A rare ambient dj mix from the Black Dog to promote the release of their album "Music for real Airports" which is out now on soma. They had this to say:
It’s a shame they’ve [chill out rooms in clubs] dissapeared because there’s some great music out there that’s not getting the audience it deserves. This mix is to support Music For Real Airports and to show just how wide the spectrum of techno is, we make techno, it’s the only name we need.
