datacentersessions_005

Excessive optimism mixed with insufficient knowledge doesn't produce good results.

One of the only other surviving early datacentersessions sets, mixed on early 2000s hardware. The first pivot into deep house, with many familiar names showing up again in later-era sets. Despite some real banger tracks, this set is absolutely filled with trainwrecks. The pressure of real-time mixing was still very new to me and I didn't have the foresight to plan ahead before starting a session. That Frankie Knuckles mashup in Mark Knight's "You've Got The Love" remix is still stellar, even 13 years later.
