Recommended Old School Mixes


JNP

Recommended Posts

I'm looking for recommendations of mixes that came out between '95 and '99. I have all of the 1ITJ mixes available online, the Bukem, Photek and Grooverider Essential Mixes, and the Promised Land CDs. Does anyone have any other suggestions? Downloads or CDS, I don't mind. I like everything from atmospheric to techstep.

 

Thanks in advance (and if there's already a topic on this, feel free to haze me, but please point me in the right direction!).

In all honesty you're probably better checking out mixes from DJs on the web rather than commercial releases. The ones you've mentioned are all pretty good but most compilations from that time featured the same tunes again and again. Not saying they were bad tunes but there's only so many times you can hear It's A Jazz Thing before it becomes a little boring.

 

For a seriously good selection of 95 - 99 atmospheric tunes you should look no further than RDB's own DJ Extreme and his Smooth Grooves mixes - http://www.hardscore.com/?cat=245 - all of them are great. I did one that you might like many years ago that starts out all dreaming and then gets a bit more heavy towards the end - http://mrhaste.com/2003/03/haste-2-hours-of-lush-db-and-blue-note-breaks/

you should definitely check out Haste's mixes - really good stuff!

 

I'd also recommend Chrissy Murderbot's jungle mixes from his My Year Of Mixtapes project:
