This was rather hard to track down. I lost my copy years ago. This is one of my favourite mix CD's of all time. To think, it came free with Mixmag!

It's been put together into one continuous mix, having previously been split up into individual tracks. (I used mp3 direct cut, so there is no loss of quality as it hasn't been re-encoded). If the transitions seem a bit 'jumpy', the original CD actually sounded about the same (it's his aggressive style of mixing on this particular set).

Eddie had been ill all week prior to mixing the CD. Re. the voice-over at the beginning, about having been up for 24 hours preparing it. He didn't want to let Mixmag down. Thankfully he didn't. This is a great set!

I first saw Eddie Halliwell play live at Sundissential North back in early 2002. I have never been more impressed by a hard dance DJ. The guy was pulling tunes together from all over the place and was scratching in real time (not using FX). Somehow he managed to blend Trance, Techno and Hard House together in a way I hadn't heard since the (late) great Tony De Vit himself. He's a fellow northerner and also seems to be a really nice bloke. Eddie, we salute you.
