I was able to go through all my old mixtapes and I removed and trashed all the outer plastic cases; now I have three shoeboxes full of tapes to someday go digital with…picked one out at random and here it is. No markings other than March 13, 1994. I’ll work on a set list but there are several I’m not likely going to remember…perhaps you can help?
The first several sets were chill/ambient and then led into more techno/dance stuff later on in the show.
Enjoy!
Kraftwerk – Ralf & Florian

Aphex Twin – SAW2
Delerium – Stone Tower

Acrid Abeyance – Exposure Track
Here was a radio show that I did, likely late night, that was more experimental/ambient. In the spirit of the 30m series, here is 30+ minutes of ambient electronics. Not sure of the exact date but I know it is 1994.
Enjoy!
Tracklist:
- Drexciya – Bubble Metropolis (intro) (Underground Resistance, Detroit)
- Velocette – Untitled (Reflective, San Francisco)
- Aphex Twin – Windowsill (Warp, UK)
- Delerium – Inside the Chamber (Dossier, Germany)
- Klinik – Suffer In Silence (Antler Subway, Belgium)
- John Pfeiffer – Electronomusic (Drops / Moments) (RCA Victrola, USA)
- Locust – Lust (R&S, Belgium)
Dubbing down some old mix-tapes and pulled out this dandy. Unlabelled cassette, likely mid/late 1993. This installment of the 30m series brings nearly 30 minutes of Acid. I was able to ID all but one track, which I will figure out soon and update this post.
Enjoy!
Tracklist:
- Vapourspace – Gravitational Arch of 10 (Plus8, Detroit)
- Country & Western (Jocham Paap) – Reincarnation (SVR International, Italy)
- Galaxy 2 Galaxy – Astral Apache (Underground Resistance, Detroit)
- Integrated Circuits – Patience (Labworks Germany)
- ???
- Lenny D vs DJ Edge – Drive (Edge Records, UK)
I’ve always liked a little variety in my electronic music, as you can see from the last set of posts of mix tapes back in the Radio Station / Club DJ daze. This was a good mix of hardcore, gabber and, of course, lots of acid mixed in to spice things up a bit! I love acid! This is a show that ended up as part 2 of a 3 part series–a sci-fi based trip to the ancient land of Electricika. This was the Escape part of that trip–get the hell away from that place! 
Anyhow, recorded late in the night live, on air, at KUCB radio in Boulder, January 9, 1994. Enjoy! These aren’t for the faint at heart!

Wow, I’m impressed with myself as I have full documentation on this cassette tape. This was on my late night radio show doing 90 minutes of Trip Hop and Chill Out music. Note that I used the term “Trip Hop” before I actually heard the common genre term; so this is a bit different–downtempo beats and tripped out was my simple definition! 
At the time I was playing a lot of ‘Mo Wax and other tunes on this cassette at the clubs because that was my alternative for top-40 hip-hop which is what many club go-ers wanted to hear. This cassette has a bunch of classic tracks!

This was a great techno/industrial tape; nice and fast/hard trance and acid. I used to love to play at high bpms to get the feet shufflin and bootys movin! One side was Sept 6, 1993. The other show is unknown (not so good labelling on my part!), I’d guess mid 93. It definitely was a different timeframe because I was using a different brand of cassette; which I bought in packs of 10 or 20 from my friend, Hardcore!…
I did two specialty shows at this time; one was Sunday from 1-7 before my gig at the club from 9-2am (that was a long work day! ). THe show was “Techno”–mostly techno and industrial. I also did a “Music of our formative years” show; basically 80′s electronics, goth and new wave…today’s oldie station! That was 3 hours a week show…

Here is a tape I found with absolutely no label (I was good at not labeling tapes, but I did have track names from an old playlist I found). The first part of the set is pretty hardcore with some acid thrown in. The second set ends up getting deep in acid while remaining pretty hard edged. I am dating this as Late 1993 because of some of the records were purchased on my Europe trip that summer, so it had to be after that.
