Not Quite A Mix

"This mix is suppossed to represent the later portions of Roger Sanchez's (legendary) eight hour mixes - presumably the deeper and darker portion of the mix. However, taken out of context it comes of as a huge electro-bore. Not really unlistenable - just not so much danceable. The constant metronomic electro beats, window rattling bass, minimal vocals, and static pacing leave very little left to enjoy in this dance mix. I expect as much from Tom Stephan (DJ of the other mix) who's mixes are sort of always deep, dark and flat. Seriously, no matter what trip I am on at any club - eight hours is quite enough and by this time I am sure my night would be done. Had this mix included at least a few bighter tracks - if only just at the start it would have been much more representational of Rogers sets (albeit, much shorter). I love so much of Roger Sanchez's mixes, in fact all four of his Release Yourself mixes ar some of my favorites, but this one is just not enough."
