Global Underground 012: Dave Seaman, Buenos Aires is a DJ mix album in the Global Underground series, compiled and mixed by Dave Seaman. The mix is a retrospective look at a set at the Pacha club in Buenos Aires, Argentina.
Dave Seaman arrives for the first of what turns out to be string of GU City releases spanning subsequent years. When asked which city he'd like to base it around, without hesitation he plumps for the burgeoning clubbing destination of Argentina’s capital, a place where the crowds are famously wild, vocal and like to stay packing out the floor until the final record has finished.
This mix takes in classics of the day like Underworld’s ‘Jumbo’ and Polaroid’s ‘So Damn Beautiful’ combined with some serious underground cuts for a fully rounded example of why Dave had risen to become one of the most in-demand spinners on the planet.
The Channel 4 film crew making the infamous documentary about GU came along to shoot at the party. The vibe was so electric that Dave got a little carried away, busting out the breakdancing moves of his early youth on the packed Terrace for the cameras. The following day it transpired he had put his back out in the process.
