This one seems to improve with each listen. Over a decade has passed and it still sounds remarkably fresh. Here we have a monumentally tasty mix that moves through highly diverse lands of range, style and tempo. Spacey downtempo electro, jazzy breaks, funk, dub, old-skool hip hop, strange futuristic techno, tribal beats and some seriously slammin acid house. What's more, it all works.
Really, the more I think about it, the more respect I have for the diversity of this mix. It's like a crazy mash-up of genres that nevertheless seems logically planned. Look for early Ninja Tune, Dust Brothers, Daft Punk and Jam/Spoon in the groovier sections, while obscure, classic acid rules in the middle of the mix.
Also, as is the case with these older mixes, Tong only chimes in a few times and there are no Radio1 promotional vocals mixed into the music.
These gents were true pinoeers. Find this mix and cherish it. |
