i didnt notice anything weird about the kicks on my copy. i do
love how dirty and nasty nyrobi knight and dirty are. its almost
similar to stuff ive been working on in level of grit.
BTW, if youve never seen malik play records, you really should.
hes f*cking amazing. after seeing him a couple times this past
year at the festival and having had a mix CD of his for a while,
he's gotta be in my top 3 deejays of all time, right behind shake
and theo.

that one is nice. the jam ive rediscovered recently is that remix
on the juju and jordashe 12" on psychostasia. it sounds really hot
on a loud system and that sax bit is just stellar. its much more
dancefloor friendly than it sounds on a home system.

dont know if thats a DEC sample or not, but i thought that young
seth joint was the best one on there. very minimal and
understated, very reminiscient of "just ask the lonely" by omar-s
(which might actually be eclipsing recloose's "dust" as my
favorite track of the year). i do hope they keep releasing stuff
like malik's record and that comp, as much as i love omar-s its
always good to have some variety. especially with the super fast
release schedule they seem to be rocking these days.
speaking of omar-s, that track on 007 is just bananas. again, it
sounds much better loud. its so much fun to mix in, those weird
percussion sounds seem to catch peoples ear and then the loop in
the background builds it up very nicely. super hot. i play
multiple fxhe records every time i deejay. theyre killing me right
now with the amount of goodness theyre putting out.
