This renewed a passion in DJing that Jon once had in high-school, spinning hip-hop music.

Ian Ossia And Nigel Dawson - Renaissance Presents... Volume 1 - 12-Jun-06 06:19 AM
With this being the first (and only to date) Renaissance commercial release for Ian Ossia & Nigel Dawson, they certainly put in a great effort. With an impecible track selection and flawless mixing, this is one of my favorite Renaissance mixes yet. Disc 1 starts with a perfect intro track and from there transitions between classic trance, progressive house, tribal, and even ends with a few great breakbeat tracks. Disc 2 begins very atmospheric and light but by track 5, Nigel has broght in some of the best peak time tracks from 97-98. The section of tracks 5 - 10 on Nigel's disc will rival any other top mix (Sasha's GU009, Renaissance Ibiza by Deep Dish, etc). For those who enjoyed Paul Oakenfold's GU007 New York, this matches the track selection and blows away the mixing.
