Judge Jules - Clubber's Guide To... Ibiza - Summer Ninety Nine

If there is ever a mix compilation that sums up the summer of 1999 then this is it. To some degree, you look at the tracklisting and what tunes went on to become "Anthems" and this mix CD pretty much gets it right.

The second disc in particular is an unrepenting full on euphoric rush throughout. Kicking of with a sublime Lange remix of Friends Of Matthew "Out There" which has one of the best breakdowns i have heard. There are another 2 Lange productions to follow which shows why he along with Signum, Ferry Corsten, and Matt Darey dominated 1999.

The highlight on this CD is the excellent Lovechild with "Liberta" in its Moonman Remix guise. A tune that for me personally, sums up the 1999 era perfectly.

The mixing is also spot on, this was a time when Judge Jules was at the top of his game. He was breaking through at this point in a big way and this compilation shows us just why. From the impeccable tune selection, to the tight chunky mixing through to what has always been Jules meal ticket; the way in which he programmes his tunes, this mix CD is a must have and comes highly recommended, even if you claim to dislike Judge Jules, there are a few tunes on here you probably secretly liked. Listen to this and you'll be searching for that old "TUNE!" sign, or wandering where you fridge magnet t-shirt went.
