Great Mix!

Barring some of the cheesy 90's diva house/ house in general vocals going on in this mix that I've never been able to really like or appreciate, the music is fire.

And that transition into Change was bombastic.

I didn't use to like the 90s diva vocals, and I can't remember what made me change, but now I love them, especially when they're used in a progressive context instead of a garage/funky one.

For some reason I haven't been able to make myself really like them yet. When the first instance of "You can change your mind!" comes in at that transition it definitely works, but after that point I want the vocals to stop

Those vocals are so money. If I heard any of these tracks dropped out somewhere I would freak.

I would do anything to hear Bedrock - For What You Dream Of [Full On Renaissance Mix] in some dark and dirty sweatbox at 4 in the morning.

One of my greatest moments was hearing this track in a club. It was at an old school night and unfortunately it was the warm-up DJ who played the prog while the peak time guys all played hardcore/rave, so the room wasn't packed yet and it was only about 12.30. Despite all that it was still incredible. I'd only ever heard the track mixed out after the vocals finish (as on the Renaissance compilation) so I never knew the track had that incredible ending. When the climax kicked in I went fucking nuts.

I have the same problem too, but over the last year or so I've been enjoying them more and more. Like with lots of "big" music there's kind of a door that you need to open, you need to let the music in to do its thing without thinking about how corny it is.

Absolutely! Does anyone have more mixes by Digweed in his Renaissance-style house phase? I have a few, but this one is unbelievable!
