Hi all. Sincere apologies about the last upload. Due to copyright, TH-cam blocked a PFM remix and a Photek track, but only blocked it a few days after I uploaded! I wasn't even able to trim the tracks out so I've since removed it and re-uploaded with two different tracks in their place (hopefully this one won't get blocked).
As always I love reading your comments, it's wicked to know so many people share the same passion for this genre as I do. Cheers all, Tom.
Will you be able to list the names of the tracks that were removed, and what they were replaced by?
@@Afterburner215 Tracks removed:
St Etienne - The Sea (PFM remix)
The Sentinel - Toulepleu
Replaced with:
Future Engineers - Counter Balance
Parallax - Watercolours
✌️
@@MrFredericks. not only did you reupload, you actually REPLACED the tracks... You truly are the king of kings.
Just wondering, what's your fave pick out of this compilation?
@@izune ahh now that is a hard question!! I love them all, but Voyager - Hypersleep is one of my all time favourites; what a track that is! What about you? You got any favourites, in this playlist or otherwise?
@@MrFredericks. hahaha it's a very hard question! Probably should've phrased it "which is one of your faves"
the Voyager track is very good, it's a banger. Within this mix I would say the Hidden Agenda track is my fave.. that and Wax Doctor - Heat of course.
Overall, very hard question but I would say probably E-Z Rollers - Retro (GoD remix), or the nookie remix of The World is a Ghetto on Total Science 2. what about you? One of your top picks overall?
(An Intel E-Z rollers compilation would be a great upload!)
I wish I knew people in real life I could share this music with. I personally love it so much that I can't comprehend how so few are into this genre. It feels like I'm transported away and into a sea of bliss.
I feel you - I am surrounded by idiots - literal idiots that listen to shit music and propaganda all day - its almost laughable - and dont get me started on online dating! - You think you found the right one and that dumb bitch only listens to rock, metal and musicals ... like: wtf? no techno electro, dnb, trap, dubstep, psy, ambient, djungle, trance or anything remotely electronic?? 4 real?? omg... guess i will be single 4 ever..

@@dqmynator2.080 You know, the same taste in music is not vital for a healthy relationship. Relationships are there to exchange other perspectives and tastes and to experience those. Sharing my love for electronic music with a significant other feels amazing!
We are here to share with you 🙏🏾
@@fatboy2867 I disagree - sharing (music taste in relationships) only is a good thing if the shared thing is apreciated by the recieving part.
So if my loved one would like to share her music with me and the other way around and we wouldnt find anything that both like I would go as far and tell you that this relationship is not gonna last long. - To extend a partnership you gotta be on the same vibe somehow.
You know i can tolerate and enjoy a country song here and there or even an evening dedicated to that (or any) stile of music but give me country everyday and I am gone.
im 15 and even though im not some wise old guy reminiscing on his youth the old school feeling is just so nostalgic and this music just makes me feel like i belong
Bro I am so glad, I hope you have explored more music like this, if not, I would seriously recommend to you LTJ Bukem, I think he is the godfather of intelligent dnb
Drum and Bass is like one of the only genres that make me productive. Using this to write my master's thesis. Scary stuff
same here. various broken rhyme's work, I guess. changing from track to track. Modern DNB is whole like tch-dah-pause-tch-dah - no effect
good luck on your thesis defense!
@@angeladriancantusuarez4457 Thank you man!
ahaha trust me bro, somet about it that just makes me more productive than anything else
@@alexeyb8237 newer drum and bass has no atmosphere. It's all stale and dry with no fluidity or space..
It is not only a good genre, but also this selections of tracks is immaculate. An awesome job ❤🔥

I may not be a middle-aged, introspective, nostalgic man, but this music makes me ascend.
I was a DnB DJ from 92 to 06. I was scrolling through videos to watch and I immediately recognized all the album covers you have up. Nice selection of a wide variety tracks from back then. Cheers

i said it before and i'll say it again: this is what the future was suposed to sound like.
