Various - Underdog Edits Box Set - 22-Dec-07 01:19 AM
I heard of the Underdog from a popular web forum. And although I cant think of anyone that has anything bad to say about his work, I was leery about taking such a big leap into disco/ early house edits, as most that I've heard in the past, were simply not very good. After hearing the selection on the boxset, I am glad I took the leap of faith. Hearing the selection, it seems that Underdog paid a lot of attention to the music; staying as true to the original feel of each track as possible. Underdog managed to maintain the quality of the sound as well. In fact, one might even think that these were the unspoken works of such masters like Hardy, Moulton, Krivit, Petibone, or Levan. To make such a comparison to these folks may be a stretch to some of you reading this but I think the comparison is well deserved; especially when I think of many of today's so-called remixers/ producer/ djs out there that overdo things and make a mess of a good song.

Looking at my box, I can see it faintly has the number 52 on it. I am told that there are only 150 of these boxsets in existence, and heard that once this run was done, that was it. Granted, life would go on if you managed to cop a few of the 11 vinyls in the set, but if you are a professional dj, or a serious hobbyist, I would suggest picking up the box set if possible.
