SO...i have 22 hours.
i know its not a club gig per say, but im looking for some advice on the ' ambient electronica ' part.
ive got the ' house ' part completely covered.

and, i get to use my computer...yay.
traktor and pcdj red will be my friends for the day.

im looking for a couple of ' choice ' ambient ish albums i can pick thru for the morning set...or, just an hour and half of singles.
any recommendations ?

and...seeing how this is a race involved event..any ' race themed music ' would also be of great help.

bring it on.

tour de france!
for ambient albums, i recommend the brian eno and robert fripp album from last year. i forget the name.
also manual's "the north shore" with jess kahr is nice.

...and how the f**k do you get to do an ambient set?

I can't find anyone anywhere interested in me doing that!

Re: i got the gig...now i need advice...HELP
 

but thats because you suck ! :D

Re: i got the gig...now i need advice...HELP
 

i'd say aphex twins' selected ambient works 85-92 would be perfect. any albumn on that one would work perfectly!

hmmmmm

maybe some really really atmostpheric dnb too... big bud or stuff like taht.

Have a listen to Artificial Intelligence II if you can; sweet, sultry electronics. I should be on in about 16 hours and can hook you up if you want to.


edit: - it's on Warp Records.

oookkaaay... yea - I'll give you, I totally walked into that one!

I mainly was talking about how there's not really any downtempo/ambient place to go here
