Review by Srbine Dec 04, 2005 (edited over 3 years ago)
Blank & Jones have been in this scene now for many years. They have done many great albums that has recieved great response around the world. They have also done the magical albums Relax 1 and 2 were they proved that they also can do beautiful Chillout. You can hear on their prouducions that they really works a lot on their tracks that always reults in perfection and great response around the world..
Review by Raijin Feb 26, 2005 (edited over 4 years ago)
LOL I'll agree with you. Blank & Jones, although they seem to enjoy themselves immensely while spinning...almost to much, they really should work on their mixing. Their performance at Trance Energy 2002 was questionable at best... Their mix of their own track "Desire" into "Marc Dawn - Expander (Flutlicht Remix)" was extremely short and sloppy, and sadly gave the formula for their mixing for the rest of the set. I have no problems with their productions whatsoever though, many a Blank & Jones track have I enjoyed and spun.

Blank & Jones, props for your spirit and production. Take some pointers from those who have gone and mixed before you. *cough*DJ Jean*cough*
Review by MrFonktrain Apr 18, 2003
Two of the most ludicrous guys in electronic music business.

When spinning, they're behaving like some sort of jumping jacks behind the turntables, and when they've failed another mix they're yelling their battle call "Freuundeeeeeeee"
