Hmm. It seemed to have a good amount of fat basslines to me, but then again we've got different pools of experience when it comes to breakbeat, maybe this is more what I'm used to. Both that and lack of hooks could have something to do with the long-ish tracks, too. If it was more mixed up, more emphasis would be placed on the basslines and hooks...then throw on the next track. I got my hands on that Meat Katie mix last night and will give it a spin soon.

Listening to a Rennie Pilgrem-curated mix right now, Rennie Pilgrem Presents TCR50, disc one mixed by DJ Tamsin. I've had this for many years and one thing I always noticed was a lack of fat basslines in most of the mix (both CDs, actually).

I'd love to see your signature/links too, but the huge and obnoxious ones have caused me to block all signatures.
