Label : Dj Sets.com / Cat No. : DJ020-02
Format : 2CD Mixed / Released : December 2003
Style : Techno

Vol. 07, the latest in the Essential Underground series comes from both sides of the Atlantic. New York's Christian Smith and London's Ben Sims remix a mixture of Sims' own tracks and some of techno's other key producers to bring you this massive double CD. Not to be listened to sitting down, Vol. 07 is a confidently hard techno album that shows off Sim's and Smith's skills in the studio and on decks. Abuse your sound system to the maximum while you're taken on a tour of scratch, fx and synth infused techno with tribal beats, trippy hi-hats and hard edged bass lines courtesy of the likes of Jeff Mills (see the light part 1), Dave Clark and DJ Rush (A Way of Life), Oscar Mulero (Anaconda) ane DJ Shufflemaster (Sunday Morning Madness). Put this on your car stereo and you'll be pulled for speeding long before you get through all 35 tracks of the stuff! (stuart holt)