Yea and then NOW happens like idk what's it gonna be,its not even close to futuristic,even we came back with the retro bullsht "70s motorbike" style electric bike,these ppl my age sporting "mullet" ,hippies are comin back lmao that's why I keep living under a rock,tired of all these stuff by the 2017 when I was a kid I thought that'd be the year of flying cars and ppl wearing white futuristic suit all of sudden haha
By the way check out y2k futuristic/frutiger aero,really suit intelligent dnb
i will make it popular
@@GregKhar-NU-Metalhead2000 Yeah and this new "breakcore" stuff will be the new vaporwave of the 2020s with the y2k / aero aesthetic.
Instead our future was decided by the American Government.
I'm 21 and I love the old school sound. This music has such a rich history that is severely understated in modern drum and bass
@Stephen Dahlem I think the 90s-2000s Atmospheric / Intelligent Drum and Bass will ever be duplicated... but there are some good current producers... it's just not the same for me. I just love this 90s stuff.
33 and this is a comeback from 12 years ago, keep it real, jungle is not dead
Couldn't agree more
22 and it's great I love coming back to this stuff.
Your parents must be PROUD! I know I would be!
This is the sound of my youth. My dad brought home some Good Looking Records stuff around ‘96 when l was 11, and l instantly recognized this sound on a soul level and it layed out the foundation of my musical life. Back in the days I tried to get my friends to listen to it, but they never really appreciated it the way l did, so l had it mostly for my self, always wondering how come most people would prefer some shitty mainstream crap music over something like this.
Used to spend most of my weekends (and hard earned money) in a record store in Copenhagen called LOUD Music, always searching for the latest in atmospheric d&b music and other related genres. Still have most of these records today, including most of the Good Looking back catalogue and still coming back to it every now and then, since IMO nothing has ever since surpassed the creativity and feeling that is embedded within this golden era music. I can sincerely say that this particular music has been like a life long partner to me, and has been a positive force throughout my life to this day. Countless of my life memories are linked to this music. Well, just wanted to share my own story around this evergreen music, l’m sure others here can relate.
Thanks for the upload!
Well congrats on getting the records. I've always wonder where would you get these records in the first place?
I relate so much with what you say. It's absolutely true the load of memories I have attached to this genre. It's a beautiful nostalgic feeling.
@@Reboot_User_Khookie I don’t know where you would get them these days, but back then the good record stores would have them. Here in Denmark there were only a few such record stores where you could get your hands on stuff like this. Nowadays these underground record stores are but a memory here.
@@mortenholmhansen7305 As someone who exit my teen years not too long ago I can relate to hanging out in record stores after school and weekends etc. Thankfully we have a wide selection here in Stockholm, and a great one close to my home. Between maybe 14-18, I probably spend 80% of my hard earned money on records which I cherish today, now that I don't have as much free time to go record hunting anymore. I did recently treat myself a nice new hifi I could only dream of 5 years ago for all my countless LPs, something I can afford to do now with a full-time job.
good looking record was the label of ltj bukem who had the career of doing atmospheric drum and bass,but now the record label is almost dead,bukem he doesn't make good old day music anymore.Subscribe to my channel for more ambient atmospheric DnB mixes from LanMichaelMix
This genre of music helps my neurodivergent mind focus, im actually able to focus on thoughts and work on actions.

@@hypno5690 what's your problem with that term?
This is my childhood. I had a cool cousin 7 years older and he had an amazing sound system, and 56k modem internet, which barely anyone had back then. He downloaded thousands of hours of amazing DNB which we were happy to blast in our custom skinned Winamp. All those amazing LTJ Bukem and MC Conrad mixes. GTA 3 had that great Omni Trio radio channel. Remember the DNB tracks in Unreal Tournament? Facing Worlds, such good times, better times. The world was more free, less gloom and doom. People seemed to just love each other. That was before you had to hate men if you were a woman and hate wh:tes if you were black and the other way around and so on. The 4-5 of us spent most of the summers together, playing football, going to the beach, playing games on LAN, talking until early morning while listening to DNB, watching Dragon Ball, lmao. Great childhood. I probably grew up in the best time in human history. I'm thankful for that. We were poor, but that doesn't matter. The real poverty is what kids have nowadays: brand sneakers and iPhones, but no friendship, parents, love or community.
