GAIA LIVE MIXES. BIG CHILL - PART 1

After an unplanned week-long break (just too much work going till late every time), I'm back here with the new promised post. Well, series of posts - the third and the longest of the three.

I never knew, who actually did the third mix that I recorded from the Gaia Live stream. On the cassette I wrote simply "Big Chill", but I had no idea yet of what this title actually means. This was probably the best mix of all things downtempo/leftfield/soulful electronica I ever heard, with so many classic tracks (which I found out later) mixed up in a 1.5-hour journey.

One of the first tunes in this mix was this one. I haven't heard the 4hero's "Two Pages" yet and had no idea what revolution in the Drum'n'Bass sound it actually was. It will take me another 4 years to find out, that this was actually their remix. It also took 2 more years until I actually saw "Cowboy Bebop" series. But back then, in the summer of 1999, this was a revelation to me on how live and organic Drum'n'Bass could sound - even more than Adam F or Roni Size.
