Harkening back to the golden days of progressive house, this week's pick showcases one of my favorite mixes from American DJ Chris Fortier. This two hour set was aired on John Digweed's long-running weekly Kiss 100 radio show during April of 2002.
At the time this mix was compiled, Chris Fortier was promoting his recently released Bedrock 3 album, which I still consider to be one of the definitive CDs from this period. His Kiss mix is in the same vein as that album, and very indicative of what he was playing in clubs at the time.
I had the opportunity to see him perform at now-defunct Club Hyperia in Houston, TX, about two months after this set was broadcast back in 2002. The combination of his Bedrock album with this Kiss set shows both the minimalist side of Fortier and his more approachable peak-time floor-mover side. In each case, I believe you'll find the sound still feels fresh today.
