Jeff zieht mal wieder durch und fasst in einem vierstündigem Mix 30 Jahre Ambient in einer großartigen Playlist zusammen: Keep calm and listen to ambient.
One reason why ambient-techno of the early ’90s ambient/techno releases stands out as having a strong sense of the quirkily creepy in its own particular way, is the way it uses contrasting samples of a child quaveringly saying, „We had a dream last night,“ followed by a rougher sample saying, „We had the same dream,“ giving a track like the Third planet an unsettling feeling.
Weather it uses a good dancefloor sharpness to it even as or sneaky odd drones and samples through the mix, extraterrestrial themed, or SF samples from 2001, Blade runner, DJing this music will mostly, though, things continue on a deliciously unnerving pace throughout, gentle enough to go down easy but still just off enough to ensure you can’t call this new age folderol for the rave generation.
