Absolutely stellar atmospheric drum n bass mix from LTJ Bukem released back in 1995. Featuring classic tracks from Photek, Danny Breaks, Source Direct, PFM, Chameleon, and Wax Doctor from the golden age of jungle. Essential listening!
LTJ Bukem - The Rebirth (1996)
Absolutely gorgeous atmospheric drum & bass mix from LTJ Bukem released on Yaman in 1996. Unfortuantely, I had to cut the very last track (Seba & Lotek - So Long) due to a worldwide block by Good Looking Records. Not sure what the deal is with Good Looking when it comes to YouTube. So many of the tracks they released are blocked worldwide. I really hate having to edit these mixes in order to publish them.