One of the most relatable comments I've read in a long time! Please hold on to those memories! I also feel like I grew up in the best era that this world will ever know. I had a carefree childhood full of imagination, curiosity and playing outside with friends without a mobile device tethered to my hip. Catching the bus to the mall on the weekends, buying Electronic Gaming Monthly and Gamepro magazines at Waldenbooks or B. Dalton. Spending hours at the arcade during a time where the better experiences of those games were coming home thanks to the 16-bit revolution! Running Doom and Duke Nukem on a 486 with Windows 3.11/Dos 6.22, having a U.S. Robotics Sporster 14.4Kbps modem to dial-up the Internet. I didn't partake in any LAN parties, but my older brother did. I had an Xband for the SNES that I purchased from Blockbuster that allowed me to play others in Mortal Kombat 3 and Killer Instinct over dial-up! Discovering a love for Jungle and DnB after already having major love for electronic music with bass tapes by artists such as Dynamix II, Magic Mike and Techmaster P.E.B. I felt like my childhood had the best Saturday morning cartoon lineup and the messages of most of these shows were positive. Then it was replaced by stupid animal shows because parents across the country felt we needed more educational content for our Saturday mornings. Bummer! Everything just felt right with the world back then. Truly a magical time that will never be duplicated again.
@@TeLeKiNeSiS360
Yeah, brother!
One of the topics I annoy people with is that I can no longer watch shows or movies because the vast majority of them became negative, ideological, dark, lacking hope.
If I want to watch something while work I pretty much need to resort to the nth Stargate or TNG rerun or something. It's crazy.
#❤thebeforetime
@@TeLeKiNeSiS360 yeh man, and spending hours and hours watching napster n donkey downloads to ever get finished. 🤣
Good times
Hi from South Africa. I got into drum and bass in the mid-90s as a teen (I'm 44 now). There was a weekly drum and bass show on a radio station called Bush Radio. I used to tape the shows and listen to it on my Walkman. Thanks for bringing back those memories. I recognise every single track here and it takes me back.
Howzit?
👍🏾🙏💖
Og!
Hi. Story of many of us here. Differences may be in country, radio station, DJ and in radioshow names.
Hi! MZ here
I'm 58 years old and have been playing drum and bass the moment I heard it.
I'm still djaying drum and bass I love.
This is a fine start to folks who are new to 90's chilled liquid dnb.
And a beautiful reminder to those of us who were there as and when it happened.
Roll the beats.
Congrats to you thanks for sharing! It really is a fine art. Keep the beats rolling brother
I listen to it while riding the subway, and I'm moved by the systemic beauty of it all
Just on repeat, so much knowledge and taste
If Mother Nature was a genre this would be it. Jungle/dnb is beautiful
disagree mother nature is not that beautiful for me...intelligent dnb is like y2k futuristic/frutiger aero in audio form for me
16:18 - G-Force - Proximity (1994)
What a vibe.
Some absolute classics here. That i had the pleasure of owning on vinyl once.. such shame they got lost on my journey through life.. thanks for the upload.. at least i can hear them once again here.
I feel very lucky that I lived thru the 90ies Electronic music scene...and in Berlin, Germany. Love Parade, Mayday Raves, Tresor etc. it was incredible...but thanks to a Radio show that usually played Techno/Trance I got infected by DnB...and I slowly progressed away from the 4th to the floor TR909 type Drum stuff towards UK DnB.
When Goldie released his Timeless LP and the first Platinum breakz came out I was literally converted with no turning back. At the time Berlin didn't have much DnB clubs...I only knew the Jungle mania which then became the Icon Club...later the WmF had it's incredible Hard:Edged DnB nights....I got to see Kemistry and Storm, Dillinja and Lemon D, Peshay, Dom&Roland, Source Direct and many others of the greats...
