Lee Jones \ Aria [Aus Music]

Aria (Original Mix)
Aria (Tiger Stripes Remix)

I know this won't pass Mr. Mystery's standards for a review , I'm not a savvy electronic music depicter, I just know what sounds good to me and what doesn't.

They are two rather relaxed tracks, the original being more so than the remix. The remix seems to carry a quick snare to it towards the beginning (of the sample at least).

I like both of them though. I had never heard of Lee Jones before I stumbled across this release.

Tiger Stripes mix is slick. Don't remember where I heard this, I think it was an RA podcast of some kind, love it regardless though

Hm. I just looked at some of the RA podcasts... they look like they could be pretty good. Do you listen to them every week, bas?

Posted by bas on Mar-14-2008 03:07:

Yep! I download them every week with the exception of some I didn't bother to hear. 8 times out of 10 they are fantastic.

From this year alone I'd recommend:
Derek Plaslaiko
Sasse
Kalabrese
JD Twtich
The Juan Maclean

Last Years:
Gregor Treshor
Underworld
Prins Thomas <-one of my favorite in the past 2 years lol

And if you can find Tim Sweeney's from January 07 (or 06 I forget which) I'd strongly recommend that.

Hm. Are they mixes just showcasing new productions or is it a Mary Anne Hobbs style of playing one track, then talking, then playing another?

They're full on DJ mixes mate, no talking and it's not something like Digweed's Transitions. More like a short version of the Essential Mix minus any kind of intro. They tend to be about an hour sometimes a little more, the Prins Thomas one is 2 hours long

alright cool thanks for the info bas... although this is yet another thing to take away from my studies.

I already listen to the Essential Mix and Mary Anne Hobbs show every week, and I am working on getting through all the Milk Run episodes too.

I just got Derek Plaslaiko's episode... givin' it a whirl now.

Picked up both tracks, great release.

clovis and bas, you guys need to help me out sometime. I've been wanting to pick up CDJ's for awhile and start mixing music on hardware instead of using strictly Ableton. No idea where to start though.

This is brilliant, one of the best of 08 so far. Prefer the original mix, but both can be useful.

TS for me, fun tune...

Posted by Clovis on Mar-15-2008 23:22:

After buying and playing both, the original is WAY better than the TS mix.

The best RA podcast ever is Alexander Robotnick from last year, Jooris Voorn was good too.

Almost all of them from this year have been solid too

As far as Aria, wow I really fell in love with that beatport sample, this will probably be a buy

Bought the Tiger Stripes mix. Fucking solid!
