There is some Chain Reaction on there, hard minimal (Surgeon/Mark Bell/Ratio (and other Central projects), and there is even some Dopplereffekt (electro) Plus, unlike most of the other Dj Kicks he is actually djing on it.

Mixing > ability and novelty? Young. Carl Craig is one of my favorite artists, but his Dj Kicks is not one of my favorites. Some of his mixes are just wacked as hell. There are some good tunes and I am happy I own it. > "I've listened to Claude's more than all except > Kemistry and Storm's." > > Yeah, I've listened to the Kemistry and Storm CD a > lot of late and it is > some REALLY dark stuff . . . those girls bang hard. > Can anyone vouch that > the cd is indeed a fair representation of their > actual mixing skills or has > someone done some extensive pro-tools-type editing . > . . if it's a live > turntable to recording mix, color me impressed . . . I haven't picked this one up yet. I wasn't in a real hurry to buy this, since I already own most of the tracks they play. I saw them spin a little while ago and they are damn good. They wouldn't need to use any computer editing, but that doesn't mean they didn't. I'll have to listen to it before I could really comment. They are really good djs so I would expect that they actually mixed it. _________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
