    Whats the deal with...

    Okay, help me out. I LOVE Cattaneo and Diggers and many people who do as well said i HAVE to check out Zabiela. So I downloaded a couple of sets and to be honest did really care for them at all. But I want to give the guy a fair shake. For those of you that really like him, what is the one set that I should be sure to hear?

      His recent guest appearance on Kiss was on point

      Check out the DJ promos and recommended sets forum. There's d/l for his Jul 08 2005 set off of Proton. It's pretty good.

          His Ableton mix was nifty.

          Also tis fun to watch him live if you get the chance.

          But who are these crazy people putting him in the same bracket as Cattaneo and Diggers

            That was my first impression as well.

              I was the same as you. JZ takes some time to get used to. I really wasn't a fan of it at first but I'm a big fan now. I would recommend his Proton set or his "Computed" CD of Utilities. Both are equally good.

                jz has got more mixing skills than all other djs combined, check out his new cd "utilities" and you 'll see why...plus his sound is so unique, its hard to compare him to anyone

                  His recent Kiss100 mix and 2004 Essential Mix's are good starting points.

                  But your best bet is to book a cheap flight to Ibiza and see him tear it up live at Space (personally I love his 2003 set from there which Kiss aired) ... although purchasing Alive 1 & 2 is the cheaper option.

                  This release was mastered direct from vinyl at the request of the DJ and as such features natural sound characteristics of this medium such as record surface noise.

                    what you find in stores from him might sound all nice and magical, but to really start feeling JZ you gotta either see him live or get some of his latest live sets, keyword - live, meaning not the Kiss100 ableton set, or Alive or Utilities for that matter.

                    look for his "live @ Peter Pan, Italy" set if you want an idea of what he's like with a crowd and what tracks he's got this year. i know a lot of people dig his pre-recorded, well organized sets, but they just don't do it for me, at least in comparison to the "straight out of the club" recordings.

                      ^^ I agree...

                      Sets that are recorded live are so much better than retail...

                        His Kiss set is about the only one I like... but seeing him live is completely different from listening to a live set. sorta like grayarea or infusion

                          cant believe nobody has mentioned any of his "duck" mix cd's. or afterparty sets. there's tons of stuff around from 2002 and earlier that rock your jock!
                          look for any of his Groovetech sets. some of them are on soulseek.

                              Thanks to everyone for the suggestions. I will listen to a few and let you know what I think.
