Brainfreeze, Product Placement, or Hard Sell. I was watching the Hard Sell the other night and thinking to myself why don't more dj's put together routines like this. I was really into Brainfreeze and Product Placement but i fell Shadow and Cut Chemist put alot more work into the Hard Sell. P.S. i know it kinda late for this thread but it was on my mind.

Although I gotta say, If it wasn't for brainfreeze, My 45 collection would be garbage. Never really got into 45 collecting till then.
I liked the other two though.
Okay I haven't heard Hard Sell but I will just assume it is not better than Product Placement?
i wasnt into product placement, but i might need to go back an revisit it, i have only heard the hard sell and it was a little boring, maybe i need to watch the dvd.
and i remember from being a lurker how much brainfreeze used to get bashed, but i still think it was a great mix and definitely a game changer
I went and saw the Hard Sell live,. It was a great show, but the music was as others have said - a bit boring. As a result, I did not purchase.
I agree with C7 - parts of Brainfreeze sound really dated. Part 1 of Product Placement is probably the best of the bunch. Really like that intro - "Shadow, shadow - I'm a sampling maaaan".
Product Placement remains unfuckwithable in every way shape and form. Show me anyone who has come anywhere near that since.
The Hard Sell did not turn out well, but I would hate for that to be the end of what was otherwise a really dope idea.
For me personally, it still sounds good except for the more "turntablist" parts. They didn't sound that good to me when BF came out either but now I just feel their unnecessary.
For me though, neither Endtroducing nor, say, the Lesson track on the J5 EP sound "dated". They sound like they were made when they were, but still good to me.
Why isn't any one talking about this mix:

Dante's UP ON A DOWNER mix is what i think of when i hear the words private press.
