Oscar Mulero - Tresor Mix: Under Review

Flippin' heck. Mulero really pulls it out of the bag in what has to be the mix of the year. Simply astonishing from start to finish.
Firstly there's the tracklist, which displays Mulero's keen ear for what needed to be 'reviewed' for one of the most original and important techno labels of the last two decades. For me personally it's a showcase of the Detroit-Berlin connection, but the emphasis is certainly on the production skills of the Detroitmeisters.
Drexciya and Juan Atkin's soulful Motor City sounds echo through the mix whilst Hoods M-Plant-tronics and Mills space waves whirr and wash the mix with the past, present and future of techno.
Helping thread this tapestry of techno and electro classics, contributions from Amsterdam's finest the Hood-like Steve Rachmad, whilst the UK is represented by Tresor stalwarts Surgeon, James Ruskin and Female. Dan Bell's bleeptastic Acid Phreak makes a welcome appearance and Mulero himself also joins the mix. Of course a Tresor mix wouldn't be complete without Pacou and Mulero duly delivers up some of Pacou's finest cuts.
Standout tracks for me have to include: Hoods utterly beguiling Steve Reichlike Minus; Sterac's ode to the Motor City Liteon and of course Drexciya's sublime and magical Andreaen Sand Dunes.
The mixing itself is precision perfect with plenty of subtle EQing that blends one track into the other seamlessly and when some tracks deserve more of an airing then they damn well get it.
I reckon this is my favourite Tresor mix and it does the label and Mulero proud - a true celebration of pure techno in all its soulful, machinelike and blissful glory.
