Haha, I know what you mean, although I've personally lost interest in gaming over time. My equivalent experiences, would be arriving early morning home after playing out at a Free Party or night club as a teenager, with ears still ringing, whilst sun came up from my bedroom windows at rentals' house in countryside/London commuter town. Other times remind me of listening 5AM during college days, when there was little rent to pay & little responsibilities. I'd end up staying up all night making tunes, or scrolling the Urbex forums for inspiration. Lastly, I'd also attribute this style to record shopping on Berwick Street in Soho: Digging through deep Metalheadz & Full Cycle releases, like the first Peshay 'Pink' releases on Metalheadz, tracks like Die - Reincarnations on Full Cycle, & Danny C's 'Feel It' on Metalheadz suddenly came to mind while typing this, which I still remember buying from there at the age of 13 from Sister Ray. That is why to my ears: There is no greater genre. It is unlimited in versatility, & atmospheric capability.
All in all, one of the better mixes ive heard in a while. A consistent theme throughout, just flowy jungle focused purely on atmospheric vibes. Very well done man, youve struck a fantastic balance here.
thank you so much. really appreciate your kind words. i really did put some effort into this compilation + scenery and its really cool that people enjoy it. keep it up! :)
after listening to this multiple times, i did notice something with the background, it might be better in the future to prep the image online so it reverses to the beginning and loops again, just to prevent the water clipping like it does. fantastic mix even 2 weeks later
wow this video brings back memories, when the pandemic started I was the admin of a Garry's Mod server I remember that there weren't many of us but there was an active community, I used to connect at night around 3 am when there weren't many people we used to meet on a night map and that it had a swimming pool, I would put a media player to listen to a lot of Drum n bass and Icytwat songs. There were always interesting conversations and people recommended music to me. It was a very chill and relaxing space, although the pandemic does not bring back good memories for me those nights of conversation with strange people are priceless, basically all the liquid and intelligent dnb was the soundtrack of the server R.I.P Server
i love it when i remember some old memories which i forgot long ago, because of some nostalgic mix / game / gameplay / video idk makes you appreciate the things you have more
This music genre has done what no other has ever achieved. It made me feel relaxed and peaceful. Brought harmony and order to my usually chaotic ADHD-ridden mind, like every brain cell firing at the rhythm of the beat. _Silence, Brain!. Ambient Jungle/DnB mix is talking.._
Jungle just hits different. It speaks to you in its own words, yet they are your words. With jungle you can find answers that no contemporary music can give you.
"This Time" was one of the drum and bass tracks that really sparked my love for the genre. One of my favorites, along with Jonny L's "Common Origin" and "Hurt You So (S & M Mix)".
i have very vivid, small vauge flashes of memories when the internet was like this. im an 01 baby. ive found the sounds ive been chasing for legit a decade or longer at this point❤
i was born in '98 and i get that too, it feels like people around our age were born in time to experience the cusp of huge changes in tech, especially cgi graphics. of course, it's always been changing, but there's something very special about these sounds and graphics to me too 💙
where’s my lightah crew?! nailed this intelli / liquid compilation. classics! well done! Jonny L’s This time is one of my fav vocal dnb tracks of all time.
Sitting on an crt tv with my ps2 and playing tekken tag 1, metal gear solid 2, final fantasy x, gran turismo 3, devil may cry in the year 2002. no worries, no pressure from society or family. The best time of my life
Man wonderful!! I just discovered your mixes, hits directly my G-Spot! Thx from Germany! I just downloaded them and will listen to these gems next days....
SUGIZO - Like A Gold Le Fou (Remix by Artemis) recognized immediately. i think it was on artemis v shogun mix or some other, but that melody is in my head from a long time ago
Really great mix of tracks & I'm so happy for this 90's renaissance over the last few years. I completely understand why you included Source Direct's masterpiece: 'Secret Liaisons' because the video is aimed to new listeners of the genre, not just old. However, it does make me upset to see it always being the only Source Direct track people mention or add to these playlists, because in my mind: It stops people discovering Jim's other masterpieces which are so underrated, & some in my opinion: Even Better than 'Secret Liaisons!' That's a testimony to his incredible talent for sample hunting & combining, & why I still listen to his work more than Rupert's!
Hey man not sure how old you are, but ive been listening to this dnb style for 20+ years, this is one of the best mixes i've heard great work! Amazing intro song to use.
The transition at 25:20 is perfect. You start 3 minutes into Like A Gold Le Fou instead of starting from the beginning, so you don't hear that melody yet, then it sneaks in; absolutely fantastic. Or maybe it's a different version, but all the ones I could find were 6 minutes, so I'm guessing that was your choice.
4:03 and 7:40 are probably the best songs I've listened since I got into Backrooms, Poolroms, the 'wave' subgenres and all this nostalgic/liminal aesthetics. I love this mix so much.
Nice mix, brother. 👍 Maybe consider adding focus music to the title, for all the adhd brains out there. Tickles me just the right way to be able to concentrate on things, when in a blurry state of mind. :D
Cs1.6 water is just something calm about them man i remember just staring at a water while on a match, my mates were probably confused as to what im doing but im just there pondering on cs 1.6 water.. good times
The whole mix is a wonderfully painful nostalgic trip back to days long gone. The LTJ Bukem track at the end broke me though...went down a Bukem rabbit hole and now I can't move
I usually don't comment on TH-cam videos BUT , this very video that you've made is one of my dream videos that I always wanted to do and it feels surreal that someone actually made it , hopefully we get more , with more maps more DnB tracks , hats off to you.🎩
Great mix, thanks for uploading. Love seeing new mixes being uploaded recently. I’d say we’re overdue for a resurgence of intelligent DnB. This music is timeless.
What a beautiful selection of tracks. Intelligent d&b is something special. It creates the sound of diametrical behavior of us humans! Fast paced beats arranged with slow and smooth sounds which creates never ending peace in my mind.
this is an amazing mix. usually i find these longer dnb jungle mixes get kinda monotonous, but you put an excellent selection of tracks. listening to this as im renovating my room
Superb mix, I'm old enough to have enjoyed these classics first time around, been playing them ever since. MASSIVE thanks to you nook for sharing these gems with us, really hope you're working on a part 2.
This is one of the best Intelligent DnB mixes I’ve heard in a while. I listen to these nearly every day when I work. Really inspirational deep stuff man. Thank you! 🔥
“Staying up till 4AM playing cs even though you have class in 3 hours” type beat
good times :D

