Re: Global Underground #040
well at least its not nick or dave again!
but kaiserdisco?? says a lot about the current scene. they should have got guetta to do it!
by the way, what happened to Nubreed.? the sultan release was top notch. I was hoping they would start putting out some decent dj's unlike the other DJ series that was a bit wank.
Re: Global Underground #040
Based on the last two Transitions guest mixes people like Max Cooper and Kollektiv Turmstrasse could be given a go, but they wouldn't sell.
I'd be interested to see what Villalobos could do, but then he'd be very much against a branded release.
Re: Global Underground #040
It's an old thread, there's no Kaiserdisco GU.
Re: Global Underground #040
Yes, someone has to change the title.
Moreover, GU, is slowly dying, if they already didn´t, completely forgot the essence of this series, the music changes, We are old, kids control the world, and all that shit. I know, but they did nothing to maintain quality, calling Carl Cox, Felix "the cat", etc., just to raise money, or I dont know for what and then stopped, even of all the series. ' Hopefully, they can come back with something more interesting than marketing.

They are already dead the last GU release was over 2 years ago now and that didn't really set the world on fire. I would be surprised if Adam Freeland, FDHC and Layo & Bushwacka sold more CD's put together than the last Nick Warren GU mix. If you put toether the last 2 Transitions CD's Digweed released and repackaged them as GU 40 would the have saved the brand? No! You only have to look at Renaissance to see that.
Re: Global Underground #040
You can go on and on for days, the label died, no one is asking for Warren or Seaman, you brought that up (many times). The whole debate about the changing scene is based on reality but that has little to do with GU. As the original team is no more and the brand itself is dead (a handful of releases months and months ago, that's it).
Anyway, old and new tirades about Global Underground are irrelevant, this is a thread from last year, nothing changed, apart from the fact that Kaiserdisco thankfully was never released and the fake Nubreed was stopped too.
Re: Global Underground #040
Was there any DJ that could have saved the label? Can anyone think of a mix CD by any DJ since 2002 that had it been branded GU whatever and made a major impact? No because there isn't one
Re: Global Underground #040
I agree. I agree on every point. GU is history! Some releases were pure jokes. I just hope this thread doesn't give label people strange ideas :D.
Re: Global Underground #040
Maybe not only one, but yes, a succession of DJs, to keep the quality line that the brand had. back in history, Warren, Seaman, Oakenfold, Digweed, Sasha, etc, and the last ones, lavelle, Freeland, layo, felix etc. the trend is very clear, even now, there are a lot of new talent Besides the classic djs of this series.
Re: Global Underground #040
Henry Saiz might have made a cool GU.
Re: Global Underground #040
Exactly. But they were no longer in charge of the label and the new owner didn't give a fuck, as we've been repeating for the past 5 years or so.

Put a GU sticker on his Balance CD then answer that again

You think having Andy Horsfield at the helm would have made a difference? MOS didn't get GU until 2007, it was fucked long before then
Re: Global Underground #040
^Fuck you, lol.

Re: Global Underground #040
what ever happened to GU .. i have notbought a GU for years. Where is nubreed etc
Re: Global Underground #040
For the record, the Dave Seaman Lithuania Mix is a fantastic, very underrated mix album. The first cd especially. I believe this was the last of the main series to come out.
Re: Global Underground #040
Yes.

Re: Global Underground #040
^^^^ I mean its easily one of the best of the series IMO. Seaman really delivers on it. Second disc rocks too but loses me in the middle but finishes very strong. CD1 is absolutely amazing!
Re: Global Underground #040
Disc 1 is decent. But there are better free mixes on SC and MC the whole thing must be re-thunk. I can't believe labels can't offer lossless, gapless versions of their mixes, without format and Redbook limitations.

Re: Global Underground #040
so i want to listen to howells' miami, but the discs are on the other side of the world...i'll just buy it from itunes, but only have of it is up there. WTF. idiots.
Re: Global Underground #040
fucking amazon doesn't have the full thing either
Re: Global Underground #040
That was a good one, very summery.
Re: Global Underground #040
I think howells' miami mix was the last gu purchase i made. too bad.
Re: Global Underground #040
Don't think I ever heard the Seaman mix.
Re: Global Underground #040
It's really FAST for my tastes, now. But every GU up to 2005 circa is a classic on its own. I liked Darren Emerson's too. The one that was very uncharacteristic back then was Lavelle - Romania, painful.
There's a copy of the 4 CD Deep Dish Toronto available at Discogs but they want 50 eu. I'd love to have that one.

Re: Global Underground #040
^Toronto got released as 3 separate mixes and should be easy to find. I have the Toronto mix and also the Dubfire and Sharam afterclub mixes. All 3 releases are 2 discs each.
If the link above is the same as these 3 releases you should be able to find it easy.

His Uruguay mix was and still is one of my faves (besides his Cream separate mix)....Ron Trent's Altered States is one of the best tracks to close a mix!
Re: Global Underground #040
How many GUs got the plastic bag/bubble treatment, Simon? I have Tel Aviv and Nick Warren (003).
