I don't understand what anyone could find wrong with the mixing on Stacey
Pullen's DJ kicks cd...in fact, the cd was admittedly perfected/enhanced
with studio effects. The Carl Craig cd isn't really beatmixed...its simply
segued together. The tracks rock, indeed, but I can definitely see people
having issues with Craig's DJing on that cd. 

In my opinion, though, if one is going to pan any of the DJ Kicks CDs, my
choice would be the first one: CJ Bolland's mix. Now, that cd is not mixed
well, at all...Bolland definitely pulls off some shaky mixes that are
really apparent because most of the stuff he played was pretty hard
techno....its much more difficult to get away with shaky mixing when yer
playin' the harder stuff.

Another thing, I understand that Stacey Pullen has plans on doing another
mix cd sometime next year hopefully, once he finishes all the work on his
album for Virgin/Science/Astralwerks. Anyone else have any info on this?
