| Taking a listen to the latest set and wow, it's great so far! Very much along the lines of modern day Sasha, atmospheric and driving. |

Well over a year since the last one, that once a month things really not worked oiut that well has it. Hey ho.
I didn't get to Glastonbury this year, but watching it on the tele brought a lot of fond memories. This mix is inspired by that, lots of chunky, chugging techy proggy stuff with a few acid excursions. Perfect for a sweaty,wonky evening in a field in Somerset.

Having nagged you for ages to do another proggy set, Dave, I figured I'd better give this a listen. And for the first 80 minutes or so I thought this was going to be an all-time classic. There was a slow start that smoothly curved upwards into chunky, groovy territory. Then with that James Monro remix of Nanoplex things absolutely ignited for a good twenty minutes. Even by your own high standards, that mix into the Chems re-rub of Open Up is quite exceptional. At that point I was hoping for a full-on festival close out of massive choons, so was slightly disappointed when you stripped it back into heads-down, jaw-grinding acid messiness. I wouldn't have objected to the latter section of the set if it had come after a good hour of peak time, but as it was it felt like the peak of this set was a relative flash in the pan. Still a strong effort overall, and certainly a few tunes I will be stealing, but that little section in the middle was so good it left me wanting more. |

| Nice smooth set, Dave. The build up was frictionless and before you know it, the set is cruising. As I've mentioned in a couple of your mixes recently, I do feel this one could have done with a big breakdown or vocal in the midpoint to announce we'd "arrived" somewhere. That said, you deliver the goods on the closing stretch. The last three tracks are probably my favourite part of the mix. You used Belfunk extremely well here, and for some reason hearing it this time made me realise, after many years, how much of an influence it must have been on Humate's remix of Das Glockenspiel. It also wouldn't be a Dave King mix without a show-boating transition or two, and that blend between Airwave and Lee Van Dowski is quite something to behold. |

As promised Dave, I've listened to this a couple of times to confirm my opinion to myself!
Basically, the first 30 mins is absolutely georgous - as you said the other day, the opener is like a trance record but without a kick drum. Usually, beatless intros that go on for more than a minute do my head in. This one goes on for 7 mins but the time absolutely flies and by the time track 2 cones in I feel like I'm already listening to a proper club set. The mixing from then on is seemless too
However, the next 30 mins just aren't my thing at all - just not to my taste I'm afriaid and i felt they belong in a different set
As Jack said, great flow and big guns a-blazimg for the final stretch, a brilliant end to the mix
Uf this had been a trance mix, based on the opening sequence, rather than a fusion of prog and techno, it would be up there with your best! |

This looks very tasty, Dave. I'm already imagining just how good this transition is going to be:

ah er, yeah, about that one, youre going to be dissapointed im afraid :(
There was a nasty skip in Doi-Oing when i set a loop and it kinda boned the whole thing. It wasnt a complete trainwreck so decided to carry on, but yeah, not the showboater youre expecting alas |
