2001 Moonshine Music

The last of three Moonshine posts. A fairly unique chill mix with a few overused tracks in the genre, but who really gets tired of hearing Michael Woods remix of “Cafe Del Mar”? Not much else to say other than it’s really a damn good collection. Digitally soft mixed for your pleasure.

1. Three Drives – Greece 2000 (Moonwatcher's Sea Of Tranquility Remix)
2. Moby – Go (In Dub Mix)
3. Goldfrapp – Paper Bag
4. DJ Food – The Crow
5. Bedrock – Beautiful Strange (Ambient Beats Mix)

2002 Ministry Of Sound

So this is where I was headed with the last 3 posts (minus April Fools Day). Odd, yet pretty excellent compilation from the folks at Ministry of Sound with a bunch of tremendous artists including Kinobe, Jakatta & Bent. It may take 15 minutes to get through the Hip-Hop on disc 1 (I’m not a huge fan of Rap after 1995) but I think you’ll be pleased. So turn down the lights, grab a drink & comfy chair and set this to play. I’m sure you need something to help detox, I sure do.