My first compilation thru (besides the Platinum breakz) was called "Atmospheric Drum&Bass Vol 1" by Millennium Records...and it was literally my musical Bible... intelligent drum&bass is my absolute favorite style...the producers put much emotion, synth work, tricky break editing, sub basses and sometimes even melodic elements into the sound...it literally beams me back to a time that now feels like a different life... beautiful summers in Spain Mallorca, dancing at outside DnB events at the WmF, women and just exploring the city with this style of music in my discman.
I'm forever thankful that I always preferred electronic music and synth sounds....I highly recommend the Atmospheric Drum & Bass compilations 1 thru 4...A Journey into Drum & Bass...and of course the works of Moving Shadow Rec, Reinforced Rec, Prototype Rec, Good Looking Rec...
It's amazing how a lot of these are literally the basis for modern breakcore, and themselves sound very modern
Yes it is breakcore but personally I still call it dnb
DNB is an underrated art
as i've heard said... UK's greatest export
Beautiful mix, thanks. Most of these tracks are almost impossible to track down any more.
Mystic Moods - Music Is The Basis Of All life Concept 3 (1996) - сразу привлекло внимание от фонового прослушивания до перехода на эту страницу за названием композиции. Сейчас пишу и мурашки по коже. С наступающим, кто читает эти строки, а те, кто не читает, всё равно с наступающим :D
I'm a Trance and House fan, but man sometimes this type of Drum n Bass is so fcking good for the ears. Respect to all electronic music!!
90's DNB can not be touched, it sets my soul on fire, that decade is sorely missed by so many that experienced it, I'm almost 45 years old and I feel 20 again whilst listening to this, knocking on now sadly.
Well I'm 25 and i think you look like quite the honey bun, and the fact you love this genere as much as I do is way past cool. The coolest Era definitely 😎💯
@@SonicRiders why thank you, yes it was, it was one decade that changed the music Industry for the better, DNB, trip hop, ambient, electronic, rap, electronic dance and rap, although that did originate in the 80's.
Ain't we all
Just be glad you were there a shared the life we lived and loved. 45, 50 90, it matters not. We all miss the best year of our lives when we had no responsibilities and lived for the weekend. Every time you hear a tune that takes you back and makes your hairs stand on edge and feel the goosebumps , don't be sad, be glad you were there to feel that nostalgia.
Wow, almost 45 yrs and yet still look younger than that! 👏 Share the secrets! 😁
1994-2000
When I was a Young Brat, Clubbing, Fkng, Travel the World..
Now I’m a old Brat. What’s left? My love to Electronic Music…My First Big Love…
feeling smarter with every drum kick...... whom listening in 2o21? i gotta know! for me, uh ya its an instant like, dawg ;) who up?
Listening to this takes me back to searching the record crates at this tiny underground electronic raver music store in the East Village in the mid- to late-90s, on 14th ave. between 2nd & 3rd st. And Save The Robots after-hours in the basement. And the DnB/breakbeat club in the all-metal basement cooler in the Meat Packing District. And my favorite JNCO jeans with the neon glow-in-the-dark yellow stripes down the sides....... Good times.
Any collection of Intelligent DnB simply isn't complete without Hypersleep. Great compilation
Absolutely right
Truth
in what point of time jungle become "intelligent d&b" ?
or its lack of knowledge
@@castbreeder1 in the past Jungle was seen as dangerous and ghetto, so they began to stop playing that sound at raves etc. new sounds like darkstep came in, which sounded similar minus the ragga elements. There was also atmospheric dnb , and jazzstep was born afterwards
That intelligent sound was born somewhere in between those two
@@PossiblyAzrael Dangerous by who? Same ones that called rock satanic music, techno which turns you in to gay?
I'm aware of trends, time, influences, mashing genres I've been listening to from earley 90's. But that doesnt make change, there are distinctive and measurable differences.
It's not question that many subgenres exists and when they emerged. It's about essential difference dnb/jungle. And atmospheric, intelligent, dark are "flavors" not esences. It's not about semantic it's about syntax. Just like two words can sound similar if there is difference in spelling they can be distinguished even without listening. And there fore, because there are distingushable differences in syntactic patterns, no mather how small, it's not the same thing.
