This thread was a better read than most news and/or blog postings I've read lately.
Not too keen on D&B, but I'm also sick of most everything right now, so may as well keep trying something new. :) |

| Well this isn't your typical D&B mix by any means. I'm not sure if you'll like it, because it's about the trancey and atmospheric vibes which you haven't really been about for a long time. But then you always surprised me with past sets of mine that you enjoyed, so who knows. It's definitely not a sound you'll hear out and about too much. |

It's digitally mixed, all from 320kbs or VBR MP3. I'm not sure any of these tracks were released in a physical format, except the Mav & Implex one.
Thanks for the praise. It means more coming from someone who hates me. |

| I can upload it in 320 if you want. |

| Direct to MP3, but that doesn't mean I'd be "rendering up" to get it to 320. I'll upload a 320 version tomorrow, if I'm not busy. Going to bed now. |

Well I gave it a listen today while getting a bit of database work done, and you were largely right. I would say I enjoyed the first half better than the tail end, but on the whole it was definitely a little heavy for my tastes. The beginning seemed very heavy on some of the more ethereal/atmospheric tunes, and the end a little bit more of the intense "D&B" in your face percussion typically associated with the genre.
Glad I gave it a shot, because it was something very different for me and I figured as I've liked a fair number of your other mixes that aren't usually my thing, this was as good a time as any. Just not really my thing I suppose. |

| system j could you please share a link to your jackpot set that you made some time ago? Please. |

| I've never made a Jackpot set. Unless you mean the old Epic House mixes, which had a lot of Jackpot in them. I did once post a Jackpot tribute mix by Eric J (of the producer section), if that's what you're referring to. |

"The Epic Mix" and "Spirit of 95" still get banged out here on occasion. Particularly the latter. |

because you had posted it my memory mistook you for the dj. Well, I would've tried finding it on my own, but the search engine never works for me. I just got excited about a new or rather new to me vinyl that I purchased on the Jackpot label. Quite a banging tune from tenth chapter called "product".
oh, BTW there is a really good website to download oldschool dnb/jungle mix tapes called goldenerajungle.com. Check it out! |

This will be what you're thinking of: http://www.marioandericj.com/dj-mix...-jackpot-series
Product was originally released on Guerilla around '93, but when Guerilla folded Jackpot bought up their back catalogue around 1997 and commissioned a lot of new (and mostly excellent) remixes. I'm guessing the vinyl you've got has the Paul Van Dyk and Carl Cox remix on it. |

| I managed to find a sampler with the Paul de Aragon rmx of Product for fifty cents... say that Eric J mix has a striking resemblence to this jackpot compilation by Danny Howells |
