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

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 Yooshi, 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 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.
