The other two are pretty silly, but that's pretty much par for the course on any music review anywhere. Most journo's don't try to make stuff they like sound boring.

I have this notion that DJ Clever's mix will be great, better probably than all the other dubstep mixes I have. This based on the fact that what Clever cherrypicks from drum & bass is pretty much exactly the same sort of stuff (once you slow it down a bit) that DJs should be cherrypicking from dubstep. That he includes "Qawwali" is a tentative empirical confirmation (yeah, I know, it's kind of an obvious inclusion at this point, and no way is "Punisher" nearly as good no matter what wack people say).

the pretension at dissensus can be choking but they do mention good tracks that don't get highlighted here.

By minimal though, are you meaning dubstep ?
ardkore>>jungle>>drum n bass>>nu skool breaks>>breakstep>>dubstep ??
Those were both by the same guy. I'd call him the Geir of breaks.
But I suppose it was worth it to read this from Blackdown:
a big name minimal artist has the parts to at least two different dubstep artists' tracks...
― struttin' with some barbecue (jimnaseum), Tuesday, 17 October 2006 09:21 (seventeen years ago) link
@Tim Finney--- yes, there is no way Punisher could be thought of as even a quarter as good as Qawalli, (tho the VIP mix had some tastily engineered percussion in a minimal house stylee). Allegedly Pinch has moved away from Qawalli's sound now, which is really pretty unfortunate.
― gekoppel (Gekoppel), Tuesday, 17 October 2006 18:32 (seventeen years ago) link
I think maybe that whole masculine robot sharpness thing which defines so much dubstep (and which define both "Punisher" and the VIP against "Qawwali") is perhaps a very minor turn-off for me, it's quite astonishing how much I love "Qawwali" above and beyond all dubstep going right back to, like, mid-2002.
The Shackleton track that begins the Cassy mix (and is the best thing on there apart from the DJ Abstract track, can you believe this is me saying that??) is in a vaguely similar style, perhaps I should check out more Shackleton...?

You can find it at the forum
Vaccine's track to start off the mix is quite good.
And Tim, I take it back, I'm not sure if you'll like Shackleton's other stuff really, its got a kind of sterility to it.
Clean, precise, experimental definitely.
Some of its really, really good though.

-- gekoppel (inabeautifulplaceinthecountr...), October 17th, 2006."
there's a new one by Pinch called 'One Blood' that sugests this isn't quite true.

I'd grabbed something from there a while back, but I don't think this was it! It's really, really good this btw. And despite my enthusiasm for a lot of tunes here & there I haven't found a lot of longer dubstep-ish mixes impressing me much at all on a home/headphone listen. This one is definitely the more Qawwali-like end of things, maybe even a bit more interesting to my ears so far.

On this mix MAH sounds like she's being handed little slips of paper written by the staff at Q magazine. I keep expecting her to interrupt a mix with "Wonderful - The Guardian *****".
