Just announced. I wasn't a fan of the Patrice Baumel one (thought there were so many parts where the flow and the pacing just flatlined) but I love Voorn, and his 2019 EM was one of the best sets I've heard last year. Just wondering how the hell they'll fit the TL on the back of the CD case :P

makes sense he would do it in his backyard, considering the travel ban , it used to be a tradition for dj's to travel to Asia or south America to mix this, with that being said I'm looking forward to it .

Hey, they made the TL fit on Balance 14, I'm sure they'll work something out here.

Anyway, another big step in the right direction. At this rate I imagine GU will eventually find itself somewhere between Balance and Fabric, though I wouldn't be surprised if it just becomes another Balance with a different titling system.

Speaking of titles, I was reflecting on how Voorn was planning to use one another one of his technical megamixes to reflect the flavor of Rotterdam, when I found myself asking: how much have these cities really factored into the mix in the first place? I mean, there's nothing distinctly 'Taipei' about GU: 31, or 'San Francisco' about GU: 09 (yes, except for the Haight Street-sounds intro that preceded the first disc- one of the few times I can actually recall GU doing anything to add the city's flavor into the music itself). The only mix that actually 'felt' like its respective city was GU: Reykjavik.

Or maybe that was never the point, but GU has always pushed this angle of being 'transported' to the respective city such that I suspect it's intended to be a bit more than merely a retrospective mix of a recent set that was played there. This whole 'city series' gimmick may have been an effective marketing tool, but I wonder if it's ultimately little more than that.

Those booklets sure are nice though, and make for great collector pieces. Glad I still have all of mine.

Hmm, yeah the only CDs that I really felt accurately conveyed their host city were Reykjavik, as you said, as well as Digweed in HK. The first disk especially conveyed the back alleys of HK, while the climax of both disks made you feel as you were on top of Mt Victoria.

I think it's a misconception that the Cities Series was ever about capturing the feel of a locale. The whole point was of a global underground - IE: the same sound all over the world. Really the concept was two ravers from Newcastle, Northern England flying a series of mostly British DJs around the globe and taking the sound of British superclubs with them. It's only really in recent years that the DJs have become more international and there's been more of an attempt to tie DJ and city together.

I just realized what an adorably outdated concern this is. The whole point of posting a TL to the back of a CD case was so you could flip it over at the music store and decide if you wanted to buy it, but both CD's and especially music stores are a thing of the past. And anyone who buys a special physical copy will have already seen the TL online, so they can stick it in anywhere they want now. Man we're so old.
