| #1 / Mon, 15 Dec 08 10:06 i do agree: berghain vol 2 compiled and mixebd by marcel dettmann is outstanding and worth to lead the ranking. i do not agree with fabric #41 by luciano: this is imho a weaker testimony of his musical / technical skills, not to say a more or less boring compilation, not only in comparison to the following fabric compilations (âme & metro area) but also to the other mentioned and rated compilations. what a suprise, efdemin's "carry on..." is rated the second best compilation. why not? i like it too, heard it about 20 times and it is still on "heavy rotation" on my ipod.

| #2 / Mon, 15 Dec 08 10:48 Berghain 02 and Carry On for me too. Two astounding mixes.
Andy Stott's compilation was a big revelation for me too. I want all those records now, but they're hard to find.

I totally agree regarding Luciano's Fabric mix. He doesn't deserve a such high raking. Predictable mix which says it all about the artist... I actually can't believe he is still playing Orbitalife and Nesrib today!!

| #4 / Mon, 15 Dec 08 11:18 Yep, Luciano's effort was boring, like it was recorded a year ago or something. Glad to see Marcel Dettman top of the list, a proper reflection of whats going on week in week out in the inferno that is the Berghain!

| #5 / Mon, 15 Dec 08 11:30 why do people judge luciano's fabric by how dated the tracks are? look, it flows and mixed nicely and most importantly it makes you dance.

It's not about being dated, it's about being predictable!!!

| #9 / Mon, 15 Dec 08 12:49 but looking at the list i guess i just don't care about mix cds anymore, at all.

but dettmann's mix is certainly the best i've heard all year. i'll be very surprised if he isn't dj of the year.

because unless mixes have a timeless quality to them, they age very quickly and i can guarantee that very few people will listen to the Luciano Fabric cd in a few months. Actually is there anyone still listening to it? i doubt it. In a time where you can download thousands of dj sets over the internet you really need to come up with something special to make your compilation stands out. If you compare it to, let's say Michael Mayer or Andre Weatherall's Fabric cd, the Luciano mix is very dull. Those mixes were not relying purely on new stuff, the balance new / old / rare / obscure was perfect and the mixing was imaginative. Fabric 41 had nothing surprising and it won't stand the test of time (unlike Marcel Dettman's or the two Fabric cds mentioned above)

i'd be absolutely astonished if villalobos doesn't come top of that dj of the year poll. in fact i bet villalobos could spend the entire year playing only a single track in every one of his sets and come top of the  yearly dj poll.

 yeah thats very possible, mind you since his tracks usually last around 1 hour you are not far from the truth...

What has this got to do with it? So if you don’t like a dj’s mix or set you don’t say it just because you know him vaguely? That’s rubbish. If you can’t be honest about what you think then what is the point of writing comments? I am not a bootlicker, and what I say is not empty criticism either If Luciano is playing poorly I say it, end of. He knows anyway what are my feelings about the Fabric mix. I usually tell Djs when they were good but also when they were bad!! I think you have to be honest with them and by doing that you're actually helping them. Oh and I usually don't throw gifts away!!!

- these are exactly the compilations i'd put into a 2008 ranking. maybe there's a very early one, SciFiHiFi Vol. 4 by Funk D'Void to add. - another mix compilation i adore is Need 2 Soul Vol. 2 - compiled and mixed by Benji B and Glenn Underground. especially the first disc, the benji b mix, is fascinating. blending tracks with that certain paradise garage feeling (celestial choir - stand on the word - larry levan unreleased mix) together with some detroitish affairs (cesaria evora - angola - carl craig remix // deetron feat. ovasoul7 - i cling) and timeless classic house tunes (âme - hydrolic dog). can't describe how much i love this mix. and the second disc by glenn underground's fine too.

| #36 / Mon, 15 Dec 08 17:50 Dettmann really deserves to be #1. His mix is timeless and unlike other mixes you can listen to it to infinity. From old school detroit sound to the steel, sweat and sperm flair of berghain, it covers all bases.
alone the fact that 'warped mind' by shed appears on berghain 02 makes it my favorite compilation!

So where are those other genres like deep house in all of those polls, including this one of course I'm asking!?

Also liked Charles Webster and Andy Cato on Defected, for a change.
Others great album where (imo):
Digweed - Transitions 4
Sasha - Involver 2
Efdemin - Carry On, Pretend We're Not in the Room
Deetron - Fuse
Ame - Fabric

| #42 / Mon, 15 Dec 08 21:43 Got a lot of time for the Secret Sundaze mix from Giles&James.
Prob agree with 60% of the selections in the top 20.
Enjoy NRKs Coast2Coast this year also.
|
| |
|
| #43 / Mon, 15 Dec 08 22:38 Ame - Fabric 42
Francois K MasterPiece (exactly that)
Metro Area - Fabric 43 (after a complete tantrum after the first listen, it grew on me like a wild but special fungus)
Efdemin - Carry On, Pretend We're Not in the Room
Thats the extent of my years compilation buying for the year.
Think Podcasts really came into there own this year. Would have a greater interest in what was the top podcast '08.

There was deep house and other genres on the scene in 2008, i love deep house but its a poll, people vote for what they like, the most popular comes out top, thus minimal/ techno have come out in the top 20, its the most popular, its not hard mate. Glad to Beyer in there, has been on fire this year.
