Here’s another classic mixtape, from early 1993, by Mark Farina. The NEF file for the picture I took of the B side of this tape was somehow, though somewhat interestingly, corrupted. Thankfully, the music remains intact.

“I recorded this set live at Drumbeats in Love in the High Desert around my birthday in 1993. The party was pretty damn good from what I remember of it. The set comprised of some of some hard trance from Eye Q and Harthouse Records. I was a big fan of that sound at the time. What I do remember is that I made this tape as a Christmas present. I only made about 100 I think and just gave them away. It is a pretty rare tape and I am glad Simfonik is putting up near Christmas so that I can give it away again.” – Thee-O

“Omar (now known as Darius Alexsander) and I have known each other a very long time. We both went to the same Jr. High and High School. When I first met him in 8th grade we were both into DJing. I remember riding my ten speed over his house just to get my hands on some 1200’s which I did not have at the time. After high school we both got into the rave scene. We both started DJing different things and kept in touch with each other over the years. We decided to do our first mix tape some time in 1995 I believe. This is our first Mindwaves tape, of which we eventually made 3. This is one of my most requested mixes to put online and I am glad simfonik.com is getting this up. Hope you enjoy.” – Thee-O

This video was shot shortly after his project presentation and demonstrates the AirDeck virtual theremin application he designed. The AirDeck was written in Jave with the WiiUseJ API for handling Wii remote events and the JSyn API for internal synthesis. It can control MIDI out as well as offering a simple DJ scratch interface for real-time manipulation of sound samples similar to a DJ scratching with vinyl records.

This is the first mixtape from the Cybersex series by DJ Thee-O. Here’s what Thee-O had to say about this tape:

“Cybersex came out in October of 1993. That year was very much a transitional year of techno music. You had things going into different directions. Trance was starting to form and the breakbeat techno I was spinning was starting to mutate into drum n’ bass. At the time I was really getting to the new sounds that Warp Records was doing with their Artificial Intelligence series which includes artists as Black Dog Productions, Aphex Twin, B-12 and Autechre to name a few. At the same time R&S was doing a side label called Apollo that was also moving more into what today would be called IDM. I started getting into these sounds and decide to create a tape with these sounds. I am pretty happy about how it came as it was very different for the time. It is still one of my favorite mixes. I hope you enjoy.” – Thee-O
