Ha, so glad I just put this on. My neighbours surely disagree.
Ahh, fucking awesome, Jack 
Nice to hear Voices Of Kwahn. The mix out/into the next track worked disturbingly well, too. Very nice.
More breaks mixes like this, plz
I had a feeling you'd enjoy this one Stu - weren't you a big breaks fan back in the day?
I actually wanted to mix out of Voices Of Kwahn later on, because that was the peak of the set and I was aiming for a long smooth blend out into Fluke to bring the set down into a more dreamy outro. However, I got the Voices Of Kwahn track from the Excession CD and for some reason there's a weird skip in the outro where it basically jumps out of synch and as such is nigh-on impossible to mix, forcing me into an earlier and slightly more hasty transition. Glad to hear it still worked well.
not enough big beat mixes around here.
it was a good mix while it lasted. The Crystal Method - Coming Back (The Light's Southern Grit Remix) is an underrated joint.

I like this.
That Voices of Kwahn AD track is rub-my-clit worthy.

I did not expect this type of mix from you, but damn, this was a fun mix to listen to. Please do not defer to post those other mixes you were talking about.
Finally got around to this one. Some really nice 90's mashers in here, but for me, the highlight of the mix was definitely Sabres Of Paradise - Tow Truck (The Chemical Brothers Remix).
Holy CRAP. That track is an utter monster. 
I had my headphones all the way up and had myself a hearty soundgasm.
The intro was awesome, and the rest of the tracks were excellent. I guess my only thoughts that might have an inkling of criticism were that as the tracks got faster, the tracks weren't exhibiting the same level of power as Tow Truck and Absurd. Beggars can't be choosers, and there was only one artist group that was making breaks of that level back then, and that was the Chemical Brothers. So I can't really blame you for not having anything fast to play that had that kind of "oomph", considering nobody else was playing that type of sound at the time. I also wasn't a big fan of the closing track.
Beyond the minor faults, (which aren't even really faults, just gripes) this was really awesome, and I enjoyed listening, as per usual. Great work!
Yeah, that remix is boss drum, although I also love the original Sabres track, which is damn funky in a different way. The Chems were on absolute fire for the first half of the '90s. It's worth hunting down THIS compilation, as just about every track on there is heavy weaponry.
I could have tried to build on the heavier vibe of those two tracks, but the aim wasn't to explore the heavier, rockier and more macho side of '90s big beat, but rather the break-tastic hip-hop bloodline. Part of that was also to make a fast-moving set that moved through a lot of different areas quickly, which has always been something I've admired in the most talented turntable wizards.
now that this is hosted i'll get to it jack. i just have to find the appropriate time, because grading mid terms and big beat won't work
Good man. Pretty sure Lews has crammed an essay to this mix, though. Stop educating the workforce of the yellow peril and get down.
most of my students are korean
i just can't read and listen to upbeat music.
i'm auditory bordering on kinesthetic.
imma do this during a dinner consisting of pets.
Fair enough. I just tend to blank out music if I'm reading unless it has vocals. I tend to listen to ambient/background music when reading or working simply because I think it's a waste of time to play music if you aren't paying attention to it, and I need something to block out external distractions.
it's why i do drone (or jazz) during readings of horrible essays.
i will hit this though bud. i'm from this generation and raved to all this shit.:P
if i am on a computer...music is playing. if not it is like sex without pussy.
New mix imminent, so anyone who hasn't listened to this yet: get on it. That means you Jay, when you're done picking household pets out of your teeth.
I did listen and enjoy, but twas a while ago and I would need to listen again to give a proper review like. I may have warbled on about it at WHP? memory isnt the best tbh
I don't recall you mentioning it at the WHP, although it was certainly a messy night with some memory lapses. I do remember talking to you about Arcadia though.
So I took a listen...
To be honest, the first part didn't do much for me. Was disappointed by the hip-hop stuff, but that's probably my fault for expecting 'apache breaks' in there or something. But hey, things picked once the Chem' Bros. show up, which is-
DUDE! What's with the four-to-the-floors!? I thought this was a breaks mix. What a gyp, I'm turning this off.
(actually, I only paused it for a while, as I became distracted by the 1990 Royal Rumble 
)
Ah, that's more what I expected in the second half. Nice effort, overall.
Yeah, that section was a bit spontaneous - I remembered that the Chems had reused their Packet Of Peace bassline on Three Birdies Down so I played around mixing them together, and I'd always had an idea that U Make Me Feel So Good would work well with that track and wanted to try it out. It all flowed like a dream so I kept it in, and the latter track's vocal is at least an iconic breaks sample so there's some tenuous thematic connection.
