Ahh, ing awesome, Jack :D
Nice to hear Voices Of Kwahn. The mix out/into the next track worked disturbingly well, too. Very nice.
More breaks mixes like this, plz :D |

I had a feeling you'd enjoy this one Stu - weren't you a big breaks fan back in the day?
I actually wanted to mix out of Voices Of Kwahn later on, because that was the peak of the set and I was aiming for a long smooth blend out into Fluke to bring the set down into a more dreamy outro. However, I got the Voices Of Kwahn track from the Excession CD and for some reason there's a weird skip in the outro where it basically jumps out of synch and as such is nigh-on impossible to mix, forcing me into an earlier and slightly more hasty transition. Glad to hear it still worked well. |

not enough big beat mixes around here.
it was a good mix while it lasted. The Crystal Method - Coming Back (The Light's Southern Grit Remix) is an underrated joint. |

Oh yeah, very much so. I still am, really, but it's this style of bigbeat and breakbeat that I'm far more familiar with, compared to the more proggy/atmospheric breaks that are more popular these days.
Stuff like this just makes you want to get down :D |

| That Voices of Kwahn AD track is rub-my-clit worthy. |

A surprisingly unknown joint. I happened across it almost at random on Youtube and had to get hold of a hard copy. Blew my mind the first time I heard it because the talentless hack that is Bill Leeb sampled the break on his techno-industrial soundtrack for Quake 3: Arena, a staple videogame of my youth.

It is mega mega. That whole Excession sampler is full of great breaksy trancey 1998y cross-over tracks. |

| I did not expect this type of mix from you, but damn, this was a fun mix to listen to. Please do not defer to post those other mixes you were talking about. |

Finally got around to this one. Some really nice 90's mashers in here, but for me, the highlight of the mix was definitely Sabres Of Paradise - Tow Truck (The Chemical Brothers Remix).
Holy CRAP. That track is an utter monster. :wtf: I had my headphones all the way up and had myself a hearty soundgasm.
The intro was awesome, and the rest of the tracks were excellent. I guess my only thoughts that might have an inkling of criticism were that as the tracks got faster, the tracks weren't exhibiting the same level of power as Tow Truck and Absurd. Beggars can't be choosers, and there was only one artist group that was making breaks of that level back then, and that was the Chemical Brothers. So I can't really blame you for not having anything fast to play that had that kind of "oomph", considering nobody else was playing that type of sound at the time. I also wasn't a big fan of the closing track.
Beyond the minor faults, (which aren't even really faults, just gripes) this was really awesome, and I enjoyed listening, as per usual. Great work! |

Yeah, that remix is boss drum, although I also love the original Sabres track, which is damn funky in a different way. The Chems were on absolute fire for the first half of the '90s. It's worth hunting down THIS compilation, as just about every track on there is heavy weaponry.
I could have tried to build on the heavier vibe of those two tracks, but the aim wasn't to explore the heavier, rockier and more macho side of '90s big beat, but rather the break-tastic hip-hop bloodline. Part of that was also to make a fast-moving set that moved through a lot of different areas quickly, which has always been something I've admired in the most talented turntable wizards. |
