I bet lots of younger listeners don’t know many of the tracks here.

I interviewed Photek about 15 years ago and these were the tracks he selected as his influences back then. Regardless about how you feel about his choices, you can’t say he made this up yesterday—just because you may have just jumped on the house music bandwagon and now have more obscure tastes.

I think lots of people would have seen Photek’s name on a mix and looked forward to hearing some of his new stuff that’s about. OK that doesn’t happen, so you see influences, OK this will be interesting, but then it’s just ‘now that’s what I call classic dance tracks’ and it’s hard not to think be a bit m’eh.

md, it might be called infulences mate but really did you get sucked in by that? are you telling me that Rupert had nothing people hadnt heard of that he was influenced by? if you are going to put Planet Rock in (and lets face it anyone of a certain age would have been influenced by that and many other such tunes) there is at least room for two bits that might be considered a little more unknown. but why do that? it doesn’t sell. its unbalanced and cynical

saw this via a link on facebook and felt i had to comment. after giving 25 years of my life to buying music, selling music and djing, i think im qualified to say that this really is a bit of a poor list of tunes. not that the tunes are bad, they are all classic i guess, its just the list lacks an unimaginative eye and looks to me just to be a cynical mix of easily licensable tunes with someones name stuck on it for a quick buck. thats most likely why there is negativity surrounding this. if you ‘dont need any more negativity surrounding this’ then try a bit harder that this frankly dumb mix of obvious and im some cases chart dance music.

Oh MY! You bought it from the man himself in 1992? Did you also purchase the right to suck his penis, the one you seem to be exercising now?

This mix is SHIT, no matter who its from. Whatever artistic prowess Rupert once possessed has long since DIED.

Shit mix from a former artist. Put that in your aged pipe and smoke it.

Yes, how dare he not fully think out his comment posted at the bottom of a mix. Totally unprofessional. He should be banned for his lackadaisical attitude towards the serious business of posting comments.

PS You’re an idiot.

some of the most immature people i know are in their thirties. i am twenty six, for my sins – my mother liked jungle ‘n’ bass, for hers. retrospectively though, that certificate 18 stuff is splendid – i was rather fond of old panoptica on there as well, when he came around – but being a little under a decade old, at the time, i was a bit too concerned with my teenage mutant hero (ninja) turtles to notice
