Let me guess. You all became depressed after finding out that most records in the shops are just rubbish and boring and it takes an incredible amount of work to find something of true value.

From the cover: "Bass synthesized from analogue frequencies, welded together until they concuss, forcefields tweaked to emit hostile tones that swarm with sullen anger". Woah, woah, woah...

100 years have past and my brother and I discovered the new Ambiance....

15:16 Jewelcase cover comment: ""Throughout Kemistry&Storm's mix, the breakflow switches from pacy and punchy to rigified mekanik. As sluggish as wet cement yet as treacherous as quicksand, digital rhythm is industrialized to extreme densities, processed past the timbral spectrum of metal, reinforced to the tonecolour of concrete. Bass is synthesized from analogue frequencies, welded together until they concuss, forcefields tweaked to emit hostile tones that swarm with sullen anger...""

On the Sunday night of the last Glasto before the pandemic, I'd read that DJ storm was closing off the Stonebridge bar. I'd heard of her legendary status with Kemistry way back when, but never seen her in action, so I settled in with the squad for an all night rave up in the bar. The DJs before did theirselves justice, but when Storm took to the decks it was phenomenal. Slick mixing, driving bass, and the perfect mix of rude tunes in amongst some euphoric mind benders. I'll never forget her last track, sent the whole tent into pandemonium. BIG UPS! not many do it better !!

Ah, i heard that so many time. Love it. Had it on mini disc.

I have lived this album ever since I found it way back in the day. I miss the 90’s!

that blend of Closing In with Everywhere I Go is the greatest thing i will ever hear in my life

I don't care what anybody thinks or says...greatest DnB DJ mix compilation ever to hit the shelfs. I played this one probably 5000 times ... The Everywhere I Go RMX was my summer time soundtrack of 99. Hyena I by Goldie was another masterpiece track (love the Ringz of Saturn EP)... so much greatness.

music is weird. the harmonic series is older than atoms. maybe as old or older than gravity. the harmonic series underpins melody, but how ancient is rythm? our hearts and minds are machines built to operate with these ancient systems. are we tapping into something like the fabric of the universe itself? or is it just that ancient endlessness that existed when we were in the womb? when rythm itself was nascent?

This is classic of DnB culture.

Come back someday! King of my evening chill occasions.

This takes me back. I think '97 onwards for me. I wasn't into some of the early days tunes. For me DnB had to find its feet & mature, before I got the bug proper. At the time, it reminded me of the infancy of House music, 10+ years before, where the hot styles would change every week, until it went overground, & died out. Which is where the real heads turned to the Breakbeat scene, moving to Jungle Techno, & then, onto 'Drum and low end' (DnL!).

One of the DNB mixes of all time..

RIP 🙏 some of the greatest of all time
