Paul van Dyk & BT Essential Mixes (1997)

Thought I'd upload this one because I had a bit of trouble finding it on Google, which is quite strange for such a big artist. This era was probably the peak of PVD's productions for me, but I've never heard a DJ mix from him from the mid-90s until this one. This flavour of energetic progressive trance is probably my all-time favourite era for trance, and there are also a few great prog breaks moments here and there.

EDIT: Title changed to reflect the subsequent BT-hype.

Nice! Thanks

This is an absolutely stunning mix. I remember having 90 minutes of it on tape somewhere and have fond memories of listening to this when I used to cycle home from work at 2am in the morning.

It saddens me to see how the mighty have indeed fallen.

Looking forward to hearing this again. Thanks for uploading

The BBG and Yello tracks are particularly awesome!

In an unrelated contrast, listening to this calibre of music and riding on a bike at 2am in the morning are just two of the things that are now virtually redundant due to:

The abundance of shit music, Celebrity DJ egos and intoxicated hoodlums with a craving for theft.

epic tracklist, thanks!

Had this loaded up on torrents for months but never thought about getting it until a few weeks ago.
Will have to give it another listen now

Classic set, great find

I also find it interesting to compare this Essential Mix with BT's effort from the same year, and how the two reflect their respective artist albums from this period. This PVD Essential Mix is a lot like Seven Ways - a no-nonsense pumping trance session start to finish, where BT's is a real mix-up of genres, just like ESCM. Funny thing is, I prefer PVD's album but I think I prefer BT's EM:

The BT Essential Mix (21-09-1997):

1) XS - "Day Dream Believe" (DAT)
2) I:Cube - "11 Novembre" (Versatile)
3) I:Cube - "Comme Des Espirit" (Versatile)
4) System 7 - "Alpine Wave" (Butterfly)
5) B.T. - "Remember [Mood II Swing Mix]" (Perfecto)
6) B.T. - "Remember [Mood II Swing Dub]" (Perfecto)
7) J Auger - "Atom Funk" (KTF)
8) J Auger/G Berroyer - "Champagne" (KTF)
9) artist unknown - untitled (white label)
10) 2 Phat ****s - Ride [The Space Invaders Mix] (Yoshitoshi)
11) Slacker - "Scared [Of Tomorrow]" (XL)
12) B.T. - "Love Peace & Grease [Fila Puma Mix]" (Perfecto)
13) Single Cell Orchestra - "Blockhead" (Astralwerks)
14) Dub Pistols - "Westway" (Concrete)
15) Scream - "Invisible" (white label)
16) Fluke - "Squirt" (Circa)
17) Way Out West - "Sequoia" (deConstruction)
18) Amoeba Assassin - "Roller Coaster" (Perfecto)
19) B.T. - "Road To Lostwithiel" (Perfecto)
20) Pigforce - "Armed Response" (Fourth & Broadway)
21) Kirsty Hawkshaw - "Sci-Clone [Danny Breaks Mix]" (Coalition)

A lot of the same tracks too. But why does he play Flaming June and Forbidden Fruit twice? And what is the "Forbidden City remix" of Forbidden Fruit? Is that possibly a mislabel of his remix of Curve - Chinese Burn?

Thanks for sharing these mixes. That BT essential mix is definitely one of my top live sets of all time. BT is also one of my favorite artists of all time (although I've been largely ignoring his newer stuff -- is that a mistake?)

BTW does anyone have any idea where I can find the first track from his EM, the supposed XS - Day Dream Believe [DAT]. Sickest f**cking track and I could never find anything on it

[quick thought] also, the unknown ID track is equally sick; the vocals something about "carrying the dead?" Most likely a mash-up. God I wish these bits of glory would be released into the world

-BK

This Binary Universe was incredible. Just about everything else he's made in the last 10 years has been awful. That's pretty much all you need to know.

I've never found any info on that XS track either. I presume it's the same XS who was on Yoshitoshi, because BT had ties to that label. XS was a Jean-Phillippe Aviance alias, but all of Aviance's aliases just made deep/funky house. The tracklist says "DAT" for label, which basically means it was played off a tape. Perhaps it was an experimental Aviance track that never released, or perhaps it's just a total mislabel. Took me a long time to find the intro track to BT's 1995 EM, which is labelled as Ryuichi Sakamoto on most tracklists. Turns it was by Japanese artist Kintaro. Only found that out today.

I'll be scooping all these great sets up, thanks fellas.

Listening to PVD and BT from that era reminds me how their styles really complimented each other; too bad they didn't have more collaborations.

Liked the PVD's Blauer Himmel and Erinnern Indigo mixes of BT's Blue Skies.


EDIT: sorry to spam this thread but here those two tracks are for the newbies unfamiliar with old PVD stuff.

Thanks System J. Yeah, I kinda wrote BT off after emotional technology, and didnt really like anything I sampled afterward. I will check out Binary Universe. Also I'll dig a bit on the Day Dream Believe track... I swear to god it seems like the best stuff is always unreleased or unidentified.

Yep, back then quality control was big or big DJs were sent obscure acetates and super limited promos. I can't even put a number on how many Oakenfold, Sasha & Digweed ID's there are I want.

Often these tracks sound especially good because you can't have them. There've been so many tracks I've spent loads of time and money hunting down, and when I get them I don't actually play them very much.

Great share system.

Very true, the "grass is greener" effect does play a part... once you get that one track after years of searching, it's never quite as good as when you used to loop it over and over from that one old set.

Sigh, life =D

This always happens. Loop a song 20 times. Search the site where you found it for the tracklist. Search the DJs other sets to see if he may of played it more than once. Ask the provider what the song is, if the site is active. Loop it another 20 times. Google the shit out of the name of the DJ set. Give up. Start again when you play that set again or the song pops into your head. Get lucky whilst browsing a forum that hasn't been used since 05.

the numbers 199x are always eye candies.

Thank You!

Junior Camp - Listen To The Rhythm is bananas.

There's no such remix as far as I'm aware. It was the 'Forbidden Future' remix he played in that set. Enough of a different take on the more familiar BT/PvD version was probably justification enough for playing the two versions I guess, not that it would have stopped him had they not been.
