My set from JOOF Editions, warming up for Mark Iliffe, Simon Patterson and the man himself. Slightly more groovey and housey than[ftp][/ftp] my normal style, due to the set time. Was a really great night

Really enjoyed this one mate! Nice and groovy throughout, and 'Wanted' is such a filthy track; I've always loved it. How'd it sound on a big system?
You would never guess it's 13 years old, it sounded absolutely massive and just as well produced as any of the new stuff

Chugging along nicely to these beats.
Any plans for the JOOF Editions to do smaller nights in London town? Would like to get along to one for sure.
Nicely done, Jon. This was very much in the vein of your style, with that "big" sound, heavy grooves and the trance vibes. Some of the parts with those overly reverb'd synth hits in tracks 5 and 6 got a little dry and repetitive to me, and the Frangellico remix seemed rather out of place but necessary I suppose when you're playing to a large crowd who might need a break once in a while
Still solid, I love how deep you are into the scene! I'd like to come to that side of the pond sometime for a show!

Thanks for the review mate!
Yea I started playing those more synthy tracks that you mention (I'd call them housey but everyone has a different definition) because it's classic stuff to get people moving. Those tunes actually sound a lot more banging on a system than they do in my bedroom - I found the deeper stuff worked better so hence that frangellico tune to get back to the more classic prog. Nice seeing you picked up on that
Hopefully you can make it over some time!

Jon has a point!
Just do what I did sunsurge... take a 1 hour train ride, complain the entire night while dancing, then take the morning train back while complaining.
I still don't know why I complained so much because it is SO easy in the UK

Spike, I often drive down from London. I can neither confirm or deny whether Ill be at the next one, but there is the possibility of a lift there

Sweet! I'll keep an eye out for future events. Cheers man.
Jon this mix was spot on. I really, really, really love it how you went a little closer to the prog I play in the beginning of this mix (first few tracks). Maybe that's why I liked it so much Also I definitely find more of a groove/swing in this mix than other opening sets you have played before. One thing though, I personally might have found Glen Frantz - 4A or 7B a tad too "big" maybe to play as a fourth track.
Too bad I couldn't have made it to more of your shows or a second recording going b2b with you! I'm sure we'll be meeting up one way or another though for a repeat performance xD
P.S. forgot to mention, Sezer Uysal - Respire For Future (Rodskeez remix) is awesome
