INFO The mix begins patiently with recent releases from Mark E and 2010 whiz kid Space Dimension Controller, before picking up the pace, moving into steadier garagey territory, with tracks from George Levings™ (Commix) GHL moniker and Parisian Frank Roger. Being the party™s 10th anniversary celebration, it was only right to include some of James™ favourites, played mostly in the formative years of the club, but still sounding as fresh and relevant in his sets today. There's the little-known gem ˜Taking Over Me™ by Marcus Intalex + S.T. Files, Recloose's off kilter broken beat ˜Ain't Changin™ and the Detroit inspired sub-heavy proto-UK bass 'Cargo' from Zed Bias' alterego Maddslinky. Once peaked, the mix heads into more distinctive electronic territory, with contributions from Jimmy Edgar as Xdistrict and the simply stunning ˜Tan Sedan™ from DJ Harvey's latest project. This is a massive licensing coup as, to this date, only Optimo™s Fabric mix has been granted the use of material from Locussolus. Metope and Steffi are responsible for taking things down into deeper, headier territory, before a sneaky ˜one-more™ with Voyage™s 1980 underground bomb 'I Love You Dancer' drawing things warmly to a heartfelt close. Giles' love of the sheer craft of a mix is clear to see: his podcasts for Resident Advisor, Audio Families and most recently Little White Earbuds are highly regarded as perfect illustrations of his uncompromising, slow-building style. Just like his contributions to the previous secretsundaze mixes he kicks off with exquisitely warm dubby house from Roosevelt and Charles, Chicago™s Specter and Detroit legend Dan Bell in his KB Project guise. Picking up the tempo slightly Giles weighs in with some bonafide secretsundaze classics in the shape of the Salt City Orchestra remix of ˜Mushrooms™ and Dubtribe's remix of East West Connection. The dreamy yet insistent ˜Hideaway Lane™ on the excellent Dial subsidiary Laid then makes way for some heavier techno workouts and arguably the mix™s peak with the slamming MRSK remix of Anthony Shakir closely followed by the massive burner, Rolando's remix of Skudge. Smoothing things out again, Giles™ own 'Ronin' deftly appears marking the return of his production duo Two Armadillos with long-term collaborator Martin Dawson. Triumphant Detroit flavours from Steven Tang and Tornado Wallace then permeate, signaling the end is in sight before making way for a return to some very deep and hypnotic closers from the Smallville camp, the aptly titled 'Life Aquatic' and 'Insulate', an otherworldly groove from US artists Slam Mode. 10 Years of secretsundaze™ is yet another perfect snapshot of the duo's ability to throw together undiscovered classics with the newest, freshest sounds without ever compromising to trends. With a supporting world tour heading through Berlin, Barcelona, New York, Tokyo and Ibiza to name just a few, the label primed with a whole slew of 12› releases to come and The Secret Agency going from strength to strength, 2011 is set to be yet another blow-out year for secretsundaze™s 10th birthday.
