueColors]
        Birds of Mind - Dropping Seeds Of Life / The Void Between Us [Kindisch]
        Bardia Salour - Glyph [Oscillate Records]

          Dan I’ve always found this with his tunes. He’s an incredible producer but isn’t really a tune smith. That’s why it worked well when he was with Sasha.

          Luke Sander / DJ Counselling - Don’t Think (Dave DK Remix)
          Invoker - It All Ends in Supernovae / Moments (Aera Remix)
          Freestyle Man - Breakpoint 2020
          Burnski x Kepler - Colour
          Yeah But No - Veneer (Echonomist Remix)

          Oldie of the week:
          Rabbit in the Moon - FLooRI. D. A (Three A.M.'s Dub for Strangeways)

          SM001 Phil Kieran - Scream (Justin Van Der Volgen Remix) [Maeve]

          Ohhh. That sounds interesting. Van Der Volgen every year used to take over Beats In Space for two hours. All unreleased stuff and edits. He’s a fantastic producer that doesn’t release enough music.

          Good week, I thought.

          Hurlee - Tiny Bell [Shall Not Fade]
          Suki & Sniper1 - Purple Haze [Holding Hands]

            Also released this acid monster on DFA many years ago. Eric Duncan played it on Beats In Space and afterwards said, ā€œshould we all put our shirts back onā€ in an early callout to Ed.
