Freestylers - A Different Story...

This was my staple "getting ready to go out" CD for two straight years. Everything from hip-hop and hardcore to disco and reggae in about 65 frantic minutes.

"In Search Of Asian Flutes 25" mixed by DJ Tiestor.










I don't really listen much to mix CDs tbh, but the first ones that spring to mind and that i know i like are:

Henrik Schwarz Live
Booka Shade's DJ Kicks
Funk D'Void's Sci.Fi.Hi.Fi.

Rather hard to answer this question, as most of my contenders are double disc releases (and I assume we're talking about overall releases here), which often have quite a noticeable difference in quality between the two discs.

My immediate reactions are the first discs to GU: Reykjavik and GU: Paris.

I might also need to add the first disc to Zabiela's latest 'Masters' installment to that list, as well.

Being a relatively new convert to house/techno (last year and a half or so), I won't pretend to have knowledge of classic compilations in my favourite genres. If I really had to name the mix cds that have spoken to me most, I would have to put forward Sasha's GU 013 - Ibiza (particularly CD 1) and Fabric 38 - Steve Bug, an album recommended to me by a friend a year and a half ago that, upon the very first listen, brought me away from the cheese-house/dooka-dooka techno of funkagenda and deadmau5 et al and into deeper, darker styles of techno and house. Both absolute landmarks in my ablum collection.

Yeah, that one is pretty sick. Although Steve Bug's is # 37

James Holden - Balance 005
Sasha - Fundacion NYC/Involver
Sander Kleinenberg - Everybody/This is Everybody Too
Desyn Masiello - Balance 008
Luke Fair - Balance 011/Bedrock OS_0.3
Danny Howells - GU027
Ellen Alien - Fabric 34
Hernan Cattaneo - Renaissance Masters 2004
Funk D'Void - Sci.Fi.Hi.Fi 04
John Digweed - Transitions

If I had to pick a favorite, it would most likely be either Involver or Balance 005
