"Keep in mind you must firmly be interested in minimal to truly enjoy this solid mix, as it's a mellow, moody trip through a lot of similar sounding beats. It may be too repititious for the casual listener, and I admit it took me a second listen to really appreciate it better.



The first 4 tracks are a great start with some groovy minimal, then it's into some spacey sounding techno with track 5. The middle of the mix features some excellent glitchy minimal, like track 9, Rio Besenresier, and then there's the hot melody of Matt John's the Rising Scope, which fades nicely into Butane's industrial techno track Next. Tracks 13-15 are the peak of the mix, in terms of BPM's as the pace really picks up here, until slowly dropping back down again. The end of the mix is full of some downtempo groovy house sounds, and Luciano fills nearly the entire CD using over 1 hour and 19 minutes for this mix.



It's an interesting stroll through minimal and very good listen."
