You wouldn't happen to be talking about illegal burning of CD's .... and from a moderator no less!

Since you're working now I would have thought that the quickest way to increase your collection would have been to buy some of them! :p

Anyway, slightly off topic, but what is everyone's favourite GU CD's?

I'll add my .02c once I've had a chance to think about it properly, but I'm enjoying the new 24/7 series and loved most of the Nubreed's.

Is Tenaglia 10 the one from Greece with the Miss Kitten & Hacker track, 'Frank Sinatra'? that tune cracks me up!
I don't have that one but I have the next Tenaglia (17 from London think?). Nice dirty house.

Howell's 24/7 is pretty much all house. Fantastic mix. Looking forward to Burridge's 24/7 and also his tour in October.

Apparently the 24/7 series is replacing Nubreed which is a shame as almost all the Nubreed CDs rocked...more than the last few main mixes anyway.

The GU series would have to be one of the best CD series going around. I got stacks of the GUs but have only one Nu Breed. Need to get more of them. MY favourites would have to be (in no particular order)

Sashsa - San franscisco (GU9 I think)
Dave Seaman - Buenos Aries (GU12)
John Digweed - Los Angeles (GU19)
Deep Dish - Moscow (GU21)
John Lavelle - Barcelona (GU23)

Of course, all the others rock too. Just my favs.

i got most of them lying around on mp3 on a couple of CDs somewhere.


they "used" to be the best series... now I think Fabric and FabricLIVE have taken that prize judging by the weak GU25 release from Deep Dish.


that aside...
agree with heathy about GU13... an under-rated mix with some brilliant tunage including Sander's timeless "My Lexicon" and BT's "Fibonicchi Sequence"

mathematics is the language of the rich.

GU09 was fantastic when you consider that that style of progressive (it WAS progressive trance) was mixed well, with not many of the tracks lasting over 5mins (which in progressive terms is pretty quick)... the benefits of key mixing!

barcelona was a poor attempt at a breaks mix (cd2 anyways) and lavelle shouldn't have been considered ahead of DJs like freeland, hyper or lee coombs.

i did like the rawness of Emersons' efforts... nice to hear another sound being brought out.

Quite liked Lavelle's CD. Shit house DJ in the flesh but his GU was a brave attempt to do something a little different then just 'bog prog.' Nick Warren's Reykajvik was also good but Danny Howell's 24:7 is sublime.

Another personal favourite is Digweed - Sydney (GU006)

Yeah, I must admit Emerson in Uruguay really grew on me. The more I listened to it, the more I liked it. haven't heard GU20 Emerson in Singapore though. Is it similar and is it any good?

Singapore was intended as more of a decade of house retrospective. Haven't actually heard it myself though.

Yeah, Sasha in Ibiza is pretty good as well. Just prefer some of the other GU than to this one myself. I actually think San Franscisco is better then Ibiza. San Franscisco was the first one I did hear though.

I have to say though that Mercury and Solace is by far my favourite BT track. Can listen to that track over and over again easily. What a choon!!!!!!!!!!!!!

err..the faster something is doesn't mean the less commercial it is Naked!

Hard house/hard Trance/NRG clubs and music attract just as mainstream a following as progressive. Infact, I'd say that they attract even more mainstream an audience. Look around you at Hard NRG clubs. Im my experience most of the people in attendance are younger and it is the first type of dance-music they get into. Sure, some stay, but many move on to other forms of dance music.

As I said in another thread, clubs like Hard Kandy and Bass Station who you are a fan of do just as much, of not more, promotion than any other clubs in Australia which is a big part of commercialisation is it not?

And in the last year or so the media has turned against progressive in a big way. Hard NRG/Hard House/Hard trance DJs are just as likely to be on the front cover of a dance music magazine.

I disagree, i dont often see some hard nrg/hardcore etc dj on the front of ministry, i see 'Ken' of 4 Strings or some cheesy UK dj instead!! I dont think harder = underground, i think different sounds and experimenting is a precursor for underground tracks, while commercial is sticking to a forumla....a lot of hardcore you find is pretty commercial, and all sounds the same, however if you listen to say, kevin energy (freeform, but basically a mix of hardcore/hard trance) THAT stuff is undergroundish...

just coz a dj gets on the front cover of a magazine doesnt makin him a "commercial dj" using that theory.... ok take Nick Warren for example, just coz he has been on the cover of a mag (i dont know of any he has been) its usually to do with some for of success he has had..

anyway i see hard house guys on the front of mags like mixmag regularly...

and on the theory of sticking to the same formula, i can easily say i think that bout hard house/freeform ... but thats prolly just coz i dont listen to/enjoy the music so its all boring to me.


has any of that made any sense

Usually the ones plastered over a magazine cover have had a cd that is now listed in top40 or someshit, or DanceArenas top 10 chart. Anyhow, each to their own...

i cant recall a single GU CD/ Prog cd making it into the top 40


however as far as i recall hard house/hardcore cd's dominate the dance arena top 10..

you mentioned in another thread recently about how you have a good idea of different dance music genres. If you consider 4 Strings to be anything like Sasha, Pappa, Howells or pretty much any of the GU DJs you really don't know much about anything other than the harder genres.

I don't have any of the GU CD's - I am sure if I bought any of them I would get the TDV one!

As for Nick Warren he was boring as at Heaven - if his mix CD's are like the set he played there I will def be passing that by!

After an hour and a half of tedium I had to venture into the other room where Mr. Sssshhh saved the day with some dance music that you could actually dance to!:p
