I literally walked out about 35 minutes into Sander's set at the LMR party. Rene smashed the place. Sander completely lost energy and couldn't regain it imo.
His essential mix is one of my favorites of the year. |

artists:
Samantha James (her album is one of the best of the year. Check it out!)
Young Punx ('Interplanetary' is a dancefloor BOMB!)
The :wtf: award for this year goes to Masters At Work, who are normally my fav producers and DJs. This year they put out a remix CD for "Work" which wasn't that good, and new mixes for "Love and Happiness", which was merely OK. They redeemed themselves with "Strictly MAW", which is pretty good, and Louie has been releasing a lot of mixed comps lately. Kenny has done some good remixes this year as well ("Get Down" on Strictly Rhythm comes to mind) So MAW = all over the radar quality-wise, generally not as good as before but still very good overall. |
