Global Underground 022: Dave Seaman, Melbourne is a 2002 DJ mix album in the Global Underground series, compiled and mixed by Dave Seaman. The album peaked at #8 on the Billboard Top Electronic Albums chart. [4]
GU returns Down Under as Dave Seaman mans the controls. As one of the original international superstars to build a reputation for himself in Australia, it was fitting that this mix was put together around one of his regular visits there.
As one of GU's most prolific DJs (this is his third outing for the City series), the deeper, darker sound explored on 022 was not to the tastes of some fans of his previous discs on the famously unforgiving GU Forum, but equally confirmed his status as one of the most talented, exciting jocks in the world to many others.
