Originally posted by CHRles The Eric Prydz mix was nothing to write home about. For fuck's sake the first hour was slow, boring, and commercial. The second hour was worse - pulling out old Rave anthems like "Higher State of Conciousness", and Robin fuckin S. with "Show Me Love"!!! He also just had to throw in there Vangelis "Conquest of Paradise" didn't he? The only DJ who was able to pull that off was Oakie, and that was back in the 90s when the song actually had a life. . This isn't supposed to be an old school Essential Mix, now is it? All the while let's not forget that this mix is coming from the same guy that looped a Stevie Winwood record for 6 minutes, and butchered a Pink Floyd classic recently. I think there are DJs in Timbuktu that can play a better set then Eric Prydz, but I suppose the sheep/masses are digging his sound.

I'm not really a fan of any of Eric Prydz productions or any of the "Sweedish house mafia" (although I must admit I really do like Aftermath), and have grown kind of tired by all the hype about him and others in the "mafia."
But today I decided to download his EM today here at work (only because i wanted to hear teh Laurent Garnier track in it) and have been listening to it while at work, and I must say, i really have been enjoying it.
maybe i'm just another sheep then....

It's cool, we're all sheep to some degree I suppose. At least you're wise enough to see all the hype in all of this.

I rarely ever listen to mixes anymore by any DJ since almost every song sounds like farts and swamp ass with a kick/off-beat snare in the background.

Originally posted by DJ-CMH Did anyone else recognize that? Both of the artists had their Essential Mix recently. Eric gets 11 pages of tracklisting and honour, and John only 3, though the site is called TRANCEaddict...what happened to the scene? Go and get John Askew's mix. It's hillarious. So much energy!

Im an SHM fan but to be honest i enjoyed askews more bt i really liked erics as well

Both mixes kinda disappointed me, and I love Eric Prydz.

Askews was ok, nothing special though
