sitting here in isolation on my 40th birthday after doing a 12 hour shift in a nursing home looking after the most vulnerable people, the people that made our present!!! have learned alot of positives during this hard time and music is one of them!! this album is by far the most lifting album ! thank you!!!!

You're a star. When you come off such long shits maybe listen bbc sounds outlook, it about ordinary people doing extraordinary things. You might like it. Respect to you though for what you and co workers do.

[@pictureBigger]

the hours these legends must have spent in countless record stores back then. no laptops. no internet. no sync buttons. just ears and desire. librarians of music. fucking absolutely incredible.

[@porruolivier2916]

This mix tells exactly the story you say. Thisix is a painting of peace of history, the one of eats and desire. Well done picture bigcer

[@touristinfo6947]

They were getting fed music too for free

[@cd78]

amen

[@KevTJones]

You are right, hours spent in record shops listening to the plentiful supply of tunes from, well seemed like everywhere. The difference is being able to spot a a tune/ mix of a tune that stands out from the clutter of all the producers using the same synths/ drum machines/ recording method, then mainly Cubase by (Steinberg) today it is Ableton, that is why all the tunes sound the same. Sorry I digress. Digweed started a trend back then certainly among the younger djs. Imagine planing a set, rehearsing it and sticking to it. Fuck that I say, but no it worked, obviously. I guess I was wrong.

It's still an absolutely top-notch mix from John Digweed from 1994, i remember buying this on cassette(green cover) special memories. Who's listening in 2019

Me, it’s brilliantly put together for the time, especially with vinyl.

Almost hitting the 30 year mark! One of the ladies at work was listening to this as I was playing it and she really liked it! I said to her music was so much better back in the day!

[@ktpuss]

Yes! Great quality music never dates. I’m so glad I was just the right age to appreciate this the first time around and to say John was known to my circle and area 😊 …so many great times.

[@chrisjackson1945]

Only cd I ever wore out! Was working in a record shop when this came out. Still listen to this mix at least once a week. Pure class Digweed is a legend!

[@user-je8nw3lj5g]

The mix from Slam into Volcano (about 30 mins in) is absolute perfection!

[@WestHamPaul1973]

I was into Hardcore & Jungle around this time but I bought this on cassette & it changed my life! The programming, tunes & mixing was nothing like I'd heard before. I learnt to mix from this learning timing etc. John Digweed, one of the best to ever grace the decks! Then the Renaissance mix collection came out around the same time. The rest is history. Thanks JD

[@futureskeletons66669]

Check Rob Tissera from the same time. He mixes harmonically, but goes further up and down the scale so his mixes are more pumping.

[@StephenRichardsonUK]

I bought all the early JDJ CD's but this one was by far my favourite.

[@Dazzle138]

Damn right

[@darickishihara9956]

I agree...this is the BEST One!!!

[@glennstratton1129]

This whole set is burned into my brain for ever more. Still gives me goosebumps 27 years on!

[@lucasm3879]

This mix is a perfect companion to the first Renaissance album. Like that album, it's was released just before everything became much more segregated. Fast forward a year and the likes of Digweed, Sasha and Dave Seaman were playing a much more regimented mid 90's trance/progressive sound. This mix, like the Mix Collection 1, is so more varied.

[@sevkassabian]

I agree with pretty much everything you said. I love the mid 90's prog/trance sound but there was a very global, all-encompassing range with the tracks they would play. Powerful nostalgia and reminds me of growing up in the 90's.

[@Shellmurt]

Found my cd that i bought when I was 14 but have no cd player 😂 so delighted i found this on KZbin it still gives me chills to this day 🖤😻

[@garygarnett1]

Me too revisiting these sublime sounds after god knows how many years🪐

[@imisstrance]

Just found it too.

[@dexxr9]

Classic Digweed!!! My favorite cd from 1994 👍

[@Bomberman03031967]

Was just coming out of my Rave era in 1994, and this mix changed my musical scope. This and the Renaissance mix part 2 CD 3 is just so damn good 👍

[@andrewiangillies]

Think a lot of us shifted towards the house scene around this time....this mix and also the Billy Nasty mix.....amazing.

[@Bigtimecharliepotatoes]

Don’t forget northern exposure ❤

[@lucasm3879]

Digweed was so ahead of his contemporaries back then. I'm a fan of Danny Rampling, but compare the previous volume of JDJ to this and it's just on whole different level in track selection and mixing. Mixed in one take on 1210's too. Wowzers trousers.

[@DazmanLegend]

Absolute classic from my childhood & still sounds ace listening to it now!! I used to have this album on cassette tape (!!), & would rewind & play again over & over the tune ''Keep on Truckin'''!! Marvellous!

[@FKU7777]

Ah man this is where I first heard Eterna by Slam! What an underrated tune that was!

