Over the years, Tresor have quietly released some outstanding mix CDs under the Globus Mix flag. Protecting the high quality control of Tresor, new chapters are not rushed: Dave Tarrida's album is the long-awaited follow-up to Herbert's classic Let's Make Mistakes mix released back in 2000. That album was to be Herbert's breakthrough into dance music's limelight, and on the evidence of this mix CD, Dave Tarrida could well be up for the same treatment. But forget Herbert. This mix comes from a different sound galaxy: Here the natural laws of bass rule life. Tarrida, over the course of 23 tracks, undertakes something of an archeology of bass in techno, tracing the influences of Reese, the Energy Flash, the Dominator bass, and a number of other classic, stomach-turning, low-end frequencies. The result is a mix that eschews pretension for sheer fun: Tarrida mixes fast, looking for nice intersections and unsuspected rubs, even if taking a risk means occasionally giving up technical perfection. Over 74 minutes, you'll find no weak track, yet plenty of highlights, such as Smash TV's I Love You, Anthony Lynn's Substances Illicites, a true rave classic in the form of The Mover's Frontal Sickness, and the absolute jewel in the collection that is Digital Princezz Out Of Focus, a lovely tune in old-school Detroit style, where first the voice really goes out of focus, followed by the accent of the singer. Clever. Don't let the dark titles intimidate you too much. Or better, realize that the best dance music always has a dark edge to it.
