The first was a tribute to Karim and can be downloaded <a href=\"http:\/\/sonicrampage.org\/blog\/2008\/12\/pearsall-presents-kariminology-new\/\">here<\/a>. I am doing these mixes because I am in the process of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.discogs.com\/seller\/hodderian\">selling off<\/a> (almost all) of my collection of hard house records and so I thought that it would be nice to do some mixes with the records before they disappear into other people&#8217;s hands.<\/p>\n<p>This mix is a tribute to Brighton&#8217;s <a href=\"http:\/\/www.404studio.com\/artistprofile_1.html\">Dom Sweeten<\/a>. For years Dom was the anonymous studio wizard who was known (if at all), as one-half of legendary hard house crew <a href=\"http:\/\/www.discogs.com\/artist\/OD404\">OD404<\/a>, alongside well-respected dj <a href=\"http:\/\/www.discogs.com\/artist\/Superfast+Oz\">Superfast Oz<\/a>. Slowly, from about 2001 onwards Dom started to emerge as a solo artist in his own right, primarily under the aliases Defective Audio and Base Graffiti. Today he is without doubt one of the biggest names in the scene. I&#8217;ve always been a big fan of his intricate, bass-heavy productions, and so with this mix I&#8217;ve tried to cover a variety of his work, from chunky hard house right through to fierce hoovertastic NRG. <\/p>\n<p>Since I stopped buying hard house vinyl several years ago, these are all from 2004 or before (except for the &#8216;Evil Genius&#8217; remix, which was done in 2005), so none of his more recent stuff is on here. I make no claims that this is a definitive &#8216;best of&#8217; mix, since it mixes up some of the big anthems along with some lesser-known tunes that I&#8217;ve always been fond of. In any case, I&#8217;ve always preferred mixes that work as a coherent whole, where the timing and programming have been carefully considered, to mixes that are nothing more than a string of big anthems. Dom himself has released his <a href=\"http:\/\/www.discogs.com\/Defective-Audio-The-Producer-Series04\/release\/1322545\">own mix<\/a> of his classic productions, but there is sufficient difference between his selection and mine for this to be a good companion piece.<\/p>\n<p>For more reading, check out his both of his interviews (<a href=\"http:\/\/www.harderfaster.net\/?sid=bc7fe5988b874170ee29dda93057e17a&#038;section=features&#038;action=showfeature&#038;featureid=&#038;featureid=10626&#038;forumid=\">1<\/a>,<a href=\"http:\/\/www.harderfaster.net\/?sid=bc7fe5988b874170ee29dda93057e17a&#038;section=features&#038;action=showfeature&#038;featureid=&#038;featureid=11767&#038;forumid\">2<\/a>) at Harderfaster.net.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A tribute to UK hard house\/nu-nrg legend Dom Sweeten (OD404, Base Graffiti, Defective Audio, etc)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[5],"tags":[17,51],"class_list":["post-126","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-mixes","tag-hard-house","tag-hard-house-tributes"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/sonicrampage.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/126","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/sonicrampage.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/sonicrampage.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sonicrampage.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sonicrampage.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=126"}],"version-history":[{"count":23,"href":"https:\/\/sonicrampage.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/126\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":6155,"href":"https:\/\/sonicrampage.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/126\/revisions\/6155"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/sonicrampage.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=126"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sonicrampage.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=126"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sonicrampage.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=126"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
