Ambient Liveset Thread

[goro]

I find that, these days, the more music I listen to the less I'm satisfied with individual songs. Livesets (not because they are performed, but because the performers have to move between many songs) and DJ mixes show real musical skill, which for me means being able to control the direction of your set, without dropping a beat, and doing it well. I don't have many, partly because I like downtempo music in general, purely ambient or beatless examples being few compared to the sea of chillout mixes out there, and partly because I'm a picky bastard.

This is my collection of ambient sets from over the years. Each piece is a treasure as far as I'm concerned. Most of these should be available as bootleg recordings online in one place or another. I have these up on soulseek (username: nikeniga) if another source doesn't present itself, or you can message and I'll post a zippyshare link. Sets marked with a * have been released.

If anyone else would like to post their list I would love to see it here.

sweet! gonna add you tonight so you can browse! really looking forward to that Emeralds live set!!

donato dozzy - babylon mix
moshimix 56 - bumani
stationary travels - the ocean inside
silent season - campfire stories great blend from ambient to dub techno, although it seems to me they are losing some quality over time, but the first few mixes are dope!

I think based on the sets you posted, you would like a mixtape I have from 1993 by Andrew Weatherall, called "Massive Mellow Mix". I have no tracklist for it, and as much as I've explored that music I know only one track. Look in the "mixes" folder I've shared, I'm sure you'll like it.

From the Headphone Commute series, Field Rotation's set is very, very nice (minus the last four tracks or so, where he changes genres and loses direction).

That last set you posted is your own, right? Would you mind uploading it to zippyshare or something like so I can grab it and listen properly?

[cosmic-f]

cool, thanks! can you upload that mix somewhere? I'll put my mix to zippy tonight and post a link here!
