Various ‎– 21st Century Chill Out

21st Century Chill Out
2001 React

Finishing off the React trio that ended up a “21st Century” trio (we’ll do another React series showing off some of their other great releases someday). The “Chillout” phase in the 90’s was a transformative time for me and still is my go-to genre with trip-hop & downtempo mixed in. I think I bought hundreds of compilations and singles and ended up DJing chill rooms. This amazing collection is fairly flawless with heavy favourites Afterlife, Chicane & Mandalay mixed in. Sit back and enjoy.

21st Century Deep Trance
2000 React

To be honest I hadn’t listened to this collection in years. Actually haven’t really listened to Progressive Trance in a long time but this did bring back some good memories, especially disc 2. Lots of evenings at the clubs, red bull & vodka, 4-6 hours on the dance floor and an In-N-Out Burger at 5am. A few great regulars from the REACT roster and some personal favourites in the likes of Cygnus X, Oliver Lieb, Cass & Slide & Bedrock. It’s a pretty great collection & reminder of where electronic music was in 2000.

Various ‎– 21st Century Drum & Bass 02.

21st Century Drum & Bass 02.
2002 React

Pioneers of trance & techno, REACT was one of my reliable labels in the late 1900’s & early 2000’s. They kind of covered it all from their Reactivate to Real Ibiza series and Dope on Plastic to Drum & Bass Arena they had some of my most loved compilations. 

I can’t sit down and listen to D'n'B all day long but I do very much enjoy a weekly dose. This compilation was one of my first listens into the genre and still one of my favourites. Each disc mixed by 3 different “heads of industry” will take you on a groovy ride through the happening sounds of the early 2000’s. Turn it up and remember the days of dancing in front of the speakers…
