[@SpiritualExplorers]

Every once in a while I’ll remember this specific mix and come back to vibe to the nostalgic feel of when I first heard this. Such a dope mix, man

[@Ianhuntercrocker]

I am doing this right now after a six year hiatus, no other mix comes close for me ❤

[@ashayguevara]

Same, I've begun to identify each mix by song and "cover art" from listening to them so many times

[@aigamisoumalaka990]

2015 I bumped the fuckkkk out of this and still come back to it till this day.

[@Phillsfan89]

Yup 2015 first time for me and just come back here and there to love it again

[@BranTaliesyn]

I just like all ya'lls comments. Maybe I could cause you to feel this again with a ding dong ditch ✌

[@wozusedyou]

So high right now, dressed as chewbacca with rose tinted sunglasses on, waiting for my cheese and ham toasties. Been wandering around my village with this playing through my ears into my mind for over an hour now...... Best. Day. Ever.

[@Kennystraightfighter]

+BIG WOZ Sounds great!

[@wozusedyou]

+Kennystraightfighter been sweet dude

[@TheTopKek]

What were you on?

[@wozusedyou]

+TheTopKek just vaping bud, got magic truffles in post though. Gonna take them and watch fear and loathing

[@francismusic1984]

+BIG WOZ that sounds totally awesome

[@rossoindia1]

actually one of the best compilation found on KZbin

[@confusedbi]

Fellow music lovers, I've decided to do a weekly podcast of sorts. I don't really have the capability at the moment for a streaming live sort of thing, so for now, I'm just going to make a mix each week and upload it to my soundcloud. It'll be mostly trip hop, though it will also be a freestyle session without rehearsals or set list, so I may start with trip hop, but where it ends up, tough to say for sure. The first one starts tonight 9-12 at midnight and each week, Saturday at midnight a new one will be up for your listening pleasure. Here's a link, hope to see you there soundcloud.com/the-confused-b-m-c

[@billybaldwin2619]

+Confused Bi-Product of a Misinformed Culture Thank you very much for your trip hop playlists, I've been following you since january and I love all of your work put into mixing! I've noticed you've been improving in your transitions & choices. Where do you find all of your trip hop tastes and tracks? - Bene-G

[@confusedbi]

Thanks, I would definitely agree, I've gotten a lot better this year. A lot of that came from putting together mixes like this and my Masterpiece sessions. It's honestly not how I prefer to make a mix, all thought out and rehearsed, but it did make me a much better, more well rounded DJ. I find a lot of stuff from DLoaw's channel as well as his HHvibe channel, I listen to a lot of other DJ's as well and have been known to troll around top 100 lists, or any other sort of list that might have an artist I'm not yet too familiar with. I also enjoy trolling around various playlists, spotify, pandora, soundcloud, mixcloud etc.. I think one of the jobs of the "DJ" is to find fresh stuff a lot of people haven't heard and mix it in a fashion that is unique and adds something to the track that couldn't be had in and of itself. So, I just go for stuff that makes me feel something and try to take that feeling and run with it, it's not always a happy place, but when I do it right, there is a distinct vibe to the mix, that's really what I am going for with every mix I make, to express something I feel, but still don't understand. Who knows..? Maybe in time, I won't be so confused and our culture will no longer be misinformed. I can dream, right :)

[@confusedbi]

+Pierce Wright Thanks. I get something out of it too. I probably listen to my mixes more than anybody else, I love a good mix :)

[@Hoovin]

May I ask, midnight in what time zone? I'm in Manchester U.K and wondering if it's feasible for me to listen. :) Good luck with this brilliant talent you have.

[@confusedbi]

+Henry Cowell Thanks for the kind words. I upload them around midnight, Eastern Standard Time, though if I finish it early, which I usually do, I just go ahead and post it late Friday night or Saturday morning. Each week will stay on my soundcloud indefinitely, so whenever you get around to it, or have a hankering for a sweet mix, they'll be waiting for you. I just made a nice one to bring in the new year. Enjoy :) soundcloud.com/the-confused-b-m-c/the-confused-bi-products-weekly-world-broadcast-new-years-day-special

[@michaeldehart6726]

You have a real talent for putting the right tracks together, in the right order. This not only has a constant theme, it takes you on a journey. Excellent work.

[@raivenneny]

Laptop, headphones, comfy seat & peace. Perfect way to spend my evening. Drifting away on a lovely blend of notes....thank you for the great mix

[@lucilepoulain4953]

Graphist and author-scriptwriter, i loooove to plunge myself in your universe for hours to work and be inspired!! thank you so much for bringing me back to my teenage trip-hop passion...

