milkybarkid Posted May 5, 2011 Report Share Posted May 5, 2011 Sankeys Soap for me all day. It was actually googling an id off the set that brought me too this place. Just an awesome mix, plenty of techy stuff, proper trance and a great sounding atmosphere. The fact it's still the first set i think of to put on when I'm in the mood for a good reminisce, even though I've had the set since pretty much the week after it came out says it all for me. Timeless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry for posting it twice by the way moderators if you could delete the other post that would be great , Damn i missed that one downloading it now looks a awesome tracklist! i really do miss this style of trance and banging music i think everything has gone alot tamer these days with the big influence of electro and house. It just needs a hit tune to come out and everyone will be back on it again haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Awesome stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quadrant Posted May 5, 2011 Report Share Posted May 5, 2011 What do you think is julesys best set? Quite simply, every single one of Jules's Radio 1 Friday night shows (both the studio seshes and belting live 2 hour sets), 1997-2001. If pushed for one, I would say Jules's 1999 set from Sundissential's 3rd birthday - an awesome Essential Mix. Also in the Archives on here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tremor Posted May 5, 2011 Report Share Posted May 5, 2011 Club Class @ Atomics in Maidstone from 2000 was always the tape I used to play over and over. So many other great sets that year though it's tough to call. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pleasurepaul Posted May 9, 2011 Report Share Posted May 9, 2011 Derby Uni mix as was a great night or a mix that i still love to hear is his Millenium mix from Gatecrasher Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Number2Fan Posted May 9, 2011 Report Share Posted May 9, 2011 Omg I don't think I could choose just one!!! I remember that Atomics one. I remember seeing him at The Zapp in Brighton and it was just the most amazing night I'd ever had in my life, remember what the tunes were even tho it was the first time I heard them att. Was so excited all the next day about recording his Saturday show in case he played them. Was so so awesome. Wish I had a recording of that set. The crowd in there were all as excited as me, so much dancing!! But from the archives I dunno if I could ever choose... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember those days What year was this Brighton one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Number2Fan Posted May 10, 2011 Report Share Posted May 10, 2011 1999 on the cusp 2000 I think it was the first time I heard Rank 1 - Airwave and Darude - Sandstorm and Angelic - It's my turn whilst out. I'd be excited about hearing the tunes again so I could remember the brilliant time out I'd had. Relive it in my head. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Number2Fan Posted May 10, 2011 Report Share Posted May 10, 2011 Yeah he done some bloody amazing sets at The Turnmills. I have some wonderful memories of that place, one night I saw him, Tall Paul, Armin and Tiesto and Jules totally pwned them all. Brilliant club, brilliant brilliant club!!!

Proof there that Jules really did rule the roost back in the day. I think every DJ has their peak and Jules's was certainly 1999-2001, straddling the millennium. I know that's 10 years ago, but it's true - everyone can see for themselves through the downloads in these Archives. Jules's diversity was evident even during the Trance explosion in 98-99 - he picked up some amazing house tracks even during this saturated period. Armin was knocking on Tiesto's door for a number of years, since the early 2000s really. His remixes were top notch and his sets quietly brilliant and eventually he got his reward.

Judge Mental Posted May 10, 2011 Report Share Posted May 10, 2011 I was at the Arches one that you're on about, when some mental bird knocked the speaker on Jules as he was playing Mr Phillips - 7th Day. Has to be one of the best ones I've been at anyway. And aye, the atmosphere in the Arches was downright mental that night, I'd forgotten just how good a night we used to have, back in't day.

Number2Fan Posted May 12, 2011 Report Share Posted May 12, 2011 There was real crowd and DJ interaction in those days too, not staged stuff just real Synergy!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Briggsy Posted May 12, 2011 Report Share Posted May 12, 2011 The best one for me was the Sundissential Essential Mix where he plays The Clergy - Saints & Sinners, Hi-Gate - Pitchin', etc - it was Jules at his best - really long mixes where every tune complimented the other. It flowed perfectly and was a prime example of how a DJ set should be constructed. It was the complete opposite of how Jules is now - its like listening to another DJ. My other favourite was a Creamfields set (2003?) where he played Syntone - Can't Believe it, Dark Monks - Insane, BK - Revolution and The Clergy - Oboe Song (Green Martian Remix). Again, Jules at his best. The mixing was really smooth and creative. None of the random shite he puts together now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The tracklist fits your recollections tune wise where as none of those tunes appear on the creamfields tracklists of 2002 or 2003. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tremor Posted May 12, 2011 Report Share Posted May 12, 2011 I've actually submitted this set to the audio archives recently as part of my digitising Aza's classic tapes. So hopefully it will be approved and made visible in the audio archive soon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
