This unreleased DJ Trance mixtape was recorded live, in December 1995, at “Joy” by F.A.M.I.L.Y. The voice on side B, at about 34:00, is Just Jhymn. Thanks for contributing this tape JB!

Bassbin Twins – EP 1

simfonik — Sat, 13 Mar 2010 04:20:13 +0000

This was the first in a series of 3 EPs, released in (I believe) mid 1993, from Pete Houser’s Bassbin Twins project. The sound, to my ears, is distinctly early 90’s San Francisco in the best way possible: A collection of great hip hop, soul, reggae and house samples, arranged nicely over lovely mid tempo choppy breakbeats.

DJ Mojo – An Epic Oldskool Journey (Part II)

simfonik — Fri, 12 Mar 2010 07:37:53 +0000

This is the follow up to “An Epic Oldskool Journey”, one of my favorite mixes, by DJ Mojo. Part II picks up where the original left off, with a mix of hip hop, electro, techno and uk hardcore that later blurred into and influenced the jungle and drum n bass sounds (Epic Journey Part III?).

Eli Star – Omega

simfonik — Fri, 12 Feb 2010 05:55:33 +0000

I’ve had quite a number of requests for this Eli Star mixtape. It’s called Omega, it was released in 1994, and it’s great! Some mixes are a joy to listen to because of the nostalgia associated with them, and some mixes still just sound great, this mix is in the latter group. I love that Eli tended to play a lot of good music that other DJ’s didn’t.

Destructo vs. Mar Co – Raindance

simfonik — Fri, 12 Feb 2010 04:04:39 +0000

Raindance was released in (I believe) 1992, by Los Angeles DJ/Promoter Destructo and Mar Co on Destructo Records. The a-side mix is labeled as “Destruction Mix”, but the run out is etched “Techno Mix”. It’s all about the Tribal Mix on this record though, one of the better old school techno tracks to come out of Los Angeles. (Correction: The Destruction Mix is in fact my preferred mix. That break is one of my favorites)

James “Jack Rabbit” Martin – There Are Dreams And There Is Escape

simfonik — Thu, 11 Feb 2010 05:15:16 +0000

“There Are Dreams And There Is Escape”, by James “Jack Rabbit” Martin, was released in 1988 on the Chicago label Yoton. It’s an incredibly rare and sought after acid house record, and ranked 60 on the Top 100 list of the most expensive records sold on Discogs. My copy isn’t for sale.

Phase IV / Humanoid – Braindamage EP

simfonik — Sun, 31 Jan 2010 06:18:09 +0000

This 4 track ep by Phase IV and Humanoid was released in 1992 on German label Bit Bites Brain.

I first heard Barry Weaver play “Deep Inside” from this EP on KSPC 88.7, in 1992 or 1993, and the hunt was on until I finally found a copy in 1994. I was thrilled when I put the record on to find all four tracks were killers. I still have that tape somewhere… in the meantime, hope you enjoy these tracks!

Humanoid – Stakker Humanoid (Inexcusable Version ‘92)

Phase IV – Deep Inside

Humanoid – Slam! (Future Shock Version ‘92)

Phase IV – Slowly Dropping Out