[@poedropicapiedra7565]

Holy cow!! I can't believe I just stumbled back into this mix again had most of JDJ CD's back in the early 90's man oh man the memories SOMA (South of Market) in san francisco in the middle of of the night trying to find where the party was going to was going to be the ones @ the ACME wharehouse where some of the fucking best so where the ones @ big heart ❤ city that damn dark alley entrance the abandoned pier warehouses right under the bay bridge with all of it' s lights and all this tunes playing by all of the big names of the times tenaglia, dj dan, the wiked sound system Garh, Jeno, mark farina, do doc martin, dj sneak, deep dish (before they became rubbish MAW, Hell even dj keoky whom I didn't really cared for and all the local talent spun, carlos, jelly bean benitez, Harry who, and so many other damnn you city, damnn you !! and your seductive power clandestine meetings filled with wierd caracters and fun friends mornings at dawn walking out of the house banging parties that inarguably pumped life into your forgotten corners dark alleys abndoned warehouses & empty docks where our swet, our inocence, our reckless abandon, our lust, and fearles quest for identity and wonderous spirits meet as ONE !! no diferences of any sort only suport and love as the punding of the thundering bass and the piercing lazer beams gided us into unrestricted pleasurable bliss damnn you city, damnn you city

"Open Up" is a real boomer in this mix. I keep coming back in every 2nd or 3rd month to listen to it again and again.

[@chrisasplen5605]

Yup that mix into Open Up is great: starts at 36:40

[@topotheleague]

found this on CD for £2 at a local shop while trying to find some new tunes and it's instantly become one of my favourite mixes ever it's so fckin smooth and funky , when did this come out? 94? my friends and I are only 19/20 ish but this sounds so fresh and we all get down it. big up

[@seanbunch6760]

We used to follow the likes of Digweed, Sasha, Tall Pall, Tony Quintero, Lisa Loud, Graham Park, Nancy Noise, Paul Oakenfold, Todd Terry, Danny Rampling etc... up and down the country weekend in, weekend out for some of theist times imaginable around '90-'97. Best years of my youth without question. I'm 47 and still listening to them. Love it.

[@Wolvesboy]

Sam Holt bought this back in the day hen it originally came out and is an all time fave. It's a little dark and mysterious ......I foolishly lost it in a clear out at home ! Glad I can still listen to it on you tube😀

[@LadyThorneblood]

Sam Holt what decent music was this what dance/house/tech etc should be kudos for finding and appreciating.

[@damienfowler7818]

Sam Holt I had the whole collection back in the nineties.. I thought I was so cool no one else even heard of it even then lol

[@rossduckering7048]

Bought this on release in the early 90’s. Still one of JD’s best released sets to this day. Superb start and the second track is arguably BT’s finest piece of work! Some great house and early prog. So many good nights seeing JD across the UK in the early days and at the Renaissance residencies down South or up North in Glasgow. Great times for techno, acid house, prog and emerging styles back then. Still is today, but back then it was new, underground and a very different scene. When the government and police hated the scene,…now we have chill out rooms in most big corporate offices! So much of that underground scene has permitted into our day to day lives now. The power of a movement! 💪

[@ianlawman5268]

Been around the world and this set is still unique. 20 years ago it hit the spot. Something hypnotic about this mix. Next level. Never forget. Thanks John.

Still have this on CD. Actually I never got rid of any of my CD's or Vinyl from back then.

Easily in my Top 3 mixes of all time, and I'm pretty sure it has a permanent spot in there. Pure inspiration from beginning to end, it has great potential to change lives around the world.

[@sevkassabian]

Just saw this haha my bad, that's a tough question to answer. I find a lot of the contenders for favorite mixes that are hard to rank have been Global Underground, some BBC Essential Mixes, and others. In no particular order: Sasha San Francisco Sander Kleinenberg Nubreed Sasha Essential Mix 2000 Daft Punk Essential Mix 1997 Northern Exposure I'll add some more later

[@porruolivier2916]

I told the same to my friend, pure inspiration, flawless, a soul spirit. It is a peace of history in it, you feel it. as you mentioned, A decade underground wirh Blake Baxter and Royksop Back to mine could rand the podium. Love and respect my friend

[@KevTJones]

Hey John, we met at The Liquid Room, Edinburgh a few years ago, briefly. This is still an outstanding piece of work. I recall when it was first released and all the hype and paranoia. Tom Wilson on Forth One played on air (radio) the whole thing one night and the company behind it went nuts, oh the good old days. 2023 and still a beautiful experience, some absolute classic tracks, Drowning Man is so now. Soundscapes are one thing but straight up dance tracks are just that and when put together like this was, well lets have re interp with technology. Just a thought. God bless you John.
