Clubber's Guide to... Ibiza Summer 2000

Believe it or not, this mix is quite out of MOS's usual standards. It is extremely dancible and not all the songs are club stormers as I haven't heard them before. The first disc features some awesome house tunes while the second one is pure trance frenzy. Dumonde's Sandstorm is on the 2nd disc, and this disc was released well before that's song's popularity in North America right after the summer. Its Jules was predicting a future hit single. Other notables inlude, "Pumpin", "Song to the Siren", "Groovejet" and man..plenty more. But these songs are the first ones to come in mind...but its all been mixed in Jules frenzied pacing that refuses to let up. I don't think I recall one moment of rest. This is really a great mix..but i think its overshadowed by the Trance Nation sequels(the first one was good though) and all the annual mixes! They really need to make better mixes like this in the future

This compliation, mixed by Dj Judge Jules, is really amazing. The first time I heard it I was completely moved, and it does that to me each time I listen to it.. its got a great variety of trance, techno, and just phat beats the whole way through! Of course we know these artists are all amazing anyways, so having them put together all on one CD, makes it an even more pleasurable listening experience. I would recommend this to anyone who enjoys any type of trance. We are a [trance nation]! hehehe. =p

Well I got this CD for Christmas and I am extremely pleased with it. I think CD 1 which is more hard house than trance is the better - mainly for Florian F's Surreal Brazil which is a masterpiece - But still I like the harder feel of this disc. Number 2 is definitely lighter and trancier but gets a bit harder towards the end although it is spoiled at the start by using too many tracks with vocals(I think a definite no-no in trance), but even so there are some gems like Moogwai's Viola. So overall if you like stompier hard house tunes, buy it and listen to CD 1. CD 2 has too many cheesy vocals for me, so if you want good trance, wait for the soon-to-be-released Binary Finary album instead.

First off I want to say that I'm giving this cd a 4 and a half star rating, but they don't have the option so I might as well say it here. This cd simply rocks! Being an avvid clubber myself at Twilo (NYC) and at some British clubs when I'm traveling, I look for the uplifting trancey sound that The Judge puts out. I bought this when I travelled to Italy over the summer and I fell in love with it. The track selection has some of the best songs of the summer with great mixing (some mixes were a bit off, hence the 4 and a half rating, but they're minor). Being a DJ myself, I strongly suggests buying this compilation, it's well worth it!
