I’ve been waiting a long time for a DJ mix to really thrill in the way that the classic Coldcut Journeys by DJ mix – 70 minutes of madness did. That JDJ mix stood out back in late 1997 among the early craze for DJ mix CD’s in the years before Pandora and Soundcloud. This FlyLo mix sits easier in the current electronic music landscape but still is thankfully somewhat weird, holding the listener back from embracing everything on the first listen – encouraging another listen on the ‘phones.
It also took me several years to find this newcomer, Flying Lotus essential mix from the close of 2008, and now I’m annoyed that I missed him at Moogfest last year.
