Global Underground 32: Mexico City (2CD)

I have personally found some of Adam Freeland's recent stuff (particularly remixes) a little boring, and so was slightly apprehensive befofe I first bought this album on CD, but after a few listens I loved it and decided to also get it on vinyl so I can include some of these tracks in my DJ sets. The first CD is a kind of twitchy/stompy/quirky electro beast which shows Mr Freeland is clearly moving away from his breaks past and to a crazier erol alkan/justice/mr oizo style electro mash up. It also features top artists such as Switch, SebastiAn, Etienne de Crecy and Optimo. The 2nd disc is a more chilled out minimal collection but it still retains the beat and edginess of the first and is perfect for putting on after getting back from a late night's dancing.

Buy this if you liked: Erol Alkan's Bugged Out Mix; Kitsune Maison Vol 3; Evil Nine Fabriclive; or if you like artists such as Justice, Switch, Digitalism, or 2manydjs.

Also worth checking out is Freeland's Back To Mine compilation- not the same type of music as here but i challenge anyone not to like it.

I bought this cd almost exclusively for two songs in particular ( dj mehdi signatune and dump truck) well the first one lasts only 1 minute and the other one is 0:50 seconds.
If I had known that I would have never bought this album

Myself a huge fan of the GU label but this latest edition is not worth it. Loads of pling and bleep without consistency, constructive built up and highlights. It listens like a compilation that is just smacked together...

Spent your money on the GU albums by Warren, Dubfire and Sharam (the latest one), which proof that GU label indeed is worth collecting.

Not my style, not GU style either
