In 1997 I turned 25, I was broke, sofa surfing, , had no job, I didn't even have a bank account. I lived in an unfurnished flat on the edge of Liverpool trying to stay out of trouble. I had a fridge a mattress and a Hitachi Superwoofer Cassette Player and 11 D&B tapes (among others) These tracks kept my head together, kept me calm, optimistic and patient and confident that better days would come. These tunes took me to a great place without the drugs. Today, I live in Surrey, my kids are in Uni, I have my own small business, I am a published writer, a commissioned artist and a specist project manager. Hearing these tunes reminds me how far I have come, to stay humble, to never disconnect from the beauty of late 90s D&B and never forget the days I wished for all the things I have now. Not only does D&B take to a place of amazing social memories, but it also takes to a place of solitude and humility. The D&B of 1995-1998 always sounds like a spiritual journey to me and a shameless display of electronic musical production in a style that transcends time and never sounds dated (like almost else everything does)

I'm 50 and was there as a youngster when this style of music kicked off. The commecrical music inderstry will never catch up to this stuff. Forever ahead of it's time.

i rarely see a comment section full of such peace and unique stories, i feel this mix finds you, rather than you finding it. for my story? it's still new, i have a long way to go, but i use this mix during my college studies and as a background track while i set up my first prototype video game. hopefully, in the future, ill come back to this mix, and recognize how far ive come :) stay frosty, yall, and never give up

Discovering dnb as a teen and enjoying music that's 25+ years old, it's really enjoyable

[gremlan]

Listened to this while riding on crowded busses through Mexico. It was perfect.

[FF-oonz]

It was early morning, I was in my dorm and had to work on a project, last year of college. I put this playlist on. As the first song played I felt really introspective and looked to a picture of me and my father on the beach when I was 5 years old, and started crying because he was no longer in this world. I felt a huge wave of nostalgia sting me, but at the same time I knew everything was going to be alright. The power of music man

[albancontrepois]

As a 28 old man, i am really impressed how charming and expensive music was more than 2 decades ago

[migol]

This music is so addictive. You just can't stop listening to it. It flows well in just about any setting. Bed time. Travel. In clubs, or bars. It doesn't matter. It flows.

[hoppy]

The golden age of D&B. Sensational.

[cybronichuman]

This music has always felt like it was out of this world and too far ahead of its time, as if you are listening to the future itself. It's a pure meditative journey through the clouds of your imagination. Thank you for this upload!

[troykennedy]

When you finally get back from the rave. Grab a glass of water, You put your intelligent tunes on, light a fat joint and just mellow out as that background buzz of the stimulants and visuals of the acid is dying off <3

[analihilator]

i committed suicide in 1995 and by the powers of drum n bass i was resurrected in order to plague humanity for a second time

[ilyachernobrov]

I am 37 and this music is music of my good young days.
So awesome!
One love!

[lostbehelit]

I've been a fan of jungle for years now I'm 20 and it's part of what made want to create music. But capturing that ethereal almost spiritual hopefulness/peacefulness perfect balance between repetition and variation of fast pacing drums and slow ambient pads and keys leads to some kind of introspection feeling to whoever listens to it, without talking about the composition. It almost seems like a product of it's time something that can't be recaptured nowadays, especially as the creative limitations have been pushed so far now, it makes me kinda sad but apreciate it so much more. What a gem this genre is!! My heart goes to all of the people inspired by this genre as I am allot.

Great mix love it!!

[SolarSymbiosis]

I was less than 10 years old when these tracks were produced and hearing them now gives me a chance to relive my childhood with a new sense of appreciation. Not that I had heard any of this material when I was young, it just feels like these songs are timestamps of that era. The feeling I get from them now is of a hopeful future, similar to a transcendental sci-fi vibe. Feels good. Thank you for sharing, and thank you for listening.

I grew up listening to this without realizing the importance of the era I grew up in and now I look back on it with a smile knowing I felt those vibes with others that feel almost long gone now
