Andy C - Global Gathering 2005
If you wish to condense a perfect live set with a beginning, middle and end into 50 minutes, it cannot be beaten by this one right here.
I could listen to this set over and over. In fact I have. On the train in Brooklyn, in libraries, in hospitals, walking through London oblivious to oncoming buses, pumping iron at the local vanity factory and even going to bed.
Starts off with the MASSIVE 'Slam' by Pendulum, which I personally think is way over-hyped. But there is enough Andy C brand within mixing to make it bouncy and enjoyable, even a little, very cheeky drop of Fresh's 'All that Jazz'. Then into 'electro Boogie' by Dillinga I believe, before eventually the fantastic 'Feelings' by Shy FX drops and deservedly gets a rewind. From here the tone gets a bit lighter and a brilliant mix between Potential Badboy's 'Girls" into Sub Focus magnificent 'Famenco' is totally euphoric, I double rewind it myself on my Ipod. Andy C plays summery '3am' by Marcus intalex and High Contrast, and even finds time for an inoffensive drum'n'bass mix of Layo & Bushwacka's anthem 'Love Story'. From then on it heavy cuts such a Baron's remix of 'Mysterons' and alot from RAM records until finally ending with Pendulum's remix of Prodigy's 'Voodoo People'
The mixing is seamless, frenetic, perfectly timed. The track selection builds and all the tunes work well together. You can feel the energy he produces in the crowd. I don't like crowds personally, especially sweaty ones, but I would have killed to be there. 40 odd minutes of Drum'n'bass brilliance.
