Dimitri's Dungeon
BLOG
I kind of wanted to make a shrine to this guy because:
- His mixes RULE
- His tastes RULE
- I imagine him being this really awesome & humble dude who knows an insane amount of music knowledge
- He's gone MIA for over a year and I'm hoping all is well (he posted about being sick some time ago)...
- I'm kind of missing blogs and downloads like his.
To those that don't know, this is a guy from somewhere in Finland (I think...the blog is in Finnish, but his English is pretty stellar.) that makes these huge, absurd, but very rewarding mixes all focusing on one mood or theme. Most averaging about 70-80 songs each and 5-6 hours of play time total. But they are all these overlooked, scrapped, and forgotten gems of funk, soul, r&b, late 80s/early 90s hip hop, film scores, reggae, synth, ambient library music, psych rock, etc. all carbondated from the 70s until today ...just warm tones and chill beats. The type of shit you'd take a day off work and sit in your bathrobe, drinking tea on the porch watching the sunrise to. The antithesis of what I've been posting. But, his shit is infectious and artful and I'd really like some solace to know dudes doing OK. If anyone out there in internet land could post a status on here, that'd be cool...
EDIT: OK, so his links are mostly dead and that doesn't inspire any good thoughts. I'll attempt to upload what I got from him on here. Starting with his Dungeon Mixtapes. He included a ton of weird/trippy images (like the above) in them as well, and they're prevserved in the files too. So no fret on that.
