Zen Connection with Ltj Bukem

This is a mistake I think;)

It is a collection of well known chill-out and jazzy tracks,
but most of them sound like easy-listening!

03 - LTJ Bukem - Journey Inwards
and
02 - Gotan Project - Queremos Paz

are the only worth listening&reminding exceptions.

LTJ Bukem - Live @ Fantazia 'Showcase'

This is the oldest d'n'b set I've ever got!

Fantazia, Showcase (27-11-92)

Very draft I must say, but here we can hear MC Conrad screaming Make some noise! for the first time and some harsh drums and basses mixed with house like beat.

Already at that time some vocal was speeded up, so squeaks can be heard.

Trivia: 9:49 -> there is a sample from Pink Floyd - Dark Side of the moon track called Run!
but then it stops and house like beat starts again...

Eklectro - Jungle Breakbeat Mix Compresse

Rony Size Photek Technical Itch Total Science Ltj Bukem

They say it's industrial techno, I say it's kind of hard d'n'b.

Who likes LTJ may like this mix, though it's rather speedy one!

Trivia: Made with Sonic Foundry ACID 3 - says info tag....

Ministry Of Sound - The Chillout Session

It's a mixture again: acid jazz, latino vocal, whatsoever, good for hot weather like today!

Orkyx Drum'n'Bass Set

Morcheeba, LTJ Bukem, Peshay, Roni Size...

Another seamless set, so what Orkyx stands for?

How about this set? Download!
This site is no way related to me,
just gogleared...

Try ftp search worldwide...

Thievery Corporation - [ALBUM] Orkyx Downtempo Set

Thievery Corporation - [ALBUM] Orkyx Downtempo Set
(Bjork, Tosca, Fangoria, Autechre, Thievery Corporation...

Seemless set of classical electronic tracks, simply the best!

Trivia: it sounds like a continuum, one track goes into another,
just like in good text! I should write a text along it,
so every thread will intervene another seamlessly.

John Cage perhaps already commited such a thing...

Try to google sth

Paul Oakenfold Goa 2 TRANCE

Essential Mix 19.10.1997
BBC Radio 1

Two hour set, good for moody day or a party perhaps:)
It's not house, just chilling out,
a little bit of twisting melodies.
anything more about that?

This is one site about this set.
But not do ask me how it works!

Zamfir, Marley and ohyeah kind of vocal and LTJ Bukem classic d'n'b and Depeche Mode mixed together....

And suddenly, at 1:15:44 Babe, I'm gonna live you appears on the beat!

A long list other sets

well, no more comments on that....