[@Morphru]

still my favorite mix, to this DAY, to this DAY.

[@Aphsinthys]

pure magic. The moderator - words remain is a masterpiece

[@factsabouturmum9250]

I've played this mix at least 100 times in the last couple years. It's just beautiful and rubs me the right way. This and the first two Masterpiece Sessions are my go-to. And every single person in front of whom I have chosen to play this, has loved it and asked what it was.

[@confusedbi]

I listened to this for the first time in probably about a year last week. It was nice and a good reminder of why I do it. Your're message too was a good reminder. Thanks for that :)

[@factsabouturmum9250]

No. No my friend. Thank *you.* For all of it. For countless hours of beautiful tones.

[@danieltaylor5657]

Sixfingerz- Loner is still one of my favourites, very unique.

[@confusedbi]

Me too. I almost didn't put it on, thinking it was a bit too well... Depressing. Though I really do relate with the track and it hits me in the feels so I said to hell with it and worked it in. Glad I did, as far as I can remember no one has complained about that track, but some have said this mix is a boring ass depressive mix. Oh well, I made it for us, not them. Cheers!

[@TheMetallerik]

That song stands out so much it made my day. Hell, it's past midnight and I'm listening it again. People are free to feel whatever they want, but as for me that song brings nothing but joy. I'm thankful.

[@olive_bytes]

I usually don't comment, but this mix was actually very moving and well done.

[@synntdryrius757]

Paradise Circus - Massive Attack.

[@amandakathleendasilva4879]

Total sentido kkkk

[@andresvaldez99]

Yes 🥰

[@Spikespeak]

Excellent! Thank you. I was exposed to trip-hop back when Morcheeba and Massive Attack were ubiquitous. Hooked ever since!

[@lolololzorski]

While I associate this music with several addictions I am trying to deal with and have dealt with in the past, these playlists have always helped me get through the the day and made me feel relaxed and forget about life for a moment. Thanks so much for uploading this and don't stop uploading new playlists

[@confusedbi]

When I started this one might say I was an addict. For years I really struggled with various addictions and through a lot of hard work and persistence it's pretty much over. This month in fact I am celebrating seven years off the junk and I'm pretty happy about that. I don't think time heals all wounds, but music, I believe, can and I'm glad these have been there for you :)

[@PsyDavCosmicTrip]

Ive heard a lot of mixes on KZbin with trip hop, chill out written in them but this one is my favorite still today

[@BigNorman14]

Incredible mix. I've listened to the whole thing five or six times now and have yet to find a moment I don't like.

[@opperhoofdgeilebizon]

I've listened to this mix so many times, chilling, studying, working ... just realized I've never bothered to give it a thumbs up😧 I did now, thank you for the joy and focus this mix brought me 👊

[@user-yf7nq7dq8e]

As I vibe with the vibrations of the frequency transmitted by the sounds and tempo it frees my mind to explore places within myself uncharted.

[@lidiavb9838]

Again I fell in love with this one, it is not as mystic as interstellar but it does not mean this one is not incredible and exquisite, I am learning about this music through your mixes.... thanks! a big hug from Costa Rica pura vida!

[@EstimatedProphet92]

I honestly can't believe how good this is... Seriously haven't had a mix hit me this hard in months, this is the exact reason I spend hours a day going down the rabbit hole trying to find music that makes me feel alive, makes my soul smile. Anyways I hate being a sappy asshole in youtube comments, so I'll leave it at this; thank you.

[@confusedbi]

EstimatedProphet92 You're quite welcome and thank you. I think of all my mixes this one and my masterpiece sessions Vol.1 have the most substance, the most umph for that soulful feeling we always seek yet can never get enough of. If you haven't gotten a chance to check out that mix, I highly recommend it. Here is a link kzbin.info/www/bejne/f5vFoXiEjJqSfZo Thanks for the comment!

[@twistedsensaiofhumorgfy5587]

[@aherodrowns3839]

Message to DLoaw: "So I happened upon Interstellar: A Trip Hop Mix, which led me to Quintessence: A 2015 Trip Hop Mix. Now I understand the source of his muse. Thank you for leading up to the chain of events that happened recently in my life. As a hardcore Industrial, Metal, and EDM fan, this is literally the balance I was always looking for, but never realized that I needed." I keep my word. Currently listening to Quintessence: A 2015 Trip Hop Mix. It's awesome. Thank you.

