Okay boys and girls. We begin our descent once again into the early 90’s, adventuring into the sounds that fueled the land of rave out here in the Midwest (and elsewhere I’m sure). As I write this I am recalling the many hours of being on the road to get to the remotest warehouses, basements, barns, fields and farms, being so thankful for the mix tape as it has guided so many of us along our long (and sometimes monotonous) journeys in life. This mix dates back to 1993 and presents some US and continental European music, but its focus is firmly on the new sound of the time – UK “progressive house” (there, I said it). I sometimes can’t help but cringe when I hear mixes from this era, but alas they do bring back some unforgettable memories. So may this give you a chuckle or two as you imagine where on earth you were, who you were with, and most importantly what you were wearing back in 1993. Yes, go there…and enjoy!

I had this tape! It was ruined in a flood. Glad to have it back.
Don’t cringe, this is one of the most seamless mixes I ever heard, one of my favorite, and got me through many, many, a dark night.
This tape was a hey-day for me. Flawless mixing. Very soft touch on the vinyl. All the hits were here and none were too overwhelming. I can tell you 15 stories about where I was in my car and what was happening while this tape was playing. Thank you!
