Its a wicked mix! It does start out on the rather cheesy side but the rest is flawless!

I first discovered Tayo a couple years ago and was impressed by his mixing talent and solid tune selection. In this latest release, his mixing talent is in full form, but his tune selection misses occasionally. For example, the first CD's opening track, "Hacker" by Anthony Rother is an incredibly weak opening, cheap sounding electro with a weak bassline that just doesn't fit in with the rest of the CD. The other misstep I can remember is dropping the Roland Clarke "I Get Deep" acapella where he did, he did a great job with that on Annie Nightengale's show a while back where it fit in perfectly with some Plump DJs track, but here, the lyrics in the song cut in with "Electrofunky" right while Roland is saying something, not smooth Tayo... Other than the few quibbles I have mentioned though, it's a solid release with great mixing and deep, phat basslines. I'd say worth the purchase in spite of the few minor missteps he makes.
