Abita growler, an ice chest, and about $80 in gas. ;-)

JW / Electronica Classics 003: Chicane's 2000 Palladium Set

Perhaps my all time favorite live trance set. This is the style of music that really captured my imagination in 2000 and I still find it enjoyable to this day.

Apparently he still tours, too, although I've never seen him billed anywhere in the southeastern United States.

JW / Electronica Classics 002: Danny Rampling's 2004 Essential Mix

This week's mix is a house favorite of mine from 2004. The highlight of this set for me is Scott Grove's "The Journey" about 20 minutes in, but the entire two hours is really quite good.

During the summer of 2004, this set probably got more play in my MP3 CD player than any other.

Full tracklisting is below.

JW / Electronica Classics 001: John Digweed's Twilo Essential Mix

I'm going to try & make this a weekly feature on the JW / Blog, where I'll upload a classic mix set from my collection.

First up is John Digweed's Essential Mix from May 16, 1999, recorded at the legendary Twilo in New York City. It's very reminiscent of his sound on the original Bedrock album released in 1999, and even somewhat of 2000's Communicate with Sasha.
