Self Indulgent Ending ~ Adam Freeland   Album Notes and Credits Notes & Personnel Info DJ Adam Freeland initially cut his teeth within the burgeoning U.K. breakbeat scene; becoming an in-demand producer, he scored remixes for both mainstream and underground artists as diverse as Sarah Vaughan, the Orb, and Nirvana. MEXICO CITY, his latest mix CD, takes on a suitably eclectic track selection that reflects Freeland's diverse influences. Incorporating everything from '80s-style electro, glitch-ridden minimal techno, and banging breaks into the seamless set, MEXICO CITY is a rough and rugged ride through the grittier side of dance music. As most music scenes do, dance music has become horribly and irrevocably Balkanized over the past 15 years. House, breakbeat, jungle, and techno have all splintered into numerous subgenres, and those subgenres have split again and again, until the styles have become so numerous and the distinctions between them so minute that only the most obsessive can keep track of them. And the exponents of each subgenre dig themselves into musical grooves that get deeper and narrower with every passing weekend. That's what makes Adam Freeland such a breath of fresh air. Though he comes from the general tradition of breakbeat, he spins a wide variety of music and worries less about showing off his beat-matching virtuosity than he does about keeping his audiences engaged both in mind and at the level of the hips. His two-disc contribution to the Global Underground series is a perfect example of his kitchen-sink approach: you've got your '80s-style electro-pop (Mylo's "Paris 400 (As We Fall Remix)," KIM's "Wet 'n' Wild (Midnight Juggernaughts Mix)"), your blockheaded breaks (Justice's "Phantom"), your glitchy micro-funk ("Lump" by James Holden). And, Freeland being Freeland, you get some actual songs thrown in for good measure -- the best of them being Silverspun Pickups' brittle yet tuneful "Lazy Eye." You've got a few overlong and underdeveloped stretches of utilitarian club beats as well, but you get the feeling that that's just to make sure the album gets put in the right bin. Strongly recommended. ~ Rick Anderson   Compilation Appearances Moving Through Time Rise Ultra Music Festival 01 Verve Remixed 3 Notes For The Next Genera Bingo Sessions Vol 1 Annual 2005(asian Ed)0205 Mexico City(Limited Edition) Gu Mixed Gu Mixed 2 Gu Mixed 2(Limited Edition) Renaissance Presents Tranistions 3 5 Years Of Gu Music (mixed)   Associated Artists and Works Various Artists   Technical Info Release Date : 06/19/2007 Original Release Date : 2007 Catalog ID : 032 Label : Global Underground (USA) Number of Discs : 2 Runtime : 122m : 2s Studio/Live : Studio Mono/Stereo : Stereo SPAR Code : n/a UPC : 00828272203222    Related Videos Christmas In The Heart : ...
