Re: Felix Da Housecat To Do The Next Global Underground

I actually dug the Romania mix from Lavelle just for it's scattergun kind of approach, even more so when I listened to the 3 part live recording. It also helps that I'm a fan of Queens of the Stone Age because of his remixes.

Nothing wrong with Barcelona, it outlived much progg fodder.

Re: Felix Da Housecat To Do The Next Global Underground

It's still not a mix that's as good as his Barcelona and Romania mixes (also two mixes that don't get a lot of love here).

I am a big fan of Barcelona, both cds are exceptionally well put together, especially the breaks one, which I cannot praise enough

but I can't say the same about Romania, which was too self-centered dare I say, and it didn't do the talent of Lavelle justice, not as a dj and as a producer, maybe it was simply a bad idea to put out mixes like that specifically on a GU imprint IMO

Re: Felix Da Housecat To Do The Next Global Underground

The Carl Cox one is brutal. I didn't mind James Lavelle in Bangkok, seeing as he was trying something vastly different than the other mixes - and I generally like what he's done production wise. It's still not a mix that's as good as his Barcelona and Romania mixes (also two mixes that don't get a lot of love here).

I think I've listened to the L&B mix...twice?

The Adam Freeland mix was kind of disappointing as well, just like the Plump DJ's double cd - both are incredible breaks DJs and it feels like they couldn't let loose. Part of me wonders if that was a licensing issue, or if something else interfered with the development of the mixes.

^Ditto. Never opened the L&B one.

Re: Felix Da Housecat To Do The Next Global Underground

There are only 2 GU's I have never managed to finish listening to, because they were so bad, Layo & Bushwacka's and James Lavelle Bangkok. Adam Freeleand's was difficult.

Never heard the Carl Cox one so I can't comment.

Nose bleed techno doesn't normally work well at an afterparty. It tends to send everyone home early.

I liked Sharam's Dubai mix as well. Flowed well, great mix to put on while at a house party.

As for Felix's mix - I didn't really like it - he's a better producer than a dj in my eyes.

Re: Felix Da Housecat To Do The Next Global Underground

I don't think anything can be worse than Sharam's effort

Actually, there were a lot of great tracks on that mix. The problem was he packed to many emotional tracks into it. The amount of tracks I have found while doing tracklistings that were on that mix is unreal, and they were all great tracks, that seemed to go unnoticed on that mix.

Re: Felix Da Housecat To Do The Next Global Underground

Yes, it's not bad. I wouldn't buy it though.

Re: Felix Da Housecat To Do The Next Global Underground

I actually had a punt on this last week and was quite suprised. It covers quite a few genres, but I think did it fairly well. I think it was born to fail, it was certainly interesting.
