Took me a little while to get around to reviewing this despite giving it a couple of listens now. Sandy beaches in the Greek isles certainly gave this mix the perfect backdrop so I thought I’d take a bit of time to jot down some thoughts
Firstly, it’s obviously a very well put together and thoughtful mix, alongside a really fresh new style of music- what’s not to love? Agreed on previous comment that Route 8’s ‘all those DJ’ is a particularly brilliant number, and I actually enjoyed the rather bold decision to include it so early in the set
Things revert to being a little bit tracky after that, but the tunes set a steady groove and build up nicely and slowly, establishing a very cool and deliberate atmosphere.
Things pick up again at around ‘Indian Rope’, and there’s a great trio of tunes together here.
That leads into the grand finale where this mix moved into more of a ‘peak time’ club vibe. I’m not actually that keen on ‘Move Faster’ which feels a little bit naff. It’s then up the gears for Lionrock…. lol interesting. The vocal on this is clearly terrible and unnecessary, but everything else about the track is amazing and I’ve still found myself buying it. Someone needs to make a dub!
I’ve enjoyed Hail Falls from previous mixes of yours, but it really works well on this set, and then Oolong Trance is a perfect finale
Top banana old chum. 87/100
