Most of their mixes are mastered Mac, not coz they use beat counters. Any idiot can count bars, it's not too hard tbh, unless you're listening to the likes of Venetian Snares etc, who use odd time signatures in their tracks. I have nothing against CDJ's btw, or Controllers! As long as the DJ i'm listening to can put a mix together i'm grand.
Oh and once they post a tracklist with that mix too

This is what i mean by "odd time signatures" btw, most music you'll listen to is 4/4, this is 7/4. Meaning there are 7 beats in a bar, basically. So instead of 1234, 2234, 3234, 4234. It'll be 1234567, 2234567, 3234567, 4234567
Might be a bit of a head **** to follow at 1st, but thats the way music can be sometimes
:D:D:D
Check it out anyway, great track
Even if the beats were 4 on the floor, and not jungle, it would still be same time sig btw.0 -

I actually think most of the well establish DJ's have lost their way and need to reconnect with their audience. Maybe they are dictated to and tow the line on the artists to include in their mixes or whatever but there is something seriously wrong. The funny thing is that it is being just swallowed now by fans who know no better. They really need to listen back to the older mixes to understand how the reputation was made in the first place!!
I remember seeing coxy at the Ormond and he was seriously Kickin'. I mean the place was Rockin'!! We were talking about it for a long time after. Now I wouldn't be bothered seeing him judging by what he is putting out now. The 3 deck wizard has hung up his cans as far as I am concerned. Sad day, sad day indeed.0 -

Mr Cox is 50 years old now, I can't imagine sifting through the latest slices of techno is high on his list these days, especially with the cash he's likely to have made over the years! That said, I hope I'm still looking out for good techno when I'm 50 :pac:
Stumbled across this while doing some youtube wandering tonight over a glass of wine, how times have changed... always loved the sold kick-drum intro to this, nice to mix.

When i think of Coxy, it's the likes of this
really couldn't care less what he played after 1994 tbh!
He's been coasting on his rep ever since imo!!0 -
Another random find, such a loss to music with Pete Namlook passing away last year.

The first two Trance Europe Express compilations will also remind me of the early 90s, before any of us had decks we used to stick these on and dance till the early hours of the morning after whatever club we'd have been in... this one always had the room hopping.
Hardfloor - Reverberate Opinion
This (cassette) tended to get stuck on then at some stage too.
"1, 2... Manchester how you feelin... are you ready?" Anyone have a good rip of this actually?
