This mix sucks!!!! WTF are you guys on???

NOT!!! This mix rules.

That Ralph Falcon track was beautifully done by Radio Slave...Def not the typical Ralph Faclon Miami (Space) house sound on this one...Very moody and groovy.

while those are terrific mixes, i have to disagree with you that hernans mix isn't up to par. he brings back a sound that has long since disappeared and does it with such grace that it demands attention and respect. with all the millions of tech and mnml mixes that are flooding our ear canals today, it is certainly refreshing to hear a mix that contains the best in progressive house (many of the people roots here at mercuryserver) and done so with pure class. this mix kicked my ass in the first hour and kinda lost me in the second hour, but after three listens i have grown to love this set and the complete atmosphere hernan creates within it. this is such a nice change up from the normal click-clap-slap stuff that i [also] love, but you can only hear so many slap-tap-flap's before you need a different - 'musical' if you will - sound. that being said, i urge you to light a spliff and give hernan one more listen.

Re: Hernan Essesntial Mix????

The metro mixes aren't anything like a Hernan club set - this mix reminds me more of when I saw Hernan play a house set Def Mix @ Pacha in 2005. i.e. beautiful house, but with no exhibitionism or showing off, no dropping obvious peak-time tracks, just setting a vibe (dark in places) and keeping things going.

Just like Sander's EM's (and Sasha's Maida Vale) this will stand up to the test of time, rather than being dated/restricted to a particular point in time.

Moshic's mix owns this one. not even close. not even in the same ballpark.

i'm listening to it again right now. second listen through. i'll post some of my second thoughts.

Re: Hernan Essesntial Mix????

You can't compare these two mixes anyway..Moshic is Moshic and Hernan is Hernan..they play completely different tracks. Moshic's mix was a studio midtempo mix (one of my all time EM favs too btw) and Hernan's mix has a very clubby and "live" feeling plastered on the whole mix.

Re: Hernan Essesntial Mix????

Well said TomTom ... at least the comments made me dust of Moshic's EM (plus many other sets available c/o west ocean events).

Re: Hernan Essesntial Mix????

Haven't heard the Moshic EM but his anniversary mix has been in my ipod ever since I got it. Downloading now!!

moshics e-mix is gravy pudding pie for the ears. i listened to it so many times when it came out. seems like a good time to pull it out of the archive for another gander.

Re: Hernan Essesntial Mix????

This set melts together pretty well
enough for multipule listens
really moody and driving enough
but not so much to jolt the listener.
It is nice to hear a set like this in an era
of tech heaven, hopefully new sounds on the horizon.
Pretty much been impressed with all the new prog style
mixes in the promos section lately, almost forgot how nice
it use to be to hear melodies and great synth pads.

Re: Hernan Essesntial Mix????

um......i've changed my mind....this set is real good. I"m not going to saw outright awesome, but i just listened to it again, and think it's better on the 3rd or 4th try around. It helps to listen to this when the sun is out too.

I downloaded the Moshic EM and it's great . I wouldn't compare them though. The Moshic is much more in your face! I actually think if Hernan had done his EM around the same time , it would have sounded similar! I think they have both moved on since then
