Great mix, I rate Steve Lawler as a DJ, went to many of the Viva Harlem nights at The End - always gauranteed to be a good night!

Very tasty Mr Lawler. Bit of a dip in the middle with too many bongos, but overall a great piece of work.

Andy Mansfield
I've not heard Steve play for years, and it would seem he is playing the exact same style of music as he was in 2001.Although technically very good, I really think he needs to catch up with the times.
podger, lawler halstead division
essential mix of the year so far. pure class form the man like...... viva.
Marc Floodgate, Limavady N.Ireland
This set is rockin glad to have the drums back Steve
scotttie too hottie nj
the groove essential. International style and flair...Classy
rok , ljubljana
All the tracks sound allmost the same, mixes boring (no ups and downs). After the mix one would expect something new (a diferent groove or vibe) but gets just more of the same minimal house beat with some tribal percusions) A lot of you got stuck in some same studio trip, guys. It's no fun any more even for a tech-freak to listen to it at home, leave alone the parties.
Relaxin' in Houston
You need to do a gig in Ibiza on August 14 or 15.
Javier C. Los Angeles CA

Sorry but not into this at all. Sounds like someones playing the bongos for 2 hours. Loved the 2005 lawler essential mix. And even his live one from sw4. Not saying its bad. just not my cup of tea.

Unreal mix, loved it!! New fresh bombs everywhere!! Steve does it again, cheers.
