2002ish Insomnia Mix

download

I can't quite remember why I called this mix Insomnia Mix, but I think it was along the lines of 'these tunes would be nice to hear late at night'. Or perhaps I just called it that because it contains a tune called 'Insomnia in dub'. It certainly wasn't because I thought it would be good to listen to if you wanted to fall asleep. I don't know what sort of music would actually work for that.

This mix is quite relaxing though, nice slowed down beats, a little bit jazzy, and not very long - only 40 minutes.

Tracklist
1. car boot soul - les nuits (warp)
2. j. axel - one way ticket (deep4life)
3. recloose - insomnia in dub (planet e)
4. wamdue kids - intro (peacefrog)
5. charles webster - be no one (peacefrog)
6. kirk degiorgio - ups and downs (far out)
7. koop - waltz for koop (jazzanova compost)
8. ian o'brian - midnight sunshine (toy's factory)
9. kirk degiorgio - opus 3 (far out)
