James Zabiela Essential Mix 3 Apr 2010

Its about time they got someone decent. The Essential Mix has gone down hill in the last few years

Actually if you just listen to it selectively it's not bad. Faithless, Simian Mobile Disco, Christian Smith, Four Tet, Noisia & John 00 Flemming have all been excellent - and that's just the first 3 months of this year. Agree the crap quota seems to be at it's highest level since the dark days of 2001.

That said - I'm super excited to see Zabiela back! About we had Tenaglia back - 16 years and waiting :lol:

hell yeah!

I'm really looking forward to chilling out to this tonight. big time.

zabiela never fails to deliver. has he ever put out or recorded a dull mix? I submit that he has not.

Radio 1 on Friday's is a glorious way to end the week and begin the weekend.

Re: James Zabiela Essential Mix 3 Apr 2010

His new CD is really good. I'll be expecting something along similar lines. Looking forward to this.

I'm loving the opening to his mix here. very ethereal

#1355418Post 18 of 52

Re: James Zabiela Essential Mix 3 Apr 2010

this is more of a background music E-mix from JZ (imo). I haven't really been up to speed with his live sets, but this doesn't sound like something he'd play live.

ends with some great dnb though.

Re: James Zabiela Essential Mix 3 Apr 2010

i liked it, but didnt love it as much as i thought i might. That sometimes happens with these concept type mixes tho.....

#1355672Post 24 of 52

Re: James Zabiela Essential Mix 3 Apr 2010

I am not sure i get this mix, the middle part is ok but the start and end is not doing it for me !!

#1355690Post 25 of 52

Re: James Zabiela Essential Mix 3 Apr 2010

Somehow this concept mix probably wasn't what fans were expecting I actually think this mix will date really well like Oakenfolds in 1997 and Danny Howells first full essential mix think it was 2001 with the Beatles in it and the clash just give it time and it will grow

#1355692Post 26 of 52

Re: James Zabiela Essential Mix 3 Apr 2010

Just finshed listening to it, and enjoyed it quite a lot. Thx for the heads up.

#1355780Post 27 of 52

Re: James Zabiela Essential Mix 3 Apr 2010

The first 20 mintues were a bit out there but since then its decent....Burnt Bridges is such a great track.

[quote=james zabiela][COLOR="SandyBrown"]Really nice to see some of you are enjoying this mix :)

I was worried as it was a bit rushed as I had the dreaded laptop fail whilst working on it, so it's not quite as it should be. If you like this you may like the new Renaissance CD I made I'm far happier with that as it wasn't rushed and my laptop worked hah!

Once it's run it's course on iPlayer. I'll upload the Essential Mix minus Radio 1 stuff - although they were quite respectful I felt with the jingles etc

Thanks for making my day.

i think it's pretty tight. although the dialogue samples are kinda irritating.

That was one of his best mixes ever. When he was at the top of his game.

This mix however, is top shelf.

Re: James Zabiela Essential Mix 3 Apr 2010

I really enjoyed this mix. It easily stands out from the rest of the recent Essential Mixes in my opinion. I liked the movie Moon so I didn't mind the sound clips; I thought they gave the mix a cool vibe. Yeah, concept mixes can be kind of unusual but I was feeling this one. Good job to Mr. Z.

Re: James Zabiela Essential Mix 3 Apr 2010

I have to review my earlier comment...after listening to this mix again, it stared to grow on my and quite like it.

I guess it's this kinds of set that you need to be in right mood to really appreciate.
