I lve the Osborne remixes! It's hard for me to pick a fave though -
I'm playing the Matthew Dear one the most at the moment. (You can get
the TNT mix for free mp3 download from www.ghostly.com along with a
whole heap of other goodies).

I'm also enjoying:

Minority EP on Tunnel 7
M.I.A. feat. Tek Bros - 'All I need' on L-3000 (a great track to mix
after the Carl Craig rmx of 'Tides', BTW)
Narcotic Syntax release on Perlon

Also I was surfing Juno yesterday and found a track by Zap Mama called
'Bandy Bandy' which has a couple of Carl Craig remixes on it - C2 has
now turned his attention toward contemporary dancehall it seems. I like
it. Well, I like the crappy sample of it at least!

I was at Tresor for the first time back in Feb, and it also took us an
hour or two to figure out there were more rooms.  The basement is
*insane*, has to be one of the most intense techno-related experiences
anywhere.  Sounds like I need to go back and do a bit more exploring; I
must have missed the Globus room completely...
The other great thing about Tresor is the cost.  10 Euros for Blake
Baxter, Pacou, and a host of others I can't recall at the moment -- plus
cheap beer.  
Did you stay at The Circus Hostel?  that place is amazing...

 I have to say Alex this was my best gig ever becuase it was an 
 ultimatedream come true and I loved 
 the feel of the dark vault and its sweaty walls, its such a 
 contrast to 
 upstairs and if Tresor ever goes it will be 
 a tragedy thats for sure. 
 
 I'll bet Ian! 
 
 yeah, that's some dark ass action they got going on down there. 
 It's like 
 some sort of torture vault or something. 
 
 I have to say I liked upstairs though as well. Infact, I was in 
 the pub 
 last night and all my mates were pretty surprised that I thought 
 it was so 
 good... maybe it was because I was away and it all seemed 
 different. I 
 dunno, by the time I'd got to Tresor I'd been on a 24 hour non stop 
 drinking bender. So my opinions are probs skewed. 
 
 anyway I wrote a massive long post, I put a bit about tresor in so 
 I cp'd 
 so you can see my opinions on it. 
 
 5am came and the club shut. The rest of our boys had headed to 
 bed, but I 
 wasn't really up for going home, so Mike and I thought we'd head 
 over to 
 Tresor to see if it was still open. Arrived there 5.30 ish, walked 
 in and 
 it was JUMPING!! Pretty gob-smacked really, wasn't expecting much 
 at all, 
 but it was hot. Grabbed some beers, found ourselves a little 
 corner and 
 spent an hour or so dancing away, watching the ladies go by. So, 
 we were in 
 this room on the ground floor, and thought this was it - I was 
 surprisedthat the music wasn't really banging, I heard Metro Area 
 5 again in here, 
 some other stuff that I'm guessing was sort of Kompakt style 
 things and 
 some kinda modern poppy italo electronic stuff which I didn't have 
 a clue 
 what it was. The dj couldn't really beat match that well, but was 
 workinghis records and pretty much had the crowd eating out of his 
 hand. Everybody 
 was going pretty wild... 
 
 It took at least an hour for us to realise that there was infact 
 more rooms 
 to it! The Globus room is quite thin, but very long with bars at 
 bothends, the dj box in the middle, raised up. High ceilings 
 didn't really 
 affect the sound at all and there was all the usual kinda 'club' 
 decorations in there... At one end of the room was a little door 
 leading to 
 a tiny back room that was also a bar. There was a great dj on in
here, 
 again playing a bit of everything, and a garden out back which I 
 sat in for 
 a while and listened to the chit the guy was playing. Nice
selections. 
 
 You had to go through this room to get to the famous Tresor vault. 
 Down the 
 stairs, past the merchandise stall and past another bar, there 
 were some 
 metal gates leading to the vault 
 
 Flippin 'eck! It was madness! Just a dark dark room (I couldnt see 
 my hand 
 infront of my face), a strobe, a low ceiling and it was packed 
 with loads 
 of mad german techno heads getting lost in the heavy heavy 'main 
 room at 
 Lost' kinda vibe. We spent a while down here. It was heavy s**t. 
 Dark dark 
 music, drum loops all the way, no melody, just driving hard music. 
 I guess 
 it could have been alot harder - UK heads, a Bicknell set in the 
 main room 
 at Lost was exactly what it was like They were using Ableton 
 Live too 
 when I popped over to have a look. I couldn't tell before I looked 
 thoughwhich I guess was a good thing. 
 
 so, anyway, we left tresor about 9.30 am and wondered the streets of

 Berlin, gazing at all the cool buildings in the basking sunshine. 
 No map, 
 didn't know where we were going but somehow ended up back on the 
 street to 
 out hostel. Stopped at the Petrol Station to find it sold
