Reviews & Discussion
I'm also surprised about average rating of this release. This is one of the most underground mixes ever came out from UK, by my opinion.
However, it is one of those releases that you appreciate more after couple of listenings but on first glance.
What I find the most attractive about this mix is that Derrick Carter spinned untypical tracks for his kind of vibe (selection has been made by Richard Breeden) and therefore added that extraordinary and unique mixing skill over classical UK tech-house. No regular DJ of this style of music would mix these tracks the way Mr. Carter did.
This is exactly where madness of Chicago met dope UK beats.

I'm a big fan of this mix and when it was first released it lived in my CD player (thus making Daft Punk's Homework homeless). At first I was surprised that the rating was pretty average, but then I guess if you're not a fan of Pagan's releases then that's a negative, and the fact that this mix at times has a more techy than housey feel, well that's going to put another demographic off it.
To me it's a perfect summation of what eventually became known as Tech House and is a far better example than Terry Francis's Architecture which came out in the same year (although Vol. 2 is pretty good).
Using Pagan's back catalogue as his source, Carter sublimely mixes his way through some of the choicest cuts on offer.
Swayzak, Attaboy, Terry Francis and Paul Hester's offerings feel the most tech inspired, whilst Dino & Terry, Salt City Orchestra and Freaks offer up some fine housey funk fair. In between all this tech and house business Carter mixes and blends with aplomb; long and smooth mixes that only serve to enhance the mix.
I remember viewing the Tech House 'phenomenon' with amusement as house and techno sort of merged (even though they've had a symbiotic relation since the mid 80s). Progressive house fans seemed to enjoy the new genre and as time has moved on the peeps into that all seem to be amongst the 'minimal' lot now (who sometimes have the audacity to tell me that Robert Hood 'isn't minimal'!). Anyway as Tech House was in its infancy there was a brief period were DJs like Derrick Carter pulled commercial mixes like this out of the bag; thoroughly enjoyable tech-inspired tunes mixed at 120bpms with a funk and flair that people like Mike Grant, Theo Parrish and Moodymann have been doing for donkeys.
