Thoughts? I think of the 3, this is my favourite Quattro release. I wasn't interested on the Breaks mix, but after listening through, loved it.

Re: Quattro III

I agree, defo the best one from 3. Tempo mix is hypnotizing

Re: Quattro III

I was going to pass on it but given what I'm hearing maybe I'll reconsider. I haven't gone back to listen to either Quattro 1 or 2 since I got them, and I went and did the whole vinyl pack for both. While I like having a vinyl collection, as I get older I wonder "what the fuck are you doing spending so much on these releases that really, you don't buy to play them...you buy to have them?" I never even opened the vinyl packs...I think I'd rather sell them or something because I know I won't miss them.

That said, the Stelios Vassiloudis remix of Forge was really really something...beautiful arrangement and intricate build into the recognizable hook.

Re: Quattro III

As I posted in GYY I was eagerly awaiting this release and always pre-order the CD+Vinyl package.

I love the Quattro concept all around and found this to (possibly recency bias) be my favorite in the series. I might not love every track, but the sum of the parts make for a lovely listen.

Re: Quattro III

Standout tracks for me:

Disc 1 - Soundscape

Not many standout tracks for me on disc 1 but I did enjoy this as a continuous mix

Quivver - Nothing New To Feel (Lexer Stripped Version)

Disc 2 - Tempo

Love this disc of the compilation!

DNA Presents - Ecstasy (Dimitri Nakov & Limara Remix) Evans - Norse Hermanez - Radius Dino Lenny - Rocking To The Rhythm

Disc 3 - Breaks

Also loved this as a continuous mix.

Quivver - Nothing New To Feel (Lexer Breaks Mix) Circulation - Fruju The Morning Factory - Unicron

Disc 4 - Redux

No standout tracks and my least favorite disc on the compilation

Disc 5 - Miles Atmospheric - Ancestral Communication

Didn't care for this album much, but two tracks stood out on their own

Miles Atmospheric - Axiom Miles Atmospheric - Tranquility

Have this in my cart but haven't bought just yet - this thread was a reminder that I definitely need to!

Re: Quattro III

Is there a website were you can only purchase the mixed sets? I see you can individually purchase tracks but not the full length mixes....

Not that I can find. The continuous mixes are bundled with the singles for each disc on both Bandcamp and Beatport for what it is worth...

There's the "mixed" version being sold on iTunes but it's not the 5 mixes...it's the individual tracks, all 51 of them, in the mixed format. So if you put them all in a playlist, they'll play seamelessly but you've also got 51 tracks that by themselves are probably useless.

Re: Quattro III

if a forth one gets released how would he name it :p

Re: Quattro III

Tempo is a great set. Lovely deep vibe in places, Radius is a lovely track. Dino Lenny's well placed, and picks up quite a bit by the end. I would've preferred another 10mins of deep dubby tech house than the ambient intro stuff.

That damn charlie may redub of bass melody owns me.

Re: Quattro III

Also, the break set is softer than i expected, and makes some average tracks sound better.