And wtf is intelligent music? buzzword used across many genres for non 4/4 music with slower tempo.
Intelligence is property of beings, not property of anything created using it. And how then we should call classical music? It's by many magnitudes more complex and layered than any contemporary music.
Same BS prefix used by recycled genres by non creative people. It can be great music, but its nothing inteligent in new "seasonings" on top of it.
Was lucky enough to rave to these at Technicality and Jungle Syndicate at Rhythm Factory, Whitechapel before the world turned upside down in 2020 . 2008-2014 raving years for me with DJs selecting these deeper gems
For me 93 - 97 were the golden years of D&B/Jungle. After 97 it just got too fast & hard. The soul of it was ripped away. This era is unprecedented, unparalleled and with a never ending shelf life for those that recognise & appreciate its unique brilliance. 🙌🏻
Or maybe you just got old
@@matthewbuchholz5251 I wasn't old in 98 you numpty. Read the comment again.
Amen and I have taken it upon myself to be the librarian/ historian. I am almost at 3,000 vinyls and my home has no dining room now. My family likes it but even my own family doesn’t understand the love. I literally have the majority of these tracks on vinyl. Also I collect white labels from example lemon d. Skibadee. Baron. All the greats ore blowing up. Maybe someday our paths will cross. Most times I feel like idk pathetic a bit like I’m the only person on earth who even cares about this. The golden era. These idiot “DNB heads of today and even dj’s have no idea the intimacy to ride the groove and best match. Nope a program does it for them. Dara has a yt channel and often I’m the first and only view for a while. What disrespect to the masters. 1/3 of the trinity of planet of the drums. And Dave (ak1200) when I lost a home, pets and the mother to my child in a housefire was so kind to me. Even sent my son 100 bucks. That 100 bucks got him his first digital set and is the next to be an ambassador for our tribe. I feel like I just stumbled home. Felt alone for years now in this dept
@@djfreake if you ever get time record and upload the flacs to save them forever :)
@@djfreake Only just seen your reply mate. So sorry to hear of your loss man😢 Your collection will be worth so much as the price this past 4 or 5 years, as I'm sure you know has gone crazy. Not that you'd ever sell them, but it might be worth getting them insured. Easier said than done I know. I've got around 2,000 but only around 200 are from this era, but everyone of them is a gem. I worry about what will happen to them when I'm gone. The thought of them ending up on a tip somewhere sends chills down my spine.😫
I love the passion of dnb producers about sound design and synth work. Amen breaks and carefully designed ambiences coming from the 90's, how not to love this.
much older than the 90's... :)
There were a lot of production techniques and samplers, particularly the Akai S950 that gave this music its 'sound'. Limited 12 bit samplers and sound palates, analog consoles and impulse tractor sequencers on the Amiga.
@@michaeleagle2 No... dnb very much is an evolution of early 90s breakbeat! We certainly didn't have dnb in the 80s! Unless ofc you are specifically talking about the Amen break, in which case, fair enough ;)
@@michaeleagle2 no no, this sound formulated to its peak in the 90s my man
The golden era of Drum 'n Bass Techno. So much ambience, culture and influence. This is the world waking up to itself and all the wonderful possibilities.
This album reminds me of playing an older gran turismo game just cruising on an endurance track for a while- laps ahead of everybody else. Admiring every curve of the track, the scenery... weird how music does all that to our brains.
I am literally using this as a background while ripping around Laguna Seca on ACC. Top tracks, thanks uploader
Need for speed hot pursuit for ps1 used to have similar music, also ace combat 3 electrosphere for ps1 has some amazing japanese dnb from 2001, thats reason why I love this shit its music for the future
Those GT2 endurance tracks were great, big ups
Music can save you, if you let it
Still rocking this to GT7 ❤️
DNB will always remind me of the golden years in NYC. When it was still rough around the edges and real. Halcyon records in Brooklyn where I first heard Roni Size in 1999. The nostalgia hurts.
