The perfect mix

Re: The perfect mix

SimonR gets to post as many as he likes .. I'd be curious to learn how each individual mix represents perfection to your ears, and why 1 doesn't stand out more than the others?

sure man .... I just wanted to stray away from some of the GUs and NEs ... as others were posting them.

• Gerber's fabric is a concept album .... based on the concept of his relationship breakdown & pretty much made in 3 days - it's my current #1 CD on rotation
• Voorn's is amazingly sequenced and programmed - batches of tracks but together with lots of unexpected turns, with sounds appearing all over your hifi
• Hernan's is underestimated - pure cinematic bliss and pretty much faultless
• Digger's T4 is the best of the series and pure alchemy

Surprised Sasha's GU 009 isn't mentioned yet. Never fails to amaze and fresh every time I play it.

So all perfect in their own unique way.

Sasha @ Mark Hunt's house Labor Day Weekend 1996. 6 hours of pure perfection!

That was labeled too like "Zen afterparty", right ??

Re: The perfect mix

^^^^^Yes that Howells mix is amazing!

My picks would be:
John Digweed Bedrock, especially CD 1
Sasha GU09 San Francisco
Northern Exposure 1 both cds
John Digweed Live in London
Jimmy Van M Bedrock CD 1
Paul Oakenfold GU 07 New York CD 1

i have others but those are what i would call "PERFECT"

Re: The perfect mix

involver all the way.
have heard it in every place i had the chance (bedroom, car, boat, plane...) and it still makes me tickle in different parts of the cd and in separate tracks all the time... it even surprises me in some cases...

Re: The perfect mix

Also two completely perfect live mixes....

Sasha @Babylon, Greenboro 21-5-99

Chris Fortier - Live @ Ashtar, Monterrey Mexico 9-10-1999

Both of these sets are incredible from start to finish....perfect sounds from that time. Amazing mixing and flow.

Re: The perfect mix

Another underrated and less known mix that I would add to the list is Max Graham Transport 4....it is so smooth and tight...great tracks, mixed perfectly and the flow is awesome....he is a very underrated dj in my opinion.
