Those GU days were really special. Before social media and "EDM" - there were these CDs covered with breathtaking photography of some foreign city and some random number on it. And the dude (or dudes) on the front looked so cool you were sure they were from the future. And the music inside sounded like it. From Sasha to Nick Warren and Deep Dish to Dave Seaman - that era of underground music has indeed passed. But tonight, 13 years later, I fired up this album that I first listened to as a senior in high school. Although no one else around me shared the same feeling, I knew this shit was timeless. And boy was I right.
I remember the very first time that I listened to this song. Was walking in downtown Chicago at 32F.(Cold night) This set was so inspirational for me that I made a promise to myself, work hard, make some money and travel to Iceland. It took me 12 years but finally reached 1 of my 5 goals set in my bucket list. Hanging aroung in Iceland while listening to this disc over and over was one hell of an experience. Thanks Nick for pushing us up with your music.
Have you noticed nick warren seems the only dj who plays tracks that represents the country hes in? Thats a rare & unique gift man! This mix is has an icy cool vibe to it! Hes truly incredible, saw him live 1time & still remains best set ive ever heard! ❤️😁
A few years back I was seeing this really hot raver girl and one time when I was being cozy at her apartment she told me to wait in the livingroom because she had a surprise for me and needed to go into her bedroom to get it. I said "sure, I'll wait here" and she went. Then a few minutes later she comes back into the livingroom, puts this CD on, presses play and then starts dancing slowly in front of me while peeling her clothes off one by one and mine afterwards. I'll let your imagination fill in the rest but every time I hear this mix it reminds me of that moment and makes me smile. :)
Well i believe you. I had a similar situation except my girls attire changed from sexy short pants to leather, corset, a whip and high heels (not a hooker thankyou very much) just a great night! Woooo
I love these sets so much, they're a staple for me at work. Many a bridge and building have been designed to these beats! Thank you Mr. Warren! Thank you sir!
This is one of my favourite GU releases, the perfect soundtrack to compliment the beautiful Icelandic landscape, thanks for uploading this classic mix.
Absolute masterpiece of a mix, the soundscape here is so vibrant. This album along with CD2 are must listens for any new DJ, the track selection and how its mixed together really make this album special.
Whenever I need to zone in or out to something, I always head for GU album. Truly inspiring stuff, even after all these years. Personally loving GU29 currently.
Listening to this for the first time as I'm writing this, and needless to say my mind is being slowly blown to bits and pieces. This is the sort of stuff I'm always looking for but almost never seem to actually find.
Cuando tenia como 20 años no paraba de escucharlo, perdi el disco pero afortunadamente crearon youtube. Este es de los cinco mejores GU que se han grabado, sin duda.
I did not expect this from Nick Warren - what I've listened to of him so far has been quite progressive house so this was a very pleasant suprise! I thought I'd listened to all the good down/midtempo of the 2000s - how wrong I was!
2003, April. A big bus, 50+ crazy guys. Source: Hungary, destination Mannheim, Maimartkhalle. Night, highway, cant sleep. Then i just discovered this awesome mix. Best GU, ever.
It's hard to believe this mix got lost in the shuffle; I rarely hear anyone recognize the genius of Nick Warren's programming anymore. *Sigh*, anyone know any other DJs that spin music similar to this GU mix? I've listened to these cds so much because I simply haven't found anyone who spins like this.
Check out Warrens Sound Garden podcasts, and The GU afterhours compilations 1 + 2, also some of Sander Kleinenbergs cafe Mambo Ibiza unofficial mixes he did in 2010
@tomas Lopez here you go buddy my friend dj acme was heavenly inspired by nick warren and that’s how he plays www.mixcloud.com/DeejayAcme/lazy-sunday-18/
Nick Warren is the king of soundscapes. He brings together a downtempo approach to trance music on CD1 that works extremely well. A bit overrated, because its not quite on the level of Northern Exposure, despite what some reviewers may have you think. Planet Funk's "Tightrope Artist Tale" is in my opinion the standout track of the first disc.
My favorite cd of Warren...although this is not the type of music he plays very often. The way he get us into that deep sexy smooth downstep is just brilliant.
when GU was the only label he did this . hopefully you hurry and regain its quality before, since this quality of music is strange .... we want more GU !!!!!!
@Thomas Lopez - the Sasha / Digweed Northern Exposure 1 disc "0 Degrees North" is what I'd compare this to the most. But Nick Warren's own Renaissance Masters Series 18 CD1 reminds me a bit of this as well.