oddly specific , totally agree
who tf got class at 7am

For real this one hits

Wow, fy_pool. Always was a nice change after hours of fy_iceworld, "getting my aim up." Those were the days when I thought life would last forever.
where your only worry was getting up in time for school :^)
The last Sentence broke me
1.6 lan parties at the internet cafe early 00's.
Funny enough, I thought the opposite. I thought life would end soon, and I somehow took comfort in that.
Wish I had some of that childhood. I played Source and never got to see these exotic maps.
brings me back to early source times, good times
i actually made this map / scenery for counter strike source since i really love those old goldsrc / source vibes. keep it up mate :)
@@nookie.looks amazing
@@I_like_your_handle_Mister thank you
@@nookie.old-school X2😂 🔥🔥🔥
Nostalgia trip with fy_pool and dnb. The good ol days.
glad you liked it
Atmospheric jungle always had a liminal quality to it, it fits so well with CGI/game liminal spaces
You're liminal
fy_pool_day have something chilling and melancholic vibe. Like a mix of Frutiger Aero and Liminal spaces + "fy_" type maps nostalgia
yessir :) love those old source vibes
Yeah the genremix you mention really nails it
I'm actually building CS1.6 maps in JACK while listening to atmospheric jungle. What a surprise. Banger mix!
i too love listening to intelligent dnb when creating stuff like this. keep it up mate. thanks for listening
what is this 2003???
sure @@DaveSmithHayes
im a professional level designer and this is my favorite working music. its just like universal if youre placing blocks to listen to retro dnb
@@DaveSmithHayes I wish it was. I miss the times when media was about quality.
This is the most insane mix I've ever heard, I listen to it every day
All I have been listening to is jungle mixes for the past like 8 months straight, thank god I finally have another
All in all, one of the better mixes ive heard in a while. A consistent theme throughout, just flowy jungle focused purely on atmospheric vibes. Very well done man, youve struck a fantastic balance here.

Great for coding and studying programming. On repeat - I don’t even know how many times! 🙂
This is one of the best Ambient Jungle mixes I've heard, if not the best. It's so good.

just love these aesthetics
brooooo that Cruising Detroit '98 track is just 🤌🏻🤌🏻🤌🏻 incredible!! the way the vocal leads the drop into the rhythm is pure butter.
i listen to this while working and every single time subconciously up the volume 2-3 notches when this track gets on
Alright TH-cam! That’s what I’m talking about! Oh wow this is some great vibes! Thank you!
This music is getting me through a medical degree. Thank you so much
good luck with your degree :)
thanks@@nookie. feel free to upload more stuff, if you have some pocket tracks without lyrics would be greatly appreciated. have fun doing these mixes
where’s my lightah crew?! nailed this intelli / liquid compilation. classics! well done! Jonny L’s This time is one of my fav vocal dnb tracks of all time.
thanks mate! jonny l's tune is legendary! big ups mate
Huge fan of the Source/GoldSrc pool asthetic
Looking foward to another mix with a new background
will do one! thanks for listening :)

thanks man and same! i really like this liminal / source vibes with dnb :) glad u enjoyed it!
This is an excellent mix, really helped me focus on studies and drown out the outside noises
thanks man :) good luck with your work and keep it up :)

It makes me sad and kills the vibe when i come across a video i really like and then someone uses God in vain :/
Have a nice night tho.
@@TimSzabo bruh wtf its not that deep. (Edit: lmao)
I already listened to this mix like gazillion times my dude, truly a gem for getting into a state of flow while doing work!
glad you enjoy it
I want to be there... I want to be in that pool, watching the sky, feeling fresh and warm at the same time. I need a place like this irl
This was such a glimpse of luck to encounter this beautiful subgenre of dnb which stayed unknown for about 10 years !
J Laze - Zero is my favorite from this compilation
love this tune :D
Really great mix of tracks & I'm so happy for this 90's renaissance over the last few years.

accelio is def a standout of the new school
need a spotify playlist like this x.x
26:26 ooowee, what a sound right there. Great mix.
one of the best tracks, thanks man
Nice mix, brother. 👍

solid mix
been coming back to this for the past 2 days and I've yet to get bored
yayayayyayaya
thanks man, glad youre enjoying it
The whole mix is a wonderfully painful nostalgic trip back to days long gone. The LTJ Bukem track at the end broke me though...went down a Bukem rabbit hole and now I can't move
not many people produce like bukem, he is so good

Had to download some tracks on bandcamp thx to these tracks bro, so YOU keep up the good work
Beautiful mix and awesome closer with LTJ. You deserve the like on this one brotha!

gives me good vibes from back when i played cs:s minigames all of my childhood
Weirdly i all the sudden feel left out from 1.6 though ive got hella nostalgia from source going back to 05
vibes. today this was my time machine => back in time
golden times of dnb :)
Damn, this goes hard