Can't believe a dancing cat meme brought led me to these kinds of tracks. Love this style.
90's was the best time for dnb.
Havent heard bout intelligent drumandbass music genre yet, so I clicked, just to realise its atmospheric drumandbass here.
i think my favorite thing in the world is finding new rave music.
This is so intelligent that it pushed me to create my first work of art. In its entirety.
its amazing really, congrats! I feel the same way and have been far more productive and creative myself since listening daily to D&B. I believe this is the frequency designed for our genome. Nothing else resonates the same. Aligns all the chakras pouring energy out of your heart and into your mind. Blessings to you and the art you will make.
Damn those magical mid 90’s... we did it guyz... we frickin did it. All powered by D&B. No regrets. 👊😎 much love x
Drugs and booze. The only D and B back then.
This music doesn't demand to be listened to,like most other music.Thats probably why we love it!
nice way to frame it.
These were the best times in the world of electronic music
Only got introduced to drums and bass through triphop. I kept hearing this beat in the works of portishead, mono (Formica blues. Everyone should have this album), massive attack, tortoise and more. When I found whole albums of this stuff, I was HOOKED. it never gets old
Please go watch this "amen break" documentary. It explains the origin of drum and bass and that 'breakbeat' you was sounding out in other tracks. Great ear. th-cam.com/video/5SaFTm2bcac/w-d-xo.html
I would've been obsessed with this kind of music had I been around in the 90's.
i cannot tell how many times ive been listening to this while working. Perfect music to focus! Thanks for compiling
This is absolutely great! Thank you very much 👍👍👍 i always feel music is build like pyramid brick by brick then under and above each one is someting beautifull ❤🌟
I gotta get this off my chest. I've been a huge fan of intelligent/atmospheric/ambient/all that DnB for a few years now.
Never had anyone around during childhood to show me this music, but it still reminds me of childhood like nothing else. Reminds me of looking deep into the blue sky while day dreaming as a child.
Anyway, I recently attended my first DnB show, it was LTJ Bukem and damn, it was anticlimactic. Bukem got me into this style of music, but the only stuff he played was new age. Not one bit of atmospheric. Never got that itch, itched. I thought if there was anyone that would be still playing it live at a shows, it would be Bukem.
I know Bukem wasn't on this mix, but I figured I'd spill, you guys understand.
this mix + active noise cancelling = pure bliss
Yeah man my Bose QC45 loves this and I'm on a fast train, still bliss
Nothing beats DnB on speakers but on a train noise cancelling is gold worth
I'm trying to listen to this, and my toddler is running around my "home office room" with literally an old timey style alarm clock with those bells and he is completely amused by how loud those bells are. We are way past noise cancelling. Send help.
When music was both hype and calming, depending on which vibe you were on
not sure why, but this soothes my brain in just the right way to help me sleep
it put your brain in a "flow state" becuase it's too fast to think about.
I imagine driving a 2002 audi TT Quattro at night through New York listening to this. Watching the city lights and sky line light up the road infront of me. No destination, just somewhere to eat. Something downtown. Slight drizzle. Perfection
Audi TT, I saw one in great condition, a couple of days ago. Definitely a 2000s model.
@@KonicaHexanon you saw a audi tt ? wow cool story bro. its hard to not see one everyday
@@Emso4207 What a shitty comment what's your problem?
@@Emso4207 okay dick lol 😆
I can't wait to listen to this at work in the morning with some fresh squeezed oj.
The soundtrack of my youth in the 90s and 2000s ( in my early 20s).....what a beautiful experience it was walking down the neighborhood of San Francisco.....like a magic carpet ride, free of worries.
the fact that this sound is completely new to me at nearly 30 years of age makes me so excited to keep discovering "new" music that inspires this amazing feeling throughout the rest of my life
All tracks are good but Blu mar Ten - she moves through is something special. Its like a journey trough vastness of space and time, a story to be told. Incredible. edit: oh and right next after it another superb track. im in heaven
Amazing collection and kudos for including Future Engineers - The Silence, such a beautiful track (I can still dream those drums). Thank you for sharing!
