I can’t explain the importance of this mix in my life. So happy to see how many other people know it. It’s always felt very personal to me. Almost as if I’m the only one who gets it. I’ve never been more grateful for that not being the case. Thank you so much for sharing these. I still have my copy of this cd with original artwork.
I've been looking for this mix not knowing the title/artist for months. I randomly heard an unmarked CD of mine and finally tonight I looked this up and everything connected in my head again. OMG 🤯 sooo happy the mystery is solved. I should've known!!
I could put this on repeat and listen all day long and it will Never get old and there’s always something different that I hear throughout. What a masterpiece 🫶🏼💪🏽👏🏽🙏🏽
spotter 542; No kidding man! 1995-2000 the best music, best drugs, and man the parties were unreal. Candy flipping at the local spot, and just chilling out to the best time for Music.
I'm one of them😂😊 But I'm sure I've listened to it way more than that. Heck in high school this and Mixmaster Morris' The Morning After I gamed a lot of RPGs and went to bed to these on the regular.
Well over 250 times. I’m on my 4th hard copy original CD. I’ve been able to find most of the tracks on vinyl, and have mixed them countless times. Sending you guys mad freaking love! I can’t believe I’m turning 52 in a few days!
Speechless doesn't begin to cover it. This is hands down the best album of music I've ever heard! Excellently paced, flawlessly mixed, and there isn't a time that I listen that it simpley doesn't overload me with audio/tactile synesthesia.
Oh man oh man! No way to explain the goosebumps I have right now. Renaissance, Norther exposure, Global Underground! That IS class. Its not the past, for me this is eternal.
I can remember seeing them so many times live at Simon's in Gainesville and just being blown away by the mastery. I love that I can be 10 years sober and listen to this music and still experience the connection to the beats.
Same here seven years sober. Buy a fluke. I met this random lady online and it turns out she used to work the door at Simmons!!!! we probably gave her our ID!
Sasha & Digweed were the absolute leaders in tune selection. Each of the northern exposures produced absolutely golden segments! Timeless. So many emotive segments you just play on repeat. Hard to replicate in there modern era.
Listened all the way through my teens, and ultimately landed on techno. Surgeon, Regis, mulero, Clarke etc but that prog sound was unbeatable in its time.
@@peterpratt1526 real tawk. Even the old guys are putting out sub par music. I've noticed every band/composer from the 90s lost their cred trying to be pop.
I have been a part of the 90’s rave music scene in Florida ever since this cd was released and even danced with DJ Sasha. This is the ultimate listening trance cd ever recorded! If you don’t get (understand) the impact of this cd in the dance/rave community, get on board!
@@Lesardah You are absolutely right about that! I miss those years! Which clubs did you frequent in Orlando? Do you remember The Club At Firestone? That was my ultimate favorite! I used to dance in the cage in front of the dj booth! 😃
@@GigShotsCarmenG We went to Firestone all the time. I remember we had a "tactic." There was this place up the street from Firestone called Club Cairo which had an open bar from 10 to 12. Then we'd finish the night at Firestone. We mainly went to the raves, though. A close friend of mine was friends with DJ Sandy and Tess from K5, so we got to get in VIP sometimes (met Crystal Method once - insane). Orlando was a great place for the "early days" of EDM! Lauderdale and West Palm had more of a house / dance music culture. While Trance has always been my favorite (especially Chicane, rest his beautiful soul), I loved it all. Kinda into New Retro Wave now - especially The Midnight :)
This was something very special to me and in fact it in some ways indescribable to others who were not Around during those awesome years. kind of difficult to put into words how much this cd means to me. Sucks I have tried to buy it and am never find it. This cd is my dark side of the moon much love for posting this
I was there too. I even danced along with Sasha in Orlando. I’ll never forget that! After all these years, this is still my favorite trance recording EVER!
Chronology boyyyyyy. Listorama, with time data. I can see you had the urge to clarify still further. I felt it was definitely needed. To be stamped on the comments list like a, Dagger Pierced Lutheran Game Changer.
4:05 to 6:45 is the greatest transition I've ever heard in my life. The drop at 6:45 is legend and I remember it to this day since I first bought this cd.
I bought this and Expeditions in CD format from HMV in Bromley. It was 98 or 99 and I was working in the ad sales team at Loaded magazine in London. These two albums never left the company car. I drove anywhere and everywhere to these sounds. I'd go for a drive to nowhere just so as to blast them out sooner than annoy my girlfriend and neighbours back in the flat. We were clubbing every weekend in those years. Bagleys. The Cross. Club UK. Leisure Lounge. Satellite Club. Strawberry Sunday. The Fridge. The 414. The End. SW1 (later Pacha). Club SE1. Heavenly Social@The Gallery. Ministry of Sound. It was all high-end clubbing with quality mixing and sounds. But nothing quite so house-dub-cool as these lads. Only Paul Trouble Anderson, Seb Fontaine and Eric Morillo come to mind as DJ's I danced to live on set with a quality threshold anywhere near. Wow! What a privilege to witness all of that! God bless.
Quite simply the best mix the two have ever done in my opinion. Singularly I think Sasha takes the edge with his legendary Global Underground albums and his personal work but this in my opinion is the best side of a cd album they have ever done. Mixing, tune choice, smoothness, and class are impeccable, no one can come close to what they have achieved when it comes to mood mixing, several waves of goosebumps have descended upon me in the last 70 minutes or so!
I'd respectfully disagree and say that as an individual, John Digweed is more skillful. It is a very close-run thing and they have different strengths; Digweed is more technical and subtle while Sasha is more dramatic. Let's face it, they are two of the best but I think that it is fair to say that together they are better than either are by themselves.
John Whyte I somewhat agree, I feel they're equally good yet different in style. When combined together they're easily the best DJ act I have heard, absolutely magical.
Mate, I listened to everything they put out in real time and for me, the 'Journey By DJ' series of c1994 Sash/Digweed #4 was, and still is my favourite! But the margin between all their stuff, especially Digweed was narrow because it was all great. More importantly it was in the right place at the right time...Including me! :) "Put your hands in the air and say you just don't care!"
@IAmaPersion I did, I don't know why that is. I basically said I can't remember where I read it but the difference in styles is obvious. In a really long winded way lol
So many memories. Driving along deep forest roads, with gorgeous scenery to die for, as a taxi driver delivering a package to Ystradgynlais, Swansea from Wrexham. This as loud as loud can be .... wonderful !!!
I've listened to all their releases and seen them live playing together and separately on countless occasions. Gotta say this mix is their finest shit. 1st time ever listening to this gem and i'm speechless.
Loving this.. Paul O got me started on this journey many years back but I was amazed at NE#1 and NE#2 is imprevisse also, can't wait to check out CD2. Also to lacrahuntington great to see another tour for NIN just a few months back.
Yeah you missed having to buy the same music over and over back in the day since you would play good music like this too many times and the tape in your walkman would wear out. Remember putting this onto my first iPod too so it wouldn't wear out anymore. Only problem then is your ears would wear out first now LOL
I've been attending and producing raves since 1986. started in Miami, Tampa, and my all time favorite spot was Firestone in Orlando. But this is, has, and always will be the most beautiful and precise mix ever. From beginning to end... And for the one guys comment... I've felt like I was in Heaven quite a few times with this gem man. 47 years old and I still love to get down.
OmG!! I've been searching for this album for twelve years!! I used to listen to it over and over and over and over and over and over and over and I still love it!! The best mix ever created & it will never ever get old!! My favorite of all time. Yay!
Only thing I worry about is if this gets taken down. Be a real shame as I've had such good feedback from everyone. Thanks everyone for your comments and memories. It's what it's all about!
James Brewer it's still up, thank God. I am listening to this for the first time. It is December 29th, 2017. I was 16 when this was released. I'm now 37. And it is probably the most beautiful music I have ever heard. Thank you for posting it.
James Brewer yep I've had this since it came out and consider it one of the best. Especially the first 3 songs and last 3. Another level...few if any have reached.
41 now myself so I was....err.....19 I think. Memories, memories, memories. Makes me quite sad that those days are over but when I listen to this it brings back nothing but goodness.
2020 and this is still the best mix of... Anything. Not even their other works compare. Used to listen to my copy of this non-stop. That CD's long gone. I also have to say, the tiny, extra, "bapbap-bap" sounds during the last track are ONLY on this mix, as well as the way that same song gets extended and made more awesome with the rising crescendo. This is art... a thing that should be required listening somewhere.
I’ve bought this Album a couple of times. I’m old balls. I’ve either leant it out, not to have it returned, or stolen. This is my all time favorite album, and I can not live without it!
This album is incredible! I’m old as hell too. 50 in February. I remember being 20 years old in Tampa during the late night rave days and listening to this over and over. It’s a masterpiece
@@nat_the_gymrat1975 52 here. I listened to this after to going to Club Utopia in Vegas. My best friends took my ex wife and me to it. That’s where we both tried x for the first time. Christopher Lawrence, and Sandra Collin’s were DJ ing. By the end of the night, I’d taken two double stacked Tweety bird, tried K, and everyone ended up finding me upstairs in a drum circle. We went back to my friends house. Where he pulled out some great weed. We all got comfy, then he put on this CD. LIFE CHANGING MOMENT! That was in 98, 99? I’d never been into techno before that. Well, Chemical Brothers, Ronnie Size, Daft Punk, Fatboy Slim, and the Crystal Method were the only techno CD’s I owned. I started mixing records a month after that experience, and know every beat of this CD. I’ve probably listened to it 500+ times. Yea Nat, I miss those years! Big hugs! 🤗
this mix has everything.. great vocal tunes,build ups/breakdowns,breaks, snarling acid, trance. it's got the lot..not many djs can take you on a proper journey,but this is sublime
I remember when I saw them play at The House of Blues, New Orleans LA. that I saw Digweed mixing 3 vinyls at the same time. I couldn't keep track on what he was doing, but he was a machine at the mixer board... it was like seeing a scientist run sophisticated machinery for an experiment... and that is what he was just exactly doing... creating new sounds/mixes with pure artistic precision and mastery. I realized then the level of talent it takes to have a name like Sasha or Digweed.
It’s not finished Symphony, it’s just Symphony which was the original by Mike Truman. When he teamed up with Chris, then rewrote it with the Russian federation Orchestra and called it Finished Symphony 😉 But yeah, from Uberzone to Fluke to Distant Voices to Purple and then capping off with Symphony, I couldn’t ask for more out of electronic music. The pinnacle still 24 years later
+Charles Pulman Definately......I'm guilty of that myself when I mix. I just want to play the slammers without to much thought about the mix.....guess that's why I'm not sasha and digweed :)
This is my cleaning music! My boyfriend is moving in with me tomorrow, and I haven’t cleaned the apartment in a while. I’m gonna surprise him with a clean apartment tomorrow.
Lol - we are married now. He almost broke up with me when he moved in and saw how messy it was. And that was after 12 hours straight of cleaning. COVID was wild. Bye for now, diary. xD
fuck me brings back the 90s with a nostalgic lump in my throat. I've still got the original release from 1997 when dance and clubbing was still fresh and meant something - cannot believe its FIFTEEN years ago.
I love this whole mix sooo much. It always takes me back to my early “raver” days. Listened to it so many times, either in the bg, blasting it in my car, or in the comfort of my own home. Nothing but pure sonic love. Sacred to my ears. Lost Tribe’s Angel… into Gus Gus Purple… to finish with Hybrid Symphony…. ~Heavenly~
Mern3k All the best and greatest respects though - in a non derogatory way ... ... safe & cool ... Sorry otherwise .....................................................................................................................................
+Marcus Hertz I would understand if these two to didn't cement their way in to being two of the baddest djs ever. and I agree because I only release live mixes. But, this is perfection. ableton or not
I wish I could get all of the people who love this album and understand it to dance under the milky way on a clear night...or even better under the Aurora Borealis in the arctic circle...this album is still as amazing as when it was first released and it brings back so many memories for me. Take care...we are all friends through a shared love of music, this particular album is enough to heal wounds and stop wars if only more people heard it!
Reminds me of road trips to snowboard in the mountains in Colorado. We’d play this CD cranked up along the mountain passes. Was the best! Took you away to another place.
This is THE progressive album IMHO. I have yet to find such a seamless and well thought out mix of breaks, trance, and house music. Some of the most obscure tracks you'll ever lay ears on put together in an hour of flawless musical bliss.
Every time I lose interest or need inspiration on what it takes to be a good DJ and/or make a good mix, I listen to the Northern Exposure compilations. My only complaint is that unless you have the vinyls and are a DJ-you don't truly comprehend the mastery and sophistication this series entails. This series even from a historically point of view is ground breaking. This is when progressive breaks were in their infancy, trance wasn't a popular genre, & many DJ's didn't cross genre boundaries.
Goodness me. What an incredible music this is. It's hard to pour into words, maybe impossible. One of the best mix I have ever heard in my entire life. If you were born in the '70s, or '80s you know exactly what I mean. If not, I encourage you to pay attention. It's exceptional. It's one of the best electronic music can offer - even today. 👌👌👌 (quality upload 👍)
😂 TOO FUNNY! I’ve done a few of em in my undergrad days. Encompassing this album with the broader context of EDM music. I feel every emotion within the span of this freaking God tier mix!
Arguably the best album of modern dance music. It is timeless. While the beats and sounds may seem rudimentary by modern day standards, the classic sounds and a generous soulful rhythm give this album a solid 5 stars. Kudos to Sasha and John Digweed. Probably their greatest collaborative effort ever.
This is my all time favorite cd. Arguably the best EM cd ever released. The greatest adventure I've ever been on EVER. I can't tell you how many times I've bought this cd, simply because I was always giving it away.
saw these guys in a tiny club called "escape" in brighton when I was about 14. that was 1992 i've listened to these albums since they came out and they just never get old
23:30 , giving me chills, and brings me to tears these days. I will alway love you. If I could go back in time, I would have never lost you. ❤️🩹 😢 26:10 ok, pity party done. Back to the deep space exploration. 😂
This particular version of Northern Exposure (East Coast Version) was transformative for me back in the day. I am so happy to find it again (I miss my old CD of it so bad)! Thank you for letting me finally find it again. This album is a musical journey into bliss😊
Was a raver from the get go late eighties and this is my fav trance cd ever, man do I love pulling it out on the playlist and go back to the good days hard n out of it on brown buiscuits n dove’s, you can hear sounds that no one get blew my mind and still gives me goosies n shiver’s up d spine, thank you Sasha and digweed thanks for coming to sir Henry’s in cork city I’ll never forget it thank you so so much for the experience many many times I’ve seen ye live, live it up!! Bang d bass 😝😝😝😝😝😝😝😝😝😝😝

Sasha is (in my opinion) like a Chanel suit. He will never go out of style. This album is literally perfection and still relevant 20 some odd years later. ❤
Is there something wrong with me because I love this music? I think it communicates with me on some funky way I can't really put into words.. like I'm simultaneously living in the present while at the same time being transported into an almost tribal past part of myself... CD 1 does the same thing to me except is more of a "rollin" mix ..
Without a doubt sasha gr8st mix here the track selection is absolutely mind blowing he works the the set up 2 peak time tune angel lost tribes my goodness me still fresh after 24 yrs god bless Mr coe n digweed👌❤️👏🕺

Best mix album ever....

Best friggin CD! Gotta get this on my Groove music app.
I feel you. This brings back irreplaceable memories. It’s still so sick.
Songs and mixes are the soundtracks of our lives.
For real!
That first "baa daaa" and I'm immediately transported back 25+ years. This is programmed into my cellular structure.
On the water we walk, see me as he…… 😂
This mix will sparkle like a diamond through time forever....
+fatboymig1 It's amazing how a lot of these albums hold up and just don't ever get old!
Along with northern exposure one
It has for the last 30 years. And it's still going strong.
If God was into mixing I think this is how he would mix....simply the best.
+James Brewer agree :)

Hearing all these beautiful tunes by Sasha and Digweed brought me back to my 20s
+spotter 542 For me that was now a long time ago :( :)

Ahem to that
Music in general was just better then. Many late nights in Tampa.
This is just amazing. I reckon it's probably just 1000 people that have listened to it 250 times.
I'm one of them😂😊
But I'm sure I've listened to it way more than that. Heck in high school this and Mixmaster Morris' The Morning After I gamed a lot of RPGs and went to bed to these on the regular.
Probly true that
Well over 250 times. I’m on my 4th hard copy original CD. I’ve been able to find most of the tracks on vinyl, and have mixed them countless times. Sending you guys mad freaking love! I can’t believe I’m turning 52 in a few days!

Still trippin' to this in 2023 🤩 ...without even being on drugs 😋
YOU HAD TO GO THERE! 😂😂😂😂😂😂🙏🙏🙏🤣🤣🤣🥹🥲 love it!
that is not just a mix ... it's an epic journey :D
Enjoy the ride
Well said 😁
The most evocative and original opening track you could wish for on an electronic mix.

Flashbacks ;)
Some of best days of my life in late 90s at simon's
Omg!! Simon's!!! Love!!! 🤯🥰🤩😛
Met my wife at an Oakenfold set at Simons in 2001 !

Remember putting this onto my first iPod too so it wouldn't wear out anymore. Only problem then is your ears would wear out first now LOL
I'm now 60 years old. When you have good taste in music it will never, ever leave you!!! Take care young lady!
Old soul??

The original Northern Exposure changed my life. The East and West coast editions simply hammered my trajectory in place.
Same. It's sort of amazing how music has the potential to shape us.
I've been attending and producing raves since 1986. started in Miami, Tampa, and my all time favorite spot was Firestone in Orlando. But this is, has, and always will be the most beautiful and precise mix ever. From beginning to end... And for the one guys comment... I've felt like I was in Heaven quite a few times with this gem man. 47 years old and I still love to get down.
Awesome 305 baby!!!!
Absolutely 💯
Unsurpassed to this day.
The transition from Cycles of time to Dammerung is absolutely mind blowing.
makes me cry with joy its so good
I agree, tears of happynesss, can only listen on special occasions..
The chill vibe of this mix helped me during some very turbulent times in my life. As a result I always have a special place in my heart for this mix.
same here man. this specific disc has seen me through some very dark moments in my life.
Kai Chen Glad to hear it's helped someone else. I'm still coming back again. :)
Same here
OmG!! I've been searching for this album for twelve years!! I used to listen to it over and over and over and over and over and over and over and I still love it!! The best mix ever created & it will never ever get old!! My favorite of all time. Yay!
amen
Werd!!
Only thing I worry about is if this gets taken down. Be a real shame as I've had such good feedback from everyone. Thanks everyone for your comments and memories. It's what it's all about!
James Brewer it's still up, thank God. I am listening to this for the first time. It is December 29th, 2017. I was 16 when this was released. I'm now 37. And it is probably the most beautiful music I have ever heard. Thank you for posting it.
James Brewer yep I've had this since it came out and consider it one of the best. Especially the first 3 songs and last 3. Another level...few if any have reached.
41 now myself so I was....err.....19 I think. Memories, memories, memories. Makes me quite sad that those days are over but when I listen to this it brings back nothing but goodness.
it's still here my friend - listening in 2020
2020 and this is still the best mix of... Anything. Not even their other works compare. Used to listen to my copy of this non-stop. That CD's long gone. I also have to say, the tiny, extra, "bapbap-bap" sounds during the last track are ONLY on this mix, as well as the way that same song gets extended and made more awesome with the rising crescendo. This is art... a thing that should be required listening somewhere.
I’ve bought this Album a couple of times. I’m old balls. I’ve either leant it out, not to have it returned, or stolen. This is my all time favorite album, and I can not live without it!
This album is incredible! I’m old as hell too. 50 in February. I remember being 20 years old in Tampa during the late night rave days and listening to this over and over. It’s a masterpiece
@@nat_the_gymrat1975 52 here. I listened to this after to going to Club Utopia in Vegas. My best friends took my ex wife and me to it. That’s where we both tried x for the first time. Christopher Lawrence, and Sandra Collin’s were DJ ing. By the end of the night, I’d taken two double stacked Tweety bird, tried K, and everyone ended up finding me upstairs in a drum circle. We went back to my friends house. Where he pulled out some great weed. We all got comfy, then he put on this CD. LIFE CHANGING MOMENT! That was in 98, 99? I’d never been into techno before that. Well, Chemical Brothers, Ronnie Size, Daft Punk, Fatboy Slim, and the Crystal Method were the only techno CD’s I owned. I started mixing records a month after that experience, and know every beat of this CD. I’ve probably listened to it 500+ times. Yea Nat, I miss those years! Big hugs! 🤗
this mix has everything.. great vocal tunes,build ups/breakdowns,breaks, snarling acid, trance.
it's got the lot..not many djs can take you on a proper journey,but this is sublime
Pure genius. This set is one of those rare moments that transcend music ❤
By far the best mix ever by anybody.
There are mixes and then there are works of art. This is a work of art.
Worded perfectly
Still the shiz bam bizzle all these years later. This was made for Orlando btw...i was a young raver sneeking into clubs at age 16 in 96.!
AGREE! 🤍🕊
Always on the soundtrack, still timeless in 2024. I saw this live back in the day, magical, still hitting.
I remember when I saw them play at The House of Blues, New Orleans LA. that I saw Digweed mixing 3 vinyls at the same time. I couldn't keep track on what he was doing, but he was a machine at the mixer board... it was like seeing a scientist run sophisticated machinery for an experiment... and that is what he was just exactly doing... creating new sounds/mixes with pure artistic precision and mastery. I realized then the level of talent it takes to have a name like Sasha or Digweed.
Mid to late 90s feels like it was a different world than today. I wanna go back.
Hybrid "Finished Symphony" sliding in so gracefully to end this mix is the icing on an amazing, perfect cake. 5 star mix from the original masters :D
It’s not finished Symphony, it’s just Symphony which was the original by Mike Truman.
When he teamed up with Chris, then rewrote it with the Russian federation Orchestra and called it Finished Symphony 😉
But yeah, from Uberzone to Fluke to Distant Voices to Purple and then capping off with Symphony, I couldn’t ask for more out of electronic music.
The pinnacle still 24 years later
Hybrid is a freaking great Electronica group! They write some of the most epic music...
timeless, and a time machine at the same time
This is a perfect example of not using the best tracks, but the right ones.
Charles Pulman they simply used the tracks that rode out well in loooong mixes... impeccable imo
+Charles Pulman Definately......I'm guilty of that myself when I mix. I just want to play the slammers without to much thought about the mix.....guess that's why I'm not sasha and digweed :)
Same haha
Rumble Fish my father always says the same (sorry for the bad english)
This is my cleaning music! My boyfriend is moving in with me tomorrow, and I haven’t cleaned the apartment in a while. I’m gonna surprise him with a clean apartment tomorrow.
Lol - we are married now. He almost broke up with me when he moved in and saw how messy it was. And that was after 12 hours straight of cleaning. COVID was wild. Bye for now, diary. xD
Music for the soul...the body....and the mind!
fuck me brings back the 90s with a nostalgic lump in my throat. I've still got the original release from 1997 when dance and clubbing was still fresh and meant something - cannot believe its FIFTEEN years ago.
how you doing friend it's been 27 years meow lol
One of the best Dissolves in music history.
Psppppsp
Indeed
I MISS THESE DAYS!!! Goosebumps..... ❤️🙏
Now this is Music! The original Masters at work.
If this was released in the 17th century, Sasha would have been burned at the stake for this musical sorcery! Timeless mix!
I was listening to this in ibiza 1999 goood old days xxx and a couple of Doves
Yeh, used to love the Doves back then man x
@@craigwilliams5968 I assume the xxx were triple stack ecstacy, what were Doves though?
@@AngelFireHALO ecstasy 😀
I love this whole mix sooo much. It always takes me back to my early “raver” days. Listened to it so many times, either in the bg, blasting it in my car, or in the comfort of my own home. Nothing but pure sonic love. Sacred to my ears.
Lost Tribe’s Angel… into Gus Gus Purple… to finish with Hybrid Symphony….
~Heavenly~
Love me some break beats too!
These 2 DJs have doctorates in mixology.
Mern3k easy when you have help - !!!
Mern3k All the best and greatest respects though - in a non derogatory way ... ... safe & cool ...
Sorry otherwise .....................................................................................................................................
+Marcus Hertz I would understand if these two to didn't cement their way in to being two of the baddest djs ever. and I agree because I only release live mixes. But, this is perfection. ableton or not
I wish I could get all of the people who love this album and understand it to dance under the milky way on a clear night...or even better under the Aurora Borealis in the arctic circle...this album is still as amazing as when it was first released and it brings back so many memories for me. Take care...we are all friends through a shared love of music, this particular album is enough to heal wounds and stop wars if only more people heard it!
Totally agree!😊
Reminds me of road trips to snowboard in the mountains in Colorado. We’d play this CD cranked up along the mountain passes. Was the best! Took you away to another place.
Awesome Mix I still remember buying this CD for the first time it made the hairs on the back of my neck stand up
This is THE progressive album IMHO. I have yet to find such a seamless and well thought out mix of breaks, trance, and house music. Some of the most obscure tracks you'll ever lay ears on put together in an hour of flawless musical bliss.
They ever play this shit 20 years later at shows? I would pay top dollar to attend that shit, Both Northern Exposure sets and both Communicate sets.
It’s my bday tomorrow so I’m straight up jamming to this right now. Still get the goosebumps from this. 1997 was the best year ever.
Every time I lose interest or need inspiration on what it takes to be a good DJ and/or make a good mix, I listen to the Northern Exposure compilations. My only complaint is that unless you have the vinyls and are a DJ-you don't truly comprehend the mastery and sophistication this series entails.
This series even from a historically point of view is ground breaking. This is when progressive breaks were in their infancy, trance wasn't a popular genre, & many DJ's didn't cross genre boundaries.
Spot on.
incredible mix, never tire of listening to this. A masterpiece.
Goodness me. What an incredible music this is. It's hard to pour into words, maybe impossible. One of the best mix I have ever heard in my entire life. If you were born in the '70s, or '80s you know exactly what I mean. If not, I encourage you to pay attention. It's exceptional. It's one of the best electronic music can offer - even today. 👌👌👌 (quality upload 👍)
My favorite mix of the late 1990's. A true MasterMix, nothing but inspiring.
