Get to bed ben!
Oh and get the CD to us.... possibly best if its split into 1hr or so blocks though. If you have the original WAVs split it up, otherwise we can do it... but decompressing an mp3 then compressing it again hurts my ears 001_smile.gif

a 4hr 51min mp3 at 128kb/sec should only be around 279mb according to my calculations...

That's what I was going to say!

At 533mb you must be using a 256kbit bitrate Ben by my calculations - google calculator tells me that 256 kilobits = 32 kilobytes, so therefore 291 minutes (length of your mix) * 60 * 32 = 558720kbyes (which win/mac would read as 533mb)

I can't wait to hear this if Spadge is ok with putting it up in 128kbit quality!

And I agree with the other sentiments that it'd be nice to get another mix from 95-00 or even from 90-95.

Unfortunately I was in bed when you posted this originally, so I couldn't listen or get it recorded 002_sad.gif

This looks fucking awesome Ben - well done.

I reckon this IS 'proper' hard house. All of those tracks are what HH means to me anyway.

Boh.

Big ups.

Don't cry mate, give me a month. 001_smile.gif

James, do yourself a favour and get a hold of the Pete Wardman mix on Trade volume 4. One of the best mixes you're ever likely to hear.

James M has probably never heard of Pete Wardman Bongo.. or any of the Trade mixes. We are talking about 8 years ago not 8 months ago!

I have actually. I won't say that I know a great deal about what he's done - but I know the name.

nice track list - gee those songs bring back some memories!
the difference between an optimist and a pessimist, is that an optimist sees an opportunity in every calamity, but a pessimist sees a calamity in every opportunity…

when you are content to be simply yourself and don't compare or compete, everybody will respect you...
