  4. Looking forward to this. Serious old-skool tuneage - Clarke's Aphrohead remix, Booster, Station To Station. What an amazing compo True Spirit was too - Karl O'Connor, Fumiya Tanaka, Mills's Late Night remix... Class, class, class. <3

  12. This is definitely an amazing mix. I'm so happy I found it. It's a real keeper as well as a nice guide to classic techno. And thanks for the tip Rokas, there are some sweet mixes there. A real nice idea I must say.

    And as to the debate of whether SS/JM is underrated; I'd have to say no, today he isn't for those of us in the know (not exactly the definition of mainstream), but I sure as hell was surprised that he's been active for this long. It took me a listen before I even bought into the date in the title. Should have started with the track list, but when the subject says Silent Servant I jump.