"Read more. Get outside. Listen to 90s jungle." 🤘🎶
I am so glad the TH-cam algorithm spat this playlist out. Utterly enjoyable from start to finish. Thanks for putting this together.
My father was a DJ so I grew up listening to all sorts of different edm genres, house and jungle are my favorites. I’m glad I was blessed with the ears to appreciate such wonderful layers of sound
i appreciate you making a mix of underrated songs - as opposed to the same 20 songs in like every mix
The catalyst of my love for electro music was drum and bass. Long live the golden era
as much as i like a lot of modern breakbeat/dnb (neuro, jungle, foghorn, not jump up) i absolutely adore the old school stuff
Literally brought a tear to my eye, and made me feel 18 and as old as a rock at the same time. The difference between intelligent D&B and the rest is in subtle, and you either get it or you'll never get it. For me it's the difference between a completely immersive sonic experience and elevator muzak. Superb curation buddy.
Totally agree, something very subtle but very significant with intelligent d'n'b, and you need to have experienced all to be able to distinguish the difference
What are you guys on about? I feel like the difference between regular DNB and this here is quite apparent even to the casual listener.
@@Laszlo5897 I think they mean dnb of the same era.. probably 90s jungle and liquid sounds similar but not to some
@@thebiggsy obviously intelligent dnb sound very different to other dnb styles, but what's the difference between liquid and intelligent? i did not listen to liquid that much, but both styles have a smooth , chill sound to it, with atmospheric ambient pads?
@@yepyepyep8859 I'd say it's more along the lines of trip hop dnb
Been getting into d&b lately, dont know how to explain but there's a lot of hit or miss, this is a fantastic selection, feels deeper not as jagged. Thank you for sharing this with the world
I just feel a strong nostalgia for my childhood. My space dreams from it. My first impression of Moon. Dark mystey clouds at evening. First love and young parents. And that music, it's kinda time machine for feelings. Sleepy joyful melancholy, longing for times that gone.
"lofi is the best genre ever" ever heard of really good underground made in the 90s? also the amen and the think break are my favorite - fellow drum and bass maker here
And just like that, I'm transported to a different planet, where we're all equal and content. Thank you for that.
Indeed
If only x
big shoutout to the N64 era for getting me into this kind of music.
love, light and power for all who are hearing this 🌍
I always thought I disliked D&B until I stumbled across this. Brilliant. Wish I was listening to it years ago.
Check out LTJ Bukem’s Logical Progression album! You’ll like that if you like this! 👊🏼
@@Egcmikey Thank you mate I'll have a listen!
Intelligent drum and bass is the most underappreciated genre of my generation. Thank you for keeping it alive and pure.👊
masterpiece
Ooooft! Takes me back to a wee record shop in Edinburgh around 1994. 14 at the time. I was taken to my first shop by this kid who lived opposite me. I’d saved a £5er pocket money. After an hour or so I found a record that blew my mind. It was the Rollers Convention - DJ SS - Original Dubplate Jungle. Moonlight Sonata remix.
There's something cathartic about staring at the images on screen while the ethereal tunes carry you to another world.
Thankyou so much for sharing this. I got into DnB in 1999, and I was actually buying a lot of LGR, GLR, Fokuz, Triple Vision, Moving Shadow etc at the time, but the music was really blowing up at the time and going in so many different directions that I really didnt delve back into the past (too much). The last several years Ive been absolutely falling in love with the music from this era. I can't understand how people felt like the music had "progressed" from this sound 🤷🏻♂️ This is pure heaven and I dont think anything I had heard before or since even comes close. The depth of earth connection in this earliest decade of Drum and Bass is astounding... the vibrational frequencies are incredible and the use of the Amen, Smasher and other such break beats is fucking genius ! Im currently stockpiling absolutely everything I can in digital format (because I just cant afford records anymore 😔) but I will be starting to play This at future bush doofs as I know this will resonate SO much with the people there. its really time to bring people back into mother earths warm and generous embrace ❤️🙏🏻🤯👌 again, thankyou so much. This is all pure heaven !
