Doc Martin house set in The Lab LA
There is nothing funnier than West Coast veterans explaining how much better the scene was in '94 to a 20-year-old who just wants to find their mates. They are standing by the speakers, arms crossed, nodding sagely while wearing a faded label t-shirt that proves their authenticity. The Lab LA is absolutely dripping with sweat, a proper old-school house party vibe where the groove is king and the pretense is left at the door. For the real heads checking the Doc Martin The Lab LA tracklist, this Doc Martin live set is an absolute clinic in track selection.
Sitting in a perfect 124.7 BPM pocket, the veteran glides effortlessly through 12A and 7A keys. The mixing is a masterclass in Rominimal and classic house pacing, letting the tracks breathe and the basslines do the heavy lifting. The crate digging is simply unmatched, pulling out forgotten gems and timeless anthems. Hearing Ian Pooley's 'The Dark White (MPC Mix)' is a massive treat for the chin-strokers, while Robin S.'s 'Luv 4 Luv' guarantees absolute pandemonium on the floor.
The journey is flawless, easing in with the opening track 'Unknown - Unknown' to set a jackin' groove. It peaks with chunky, relentless house beats and ends on a massive, hands-in-the-air high with the closing track, Thelma Houston's disco classic 'Don't Leave Me This Way'. Legend.