[@Samus1234567890]

Interstellar is what started me into Trip Hop as well! Everything you said here is double for me :)

[@henriquesantosdesouza9743]

I have been listening to this mix from time to time since the middle of 2015. I am so glad I found this. Thank you very much.

[@abstractbrainscans]

God it's so nice to hear some fresh melty triphop

[@triggerhappysound]

Your trip-hop mixes are amazing. I'd completely forgotten just how much I love the genre, thanks for the reminder!

[@danielvalles9554]

Damn, this is the best mix I've stumbled on in a while. Props.

[@vajdagergely6438]

I dont even know how i got here. But what i do know is that im not leaving. Really really good mix. Thanks.

+Vajda Gergely You are most welcome, stick around, I got mixes a plenty. Enjoy :)

This is soooooo great! Beginning to end vibes! Can't stop listening. Thank you for bringing the atmosphere to my room.

[@confusedbi]

+Nicola Taggart You're very welcome. That's really my favorite thing about this whole youtube DJ thing, sharing the vibes. Glad you are enjoying it :)

[@WubstepUK]

YES! This is exactly what I was looking for. I thought I'd search 'trip hop' on a whim, hoping for something decent - more than satisfied I found this.

[@amandakathleendasilva4879]

Shoowww

[@TeardropGhost]

I ABSOLUTELY love this. Thanks a lot! Confused Bi-Product of a Misinformed Culture, you make my job very much comfortable.

[@confusedbi]

Paula C. Thanks! Glad to hear it :)

[@TeardropGhost]

Confused Bi-Product of a Misinformed Culture You're welcome! Do you habe more trip hop mixes, besides this one?

[@confusedbi]

Yes, I have a few. I'll provide a link to two of them that I think you might like. The first one was the first trip hop mix I made. While not as polished as this, the track selection and progression through moods is quite nice. kzbin.info/www/bejne/fWa1aHiFpNpop6c This next one is my favorite mix, it's quite different than Quintessence, very moody, a bit dark, but also uplifting and progressive. I made it in response to the first trip hop mix, a challenge to myself to see just how far I could take it. Check it out, let me know what you think. Cheers! kzbin.info/www/bejne/f5vFoXiEjJqSfZo

[@casualcadaver]

Esthero is probably my favorite trip-hop artists. So many good songs on her debut and the production quality and clarity is top quality.

[@user-hu6vm5jw1g]

Классный сборник!

[@SameerGupta87]

It's 3:50 AM in the morning and I'm sipping coffee listening to this amazing mix. Superb collection!

[@v4nh3lt]

First time listening " Tri Hop ". Man super DOPE . From Venezuela

[@SageBear307]

I just wanted to say the transition from Hibiscus to Loneliness (57:45 to 58:45) is nothing short of genius. Definitely my favorite part of this amazing mix, because you can't find that beat anywhere else!

[@confusedbi]

Thanks :) That's what I dig about making mixes. The interplay between songs, those subtle tweaks and manipulations between beats that create those moods within the vibes. Dropping bass lines out and letting new ones carry over, building the momentum and then letting it go. It's really a fun thing to do and then when it's done, we've all got a nice mix to enjoy. Thanks for the comment :)

[@ironPanda616]

This is so dope! Had it on repeat for few days now!

[@mauricioguerrero3996]

The trip/hop raises my senses in a way not imagine... Saludos desde Venezuela.

I'm happy to hear that. I often make these when I'm having a difficult time with things. It gives me something productive to do and then when it's done I've got something to listen to when things go awry, which they inevitably do from time to time. Hope things are alright :)

I'm rediscovering trip hop lately and ran across this upload. Beautiful mix! I recorded a trip hoppy song years ago called "A Movie Without Sound". It's not great but it was my attempt and a nod to the genre at the time.

[@confusedbi]

+bikerscout2012 "not great"... Dude, come on now, that song is seriously fucking epic. I wasn't expecting much, a lot of people post stuff that's not so great, but that is a very complex, multi layered, beautiful horizon of umph. You have a really nice voice, the lyrics are great and the didgeridoo in the background with that organ solo at the end, really a very, very nice track. Thanks for sharing!

Its like flipping the page on to great future chapters after hearing Moonraker (defunct Chicago triphop), Endtroducing, and Cafe del Mar. Btw I drove around the city using stickshift while listening to your mix. Still a newie driver, traffic was meh and it was drizzling, so your mix helped adjust the right atmosphere.
