Despite the title, this mix isn’t meant to be silly or cheesy. I thought the title was simply cheeky clever. The title was also somewhat inspired by a Something Positive comic that set a new standard for awesome.
This isn’t your typical chill mix. Most commercial releases are usually popular downtempo artists from the late 90s & early 00s. Meh. This mix is the before and after stuff: the glittery happy variety from pioneers like The Orb, Pete Namlook, Fluke, Jam & Spoon, Orbital, and more than a few tracks and remixes by Mixmaster Morris (aka The Irresistible Force)… those rare gems that nobody knows and always make ambient fanatics smile. The selections include old school ambient and hip hop along with modern ambient trance, dubstep, electro, and mashups.
I put these together because, well, nobody has done a mix like this in a long time and few people have the experience to mix together these generations of music. I wanted something bright and vibrant that not only made me feel good, but my co-conspirators as well. Thus I added in a few hooks for them including Chicane, PVD, Roy Two Thousand, and The Land of Green Ginger.
For me it’s “finally making that mix” that starts with MMM’s remix of Speedlearn. A mix that follows Chicane’s Overture with School of Fish by Namlook/Morris. A mix that I get to drop in Hey by Jurassic 5 (in an ambient mix??) as well as The Dream by The Orb. And so on…
