[RA Review 4.5 out of 5]

There is no doubt that with their recent string of releases, the Global Underground crew is branching out as the winds of dance music change direction.

From the 'Afterhours' downtempo/experimental double set, to James Lavelle's recent Barcelona outing, there is no doubt that the GU Boys are venturing further into progressive territories - minus the "house".

Nick Warren continues this thread with his latest mix, coming straight out of Reykjavik, Iceland. In what has been said to be the man's final compilation, Warren goes out with a bang - spanning genres from trip hop and experimental to break beat and melodic trance.

Disk one is the Warren you would expect to see if one spent a late evening downing a pint at his flat. Similar to the "Back to Mine" compilation Warren did a few years back, the mix is largely downtempo - featuring stellar tracks by the likes of Avatar, Boards of Canada, and Planet Funk.

The similarites to his "Back to Mine" outing differ toward the end of disc one, when things pick up with the excellent Grayarea track "Yewminyst" - featuring solid breaks, nu skool synths, over a stuttering female vocal, the tune showcases the best sides of break beat, with a progressive attitude.

Disk two is the Nick Warren GU fans have come to know and love. The mix is a solid 4/4 structure, taking off where Warren left off with the Amsterdam compilation. While many DJ's tend to go dark (and oftentimes boring), Warren tends to keep things melodic. Starkid's "Crayons" is an excellent example - it features the synthy melodies Warren showcased on his last GU mix, yet takes them up to the current moment and beyond. The track evokes the best elements of Cosmo's "Take Me With you", and evolves them into a top rate tune. The anthemic "Rise" by Vector (featuring the vocals of Alan Johnson) is destined to be a dance floor monster in 2003.

If this is to be Warren's last compilation - it will be a sad day for dance music. The man is always able to put together top notch mixes, while keeping things interesting and exciting.

Nick Warren takes a blank landscape, paints it with touches of atmospheric mastery, breakbeat magnificence, and experimental brilliance - thus creating a masterpiece.

^Speaking of unknowns, and please pardon me if either of these djs are well known in their respective countries/cities, but I've been really digging mixes by this Greece based dj: Panos SKG:

It has got a real laid back groove going on that then moves into an early house sound.
The first half is just really well constructed with the tracks layering each other wonderfully and the second half just reminds of old times but in a fresh new way.

Well worth a listen.
Headphones on, lights out and enjoy!

Re: Set of the Moment?

^from your description I'm definitely interested, the opening track is smooth. I need to be on a beach listening to this I can already tell.

Re: Set of the Moment?

Listened to half of the Ryan mix, it didn't catch me as something extra special personally, but it's still a good mix.

Weatherall's transitions mix is superb:
