Songs from the Tarpit (MP3)

an Illbient mix, made by request for promomixes.com, to try and capture the feeling of the old Abstrakt Wave parties circa 1996 in NYC, the homebase of the awesome but too-short-lived Illbient scene. Just over two hours, about 80 tracks, tons of layers, often 4 or 5 things happening. Tracklist and screengrab of Ableton set available at the site; all but a few tracks are from 96 or earlier. If you like dubstep, go see where it came from.

Genres: chillout, dark ambient, downtempo, dub, dubstep, illbient
