Boxed

About

Label responsible for releasing the world-(in)famous Global Underground series of compilations to the world. Recent spin-offs include "Global Underground: NuBreed", showcasing up-and-coming DJ's, "Global Underground: Prototype", a series mixed by Seb Fontaine, "Lights Out" with Steve Lawler, and "Global Underground: 24:7", which is supposed to be a series of more deep and introspective mix albums. Later Global Underground releases were released on the Global Underground (3) label. In Boxed's UK releases, GU002 was the never released second installment in the Global Underground series (in Thrive's US re-numbered releases, Paul Oakenfold's New York mix was released as GU002). Global Underground jumped directly from GU001: Tony De Vit - Live In Tel Aviv to GU003: Nick Warren - Prague, which resulted in a lot of controversy and rumours on the nature of GU002. However, GU002 does exist in form of the tape pack of Tony De Vit's Tel Aviv CD as the actual catalogue number of the release is GU002T. When Boxed started the GU series in 1996, they did not have a clear vision about the numbering scheme (later to become part of their image), which resulted in the "missing" release.
