I was at Studio Cube again (!) last night, for the TRANCE Halloween event, featuring former Velfarre resident John Robinson. Of more interest to me was the 4th ‘Hard’ floor, as Zio, Minagi and Aemi were all playing. There might be some video/photos on the way, so stay tuned. The roundup of last week’s NRGetic Romancer will be here tomorrow, too.
Lately I’ve been listening to Nookie again, so here are a couple of my favourite remixes by the great man. The first is a rework of Omni Trio’s Soul Promenade – try to overlook the dodgy sounding piano, this is a perfect example of what jungle was all about back then. That breakdown and the drums at 3.00… Next is a remix of Goldie’s Inner City Life – a seminal tune if ever there was one – Nookie uses some of my favourite breakbeats and a chopped up amen on this version.
Anyway, Top Ten:
- Re-form – Walking in the Air (bootleg remix)
- Alek Szahala – Voices of Babylon
- Epyx & Cyrez – The Most Masochist
- Epyx & Cyrez – Unhola (Guld remix)
- Laskeuma – Fracture of Connection (Sam one remix)
- E-Noid – Order Chaos
- Nomic – Aurinkoon
- Andre Frauenstein & Tymon – Ethereal
- Paocala – Stative II
- Nomic – Desolated Dreams
For once I have heard almost half of the tracks on your list! So I guess there’s still some research to do, even though the Nomic tracks for instance probably are promos you can’t hear just by searching around the net.
By the way, yet another batch of awesome Hybridize tracks plus one FINRG track were put up on FINRG yesterday!! This is getting really crazy.
You can download Aurinkoon here, eirik: http://klubitus.org/forum_aihe.php?id=69927;sivu=9999
Having said that, I still haven’t heard the vast majority of those tracks, like The Most Masochist and Order Chaos, for example. :/
And I like when you post these Liquid Drum & Bass tracks, PlasmaDancer; the other day I layed on my bed listening to Seba & Lotek’s Sonic Winds and when I looked to my clock, it had already passed six hours! Probably fell asleep without noticing, ahah.
They’re a nice change from Freeform, no doubt.
Thanks for telling about the new tunes, eirik, gonna DL them right away. :3
Thanks BerN for the Aurinkoon link – it was going to be in my NRGetic Romancer set, but Nomic is still finishing off the final version. Desolated Dreams was in an old Decion mix, wonder if it’s ok to re-upload…
Thanks to eirik for letting us know about the FINRG tunes, too.
I just checked around, and The Most Masochist is available on Trackitdown:

It’s one of those tunes that sounds much better in a set than by itself, I think.
Oh, I got Order Chaos from here:

Glad you hear like the dnb! 93-97 there were some amazing tunes, the best ones were so ahead of their time (imagine hearing So Long/Sonic Winds for the first time in 95-96)….
Once we get a slow couple of days for freeform news I’ll post up a few more of my favourites, the bpm isn’t that different but it’s a nice change of mood 🙂
Oh, I have The Most Masochist, afterall… it’s in a mix Galrav made – “Fury vol3”. I’ve checked all the other tracks and it seems the only one I never heard before was, infact, desolated dreams.
Having said that, Order Chaos is really, really good; thanks for sharing the links.
About the DnB, I know very little of it. All the tracks I know were first heard because of your posts. Heck, I had never heard of Intelligent DnB before finding TYFTH. D;
