Originally posted by Mecca82 as a CL fan as some of you know it, i'm brave enuff to say that i'm quite dissapointed with this mix... some songs are just too cheesy for me out of character... hopefully he can't make a recovery for new years eve in SF... oh yea.. the psytrance is about some years late... ahaha electrophile was right

Yeah, this mix let me down too. I was expecting much more. I think CL is a great DJ but he seems to be FAR behind in terms of psy. I guess he is just starting to come into it but he needs to cut the fat from the steak and get rid of this electro shit.

i like cl's mix, only noticed the first few tracks were electro (one i really liked), rest seemed more on the psy trance tip to me, got way harder at the end. i liked how the set built up, seemed right for a desert party. so what he played one old record out of how many? have heard sasha play some cool old records, same with digweed. although i heard paul oakenfold played brain bug at burning man this year, but that's a real crime against music. yuk.

CL plays one song that was out in 2005 and now we're labeling him as not caught up in the terms of psy?? Cmon fellas, get real. Psy goes in many many different directions and alot of the psy tracks that he's been hammering have been stellar tunes as of late IMO.

When i first starting following CL, he never played Psy but was more hard house, hard trance, techno, progressive, etc. I would not want to see CL just stick to Psy all his life now. The fact that he can play a variety of styles whenever he wants, makes him who he is now.

NYE, CL will rock 1015!! Cant wait!!

Look at his Pharmacy Subculture 01 track list. Hypercube was 2 years old. Daydream, Evox and 3rd time lucky were nearly as old when the CD was released. Don't get me wrong, I am a huge CL fan but I am an even bigger psy fan. Everytime I go to a CL show I hear tracks I like BUT they were already played by J00F two years ago. I don't see him breaking any new ground, rather just trailing years behind J00F.

CL is one of my favorite DJs and I have been following him long before he was famous, hell I even have his mixtapes. He was one of the driving DJs that brought me into the scene BUT I feel that if he is going to be an up-front top 10 DJ he should be playing up-front tracks and not just "safe" hits from years passed. I am not saying that he ONLY plays old psy tracks, I am just saying that he tends to lean in that direction.
