Re: New Global Underground; Nic Fancuilli

Maybe Nick gets all these GUs because he has been around long enough to get his tracks at mates rates Just kidding

I think Hernan has done the same amount of Renaissance Cd's as Nick had done GU's if you only go back till 2000. I think the big difference is GU have had a load of turkeys in between the Warren releases, where as Renaissance have had plenty of quality releases.

Re: New Global Underground; Nic Fancuilli

What gu's have been better in the last 2-3 years compared to Nick Warrens?

Re: New Global Underground; Nic Fancuilli

GU's form has been fairly poor but Nick Warren's latest was great..

Without a doubt.. however I was really peeved when I first heard he was doing GU 35... I mean come on there are a million dj's to choose from. But after 33 and 34, it was a welcome break

Re: New Global Underground; Nic Fancuilli

I'm guessing the DJ has a budget on how much they can spend on licencing the tracks. So they could spend more on one track and less on another, depending on how much the artist or his record label want for it. I know in the 90's a lot of artists / Labels thought that once they had been approached by GU to licence the track they where guaranteed to be on the CD so asked for stupid money and as a result never made it onto the CD's. I also remember an Artist posting on GU that he had 2 tracks that had been licenced and had not been paid for them. But the track selection come purley down` to the DJ in the end.

Remember that well - it was Barry Robb from Sphere who posted that he had not been paid. Think it all got sorted in the end though.

Re: New Global Underground; Nic Fancuilli

Does the GU label have any say in what a DJ puts in their mixes? Would that explain why so many GUs have been so shit (doesn't explain Nick Warren and his track selections though)? Or is it entirely the fault of a lousy roster of DJs?

Re: New Global Underground; Nic Fancuilli

I dont like it
I dont understand what is he triying to do with the new GU series

I think they are just trying to make money without having to spend to much. I'm fairly sure that the only reason that GU did the 24/7 Cd's was because Danny Howells & Lee Burridge both had contracts to do a GU Cd's before they went into liquidation and 24/7 was cheaper to do than a locations CD. Danny Howells & Lee Burridge where both quoted as saying in the 2002 DJ Magazine poll that they where looking forward to doing their first proper GU in 2003.
