lol.. who is "they?"

ive listened to Dj Dan - Another late night and its pretty good. Danny Tenaglia and Nick Warren's 'back to mine' cds are nice too.

I've got Another Late Night from Fila Brazilia and Back To Mine from The Orb, both excellent CDs which have gotten a considerable amount of rotation in my cd player. Check out Kid Loco's DJ Kicks-album for another smoked out downtempo experience, I think I lost count of how many times I've played that one.

DJ Kicks is a mix cd series from !K7 (http://www.studio-k7.com/), a quite good label with countless excellent releases on their discog. People like Kruder & Dorfmeister, Thievery Corporation, Trüby Trio, Carl Craig, Nightmares On Wax and Smith & Mighty have already done a DJ Kicks album. I storngly recommend you track down as many as you can, they are all excellent provided that you have an open mind towards music. Tracklist for Kid Loco's album, which IMO is is among the best of the series:

Kid Loco - Don't You Know I'm Loco (Intro)
The Bill Wells Octet aka Future Pilot - Om Namah Shivaya
Jason Swinscoe pres. The Cinematic Orchestra - Continuum
Emperors New Clothes - Dark Light (Underdog Mix)
The Ted Howler Rhythm Combo - Mr. Flakey
DJ Vadim - Theme From Conquest Of The Irrational (Remix By The Prunes)
Jazzanova - Introspection
Common Ground - Dark Soul
Underworld - Blueski
Grantby - Grimble
Deep Season - Jesus Christ Almighty (Dunderhead + Pylon King Remix)
Boards Of Canada - Happy Cycling
Pelding - One
Tom Tyler - Attitude Adjuster
Tongue - Culture Consumers
Lisa Germano - Lovesick (Underdog Remix)
Stereotyp - Slo Jo
Kid Loco - Flyin' On 747

It's pretty varied, has a lot of instrumental hiphop (DJ Vadim) as well as quirky electronica (Boards Of Canada), smooth downtempo (Jazzanova) and dark, menacing atmospheres towards the end (Stereotyp, Lisa Germano). The Kid's own track at the very end is also very good, probably my fav track on the compilation overall.

yes i love ik7!!!! i have a comp cd of theirs that i've never gotten sick of yet and would say is in my top faves.very diverse range of music, i so agree... maybe why i love it so much. Om Namah Shivaya is wonderful !!! i love the tune, im definately going to look for this cd online right now ( I know i won't be able to find it in Missouri) Thanks for all your help !! as for the open mindedness, i always possess this trait or otherwise i would be missing out on so much

Dave Seaman's Back to Mine is legendary.