No I'm at home in about two hours
YES! I wrote my Ph.D. thesis to this album. It was like a portal for creativity, and I wrote the whole thing in about three weeks to these beats.
😂 TOO FUNNY! I’ve done a few of em in my undergrad days. Encompassing this album with the broader context of EDM music. I feel every emotion within the span of this freaking God tier mix!
Arguably the best album of modern dance music. It is timeless. While the beats and sounds may seem rudimentary by modern day standards, the classic sounds and a generous soulful rhythm give this album a solid 5 stars. Kudos to Sasha and John Digweed. Probably their greatest collaborative effort ever.
2024❤still thumps...a classic set
THis still speaks to me and moves my soul and my feet...from about 40:19 minutes until ...8 years later! #LA Burning Man parties!
Dammerung always gets me!
Driving home from parties we would play this album.
Run to it everyday. No exception.
This mix blew my mind close to 20 years ago and still does every.single.time. The OG’s G.O.A.T mix!!!
one of the first records I ever bought was Lost Tribe's "Angel." magnificent...
Man this album was so great, takes me back to those longs crazy nights/days!
This is my all time favorite cd. Arguably the best EM cd ever released. The greatest adventure I've ever been on EVER. I can't tell you how many times I've bought this cd, simply because I was always giving it away.
saw these guys in a tiny club called "escape" in brighton when I was about 14. that was 1992 i've listened to these albums since they came out and they just never get old
23:30 , giving me chills, and brings me to tears these days. I will alway love you. If I could go back in time, I would have never lost you. ❤️🩹 😢 26:10 ok, pity party done. Back to the deep space exploration. 😂
This particular version of Northern Exposure (East Coast Version) was transformative for me back in the day. I am so happy to find it again (I miss my old CD of it so bad)! Thank you for letting me finally find it again. This album is a musical journey into bliss😊
The MAN!!! Have had the opportunity to see him several times over the years. First time in 93'. O the memories.❤️❤️❤️☺️
Again in 2022, just saying ✌👊🙂🥰🥰😘
Was a raver from the get go late eighties and this is my fav trance cd ever, man do I love pulling it out on the playlist and go back to the good days hard n out of it on brown buiscuits n dove’s, you can hear sounds that no one get blew my mind and still gives me goosies n shiver’s up d spine, thank you Sasha and digweed thanks for coming to sir Henry’s in cork city I’ll never forget it thank you so so much for the experience many many times I’ve seen ye live, live it up!! Bang d bass 😝😝😝😝😝😝😝😝😝😝😝
What a classic.
those feelings when we were listening to this...
I have this disc in my car, play it over and over. It's that good!
Thanks Eli Carr … Sublimely Blissful!!!🎶
Glorious and of such excellence, grandeur, or beauty as to inspire great admiration or awe.
Like Mozart's sublime piano… •exalted •elevated •awe-inspiring •majestic •magnificent •supreme •grand •first-class •superb •marvelous •splendid •blissful •rapturous •stellar •heavenly •divine •mind-blowing •too good to be true •out of this world •of such excellence •elevated to a high degree of moral or spiritual purity or excellence."let your thoughts be sublimed by the spirit of God."
this is the best music you'll ever hear 😂!
I agree
Sasha is (in my opinion) like a Chanel suit. He will never go out of style. This album is literally perfection and still relevant 20 some odd years later. ❤
Is there something wrong with me because I love this music? I think it communicates with me on some funky way I can't really put into words.. like I'm simultaneously living in the present while at the same time being transported into an almost tribal past part of myself... CD 1 does the same thing to me except is more of a "rollin" mix ..
It activates my tribal soul, raises my spirit
Without a doubt sasha gr8st mix here the track selection is absolutely mind blowing he works the the set up 2 peak time tune angel lost tribes my goodness me still fresh after 24 yrs god bless Mr coe n digweed👌❤️👏🕺
one of the best...
northern exposure east & west coast NEVER seem to get old... 💕 EVER.
