Anybody record this? It has more tracks than a modern day trance compilation! Would be super-keen to get a copy as there are a few tasty looking tracks amongst the 41 listed.

As much as I like John O'Callaghan as both a DJ and producer (in fact, he's one of my favourites), I don't really understand why everyone is hyping him up to be a future world number 1 (Particularly the fickle bunch on the Matt Hardwick board who seem to all jump on a bandwagon of liking or disliking particular DJ's)?

He plays great tunes, and has a very energetic style - but technically, he's got a long way to go before he's good enough to world number 1. His mixing can be a bit 'rough around the edges' - and he does have a 2004+ PvD-esque habit of banging tunes in a bit too often.

At the moment, i'd say he's a top 50 DJ - possibly top 30 at a push - but nothing more. He still needs a few more years to develop. Perhaps when PvD and Armin retire, he'll have a bit more of a chance - but then he's have another obstacle in his way - Eddie Halliwell.

Eddie Halliwell is far better than JoC, and he's been around a lot longer too - and even he can't get in the top 10, so I don't think JoC is likely to make it for a good few years yet. At the moment, there are techincally better Trance DJ's such as Menno de Jong, Jon O'Bir, etc.

However, funny things happen in the top 100 DJ's poll because many people vote for their favourite producers (even though its supposed to be a DJ poll), so he could just crop up as a surprise. After all, BT was in the top 100 DJ's poll even before he started DJ'ing!

It is a great mix, Only thing i would say is maybe to many tunes in there and he does have the habit of banging the crossfader over abit to much when mixing at times, rather than smooth lengthy mixing.

He is a good Dj, but ability wise not up there as the best. On the other hand as a Producer/Remixer you are hard pushed to find anyone who is as prolific.

Alot of class tunes in this to be honest, a few tunes in here i had a quick listen when released that didnt really do it for me until i heard them in this mix. I do really think Thrillseekers new tune is the best they have done for a while.
