Editorial Reviews

Fresh from supporting John Digweed in the US on yet another tour with Bedrock’s head honcho, Luke Fair drops his first ever-devoted mix album and the third in the Original Series. Luke distinguishes himself from the 2 mixes that go before in all but the quality of those mixes and the way in which they define the unique qualities of the DJ that put the album together. OS.03 employs all Luke Fair’s production talent in re-editing tracks and mixes to evoke his familiar jackin’, raw and ‘live’ sound that has rocked the dance floors from Buenos Aires to Bedrock London, Singapore to Space in Miami and now looks ready to go even further beyond!

At the forefront of Canada's growing dance scene and increasingly making his presence felt on the world scene, is Luke Fair. He’s performed at some of the most prestigious venues and events in the world, offering club goers a taste of his funky - techy eclectic house sound each and every weekend. His sets include everything from groovy house and techno to funky progressive and electro. Constantly re-editing tracks to customize his sets; Luke's ongoing desire to make every set stand out from the others is crystal clear.

His production skill can be keenly felt in the twists and tweaks he applies to tracks for the benefit of his DJing, all giving a raw and rocking edge that situates Luke at the top of the tree in this nu wave of electronic music lovers pushing back the boundaries in with both their DJ and production talent. A worthy addition to the Original Series!

5.0 out of 5 stars funk, dance, progressive come to mind, August 23, 2005

What a flow Luke creates with this mix. Sounds like digweed might of had something to do with it. Songs 3 thru 7 had me moving the whole time. This mix seriously shines among one of the best dance albums I have heard. Mixing anthems with funky beats and even breaking the bass out in one of the songs. Best songs on the cd are by far "Bulldog Beats", "When in Rome" and of course the best song "Xristophan" (a masiello and fair mix). YOu will bob your shoulders the whole way through, similar to digweed. If you like digweed or have heard any of the original series and enjoy this type of music, purchase this album now before it disappears.

5.0 out of 5 stars O.s series shines once again, June 21, 2005

Luke Fair throws down some funky beats in the lastes release from the Bedrock label. As soon as the first track hits you know this is going to be a pumed up funky mix. Luke then gets a little techy but still with pleanty funk and then progress into a more progressive ending. I must say this cd has the same vide as O.s.1 with Desyn, but with a little more raw or edge to the music. This truly is a GREAT MIX and should not be misssed by any prog. house fan. And Lukes mixing skills are top notch as well.

I'm somewhat confused as to how this current "retro-techno-electro-disco" band wagon morass can be considererd "forward-thinking" EDM??? The last time I checked, retro meant the opposite of forward.

I "cut my teeth" on those types of "old skool" genres several years ago and while they were fun, inspiring and sounded daringly original at the time, they now come off as hollow, dated, and ultimately insipid. Sadly, it seems as if everyone is out of ideas these days whether it be in the mediums of music, film, literature and the like.

With this, his contribution to the OS compilations (from Bedrock, no less), Fair attempts far too many mood, key and tempo changes and the mix skids off the decks as a result.

I'm awaiting the return of house music which offers the listener a bit more "mind-candy" and which features depth, atmosphere and more highly stylized production values. It was a sad day, indeed, when the DJs traded their bongos for Casios...
