All Things Chill

I found this mixset archived on an old backup DVD and decided to give it another post, since it’s one of my favorite mixsets. Here’s what I wrote about it two years ago (wow, 12.14.2004!):

Another mix out for you guys. I haven’t made such an emotion fueled mix since this one right here. This might not have the best tech skills, but the tracks are great. I made this a 8+ months ago. Its a mix of Downtempo (The Breakups) and Deep Haus (The Makeups). So kick back, pour yourself a drink, and listen to my story.

So yeah, it starts off with a sexy vocal sample from M Flo’s Miss you (fyi, onegai means please in Japanese) and continues with a blend of downtempo, ambient (Alice loves the scream @ the 17:40 mark) and hip-hop (with one of my favorite Blackalicious tracks). Then, as if a heavy storm magically decides to subside, Bjork starts the pick-me-up beat at the halfway point and even has a cool down track @ the end.

You can download it here (Right-click and choose Save As…) via the Dogglounge, or sample the entire mixset using the audio player below:

Also, my DJ Mixsets page – under the usual pseudonym Dj Special*Dark – has (finally) been updated. If I find any more in the infinite depths of my archives, I’ll make sure to post them up on the main page. Feel free to ask for track id’s, if I have the time (lol and if I can pinpoint the information) I’ll make sure to share the wealth!

Enjoy it. It’s been a favorite of mine for a while.
