NICK WARREN - SHANGHAI #028 (GLOBAL UNDERGROUND) |
| |
Shanghai #028 is a two CD mix of tastefully chosen emotive electronica that has been keenly mixed with forethought to allow for subtle buildup, climax, and dropdown. Nick Warren has chosen the gamut of tracks from ambient to smooth to breaks to 80's-tinged electro-pop and methodically placed them to have a cohesive mix that makes the ride to Shanghai a smooth one. The mix contains mostly instrumentals with a few vocal tracks - such as the ever popular "Come to Me" by Holden and Thompson. Usually preferring a good deal of vocal tracks, to my surprise, I greatly enjoyed this mix. Even without many vocals, the variations in style and sound design of the instrumental tracks allowed the productions to stand well on their own. Nick Warren continues to amaze me with how well he is able to obtain tracks from various genres and intertwine those tracks into an emotive, continually morphing mix. Nick Warren's ears are consistent in their ability to select tunes that grab attention. Shanghai #028 is an energizing yet calming mix that is a definite keeper. -- http://nickwarren.info-- review by Jules Mari