Man I was so lucky a few years back to have access to a beachfront bar & Bistro, Where I could go 24-7... and of course BLAST these kinda beats out, been D&B from the start.
Peace 🤘
I can’t believe that there’s people that loved DnB like me
All those year trying to share this passion for this amazing sounds!!!
I’ve had awesome commute to work with this track list Thanks so much!!
This collection is a goldmine. Helping my mind to the right place for studying - wicked good!
Thank you for this playlist, it kept me productive and focused when I draw. That means a lot as someone with ADHD and Autism!
after all those years 25+ its the ooonly music genre that i just cant get enough of it, never tired of hearing and dive into those amen spacy atmospheric breaks and beats.... its just so timeless
This is a pearl in the ocean, magnificent compilation. Thanks!!
Amazing selection of beats. So glad to bare witness and glad you took the time.
Still Infinite Thank You for This Brother💯 - Respect from Cali to you Worldwide Mr. Fredericks👑
Man, even listening now as a kid of the zoomer era, this kind of music have aged amazingly. Whenever I hear music like this I wish I could just go back in time to when they were playing it in British raves.
did they play this at raves I would of thought they didn't just a production for the the tracks? someone of age please correct me. love
Excellent compilation. Nowadays, most of this would likely be classified in the "Liquid" sub-genre of Drum 'n Bass. For those who think, "they don't make 'em like this anymore", I'd say to you the Liquid Drum 'n Bass community is still very much alive.
true but nearly all liquid dnb isn't the same as this. i think it's easy to distinguish between the 2 genres as they give off a different vibe, like if i was to listen to a dnb tune i could immediately tell whether it's a modern liquid dnb one or something from 20 years ago. i think it's because this is closer to jungle than normal dnb
liquid has either a piano as a main element or organic, earthy sounds, this on the other hand has more of a cosmic ambient vibe to it, i still love liquid though
liquid has modern sound, which is different
Nah. Liquid isn’t the same. Nah, naaaaaah! 😂
This thing with good heaphones cleans the mind, so the body
Mouly & Lucida - Inertia. Amazing track, real feelings there
this is such a wonderful gift. as a child born '95, this is my spiritual home. thank you for uploading
Same born 95
@@LG-ro5le my strongest bond to this type of music is that (born in germany) i felt vibes like this in the air all the time as a kid. i now live in berlin and studied zen for couple years and this feeling is still the same.
@@pikpik42 i got a goldie CD somewhen around 2006 and it introduced me to earlier DNB, i grew up on pendulum & prodigy but ive been into 90s stuff like LTJ bukem for years now
@@LG-ro5le me too. ltj bukem was when i discovered my roots few years ago. helped me a lot on my spiritual journey. the clarity, the comfort.
Замечательный жанр из замечательной эпохи. Одно из наилучших направлений, которые были созданы.
Ur goddam right
这家伙到底在说什么
Well........I never knew Bjorn Stokes had a tune out on Good Looking. We live and learn!!
I love old school DnB, nice to see so much love on this, an amazing genre that has sadly become obscure with time.
Whoa, I've never heard this DnB sound, thank for doing this
Newgrounds of late 2000s and early 2010s introduced me to drum n bass, now thanks to that early acknowledgment I'm discovering so much gold. Bless you for posting these selections
Last night, BBQ, dogs, doobies, lamb, wine, this mix, stars, big fire, outside til early hours star gazing. Ambient DnB and jungle was sent from the gods
Man, the Invisible Man -- The Bell Tune track is just unreal good on my speakers. I love this music. Great mix. Thank you.
This really does capture a certain time and headspace. These sounds were very important to me in the formative years. It felt like my secret music. When pop punk was the sound of my area I would retreat to this and IDM.
The IDM I stillmluh
Since i found your channel 2 years ago I have been definitely Reading and staying offline more. The rips help a ton because i simply put them on my phone. I lost all my hard drives with my jungle on it a few yrs ago when fleeing Houston. Much appreciated.
