LIVE @ ELKE INVITES ARTHUR B2B CALIBRE RADIO 80000 10 JUNE 2023

Recorded and designed a big mix of some of my favourite lush, deep and atmospheric jungle / drum and bass trax from the late 90s, progressing from jazzy and dreamy to hard and fast 💿 Evolving from its rougher and more rave-focused predecessor ( - https://soundcloud.com/5atu8ion/xtatic-hardcore-mix ) the atmospheric sound is a truly magical and forward-thinking genre that still sounds like the future, even 25-30 years later .

I was also pretty inspired by original record designs from the genre so I designed a cover for it based on them and a bunch of 3D renders made with 90s 3D software to visualise the mix. You can watch the mix with visuals here https://youtu.be/z70z6BS4CfE?si=2g8_SYGLc533ezyG and the design process behind everything here https://youtu.be/Yt7d-erT4CE?si=pbrKN7ctHdb5TAuH

Photek Vs Source Direct Pt. II (94-95)1hr Vinyl Mix

I recently found a whole bunch of mixes I did between 1992 and 1997 and started the long process of ripping the cassettes to mp3.
As I work through them in no particular order I’ll put them up here for download.
Remember the sound quality isn’t great as they were all recorded through a mixer with no EQ and committed to cassette on a shabby home stereo…But what the hell, it’s that authentic 90s sound through and through.
