A pity i only own the second CD from this special sized DoCd Booklet-Set. For me tis is the best Global Underground Mix i heard. You won't find any of that progressive House one associates with GU. Instead the Mix on CD 2 starts with german minimal Tech-House; but this sounds different in Danny Howell's Mix than in your average Minmal DJ Set. What stries me is the flow, the transitions and the easygoing, yet forward moving flow Danny creates here. After the minimal start he blends into one of my personal faves Mateo Murphy's 'Latin Loover' (Intec); he rests on that vibe for 5 minutes then changes gear towards Electro Beats and a few Vocal Trax courtesy of Boogie Drama, Bobby Peru and Tiefschwarz's Remix of Bodydub = Hits from the time this mix was recorded. He changes directions towards Tech-House again with Bryan Zentz and ends this fine ride with the excellent Classic Music EP by The Geens Keepers and a rare Remix of Throbbing Gristle's 'Hot On The Heels Of Love'.
He uses the effect Scction of his mixer clever and (best of all) accents his transitons in a unique way returning to a certain groove a couple times, to emphasize the upcoming Mix. Hats off 4 that !
That's real good DeeJaying and an entertaining Feel Good Home Listening Mix at the same time.
I return to this CD more often than to other Mix CD's i rated higher after the first few rounds in my CD Player.
