since various people have recently suggested/offered to host rips of old sydney rave mix tapes, thought i might initiate it with this (though its a cd, not a tape)

Nik Fish - Universal Techno 1994 (http://sasha.punani.info/nik%20fish%20universal%20techno.rar)

NB: posting this isnt necessarily an endorsement of the quality (in terms of tracks- they're mostly happyhard) of this mix, its just that its the first one i've had handy. i'm going to do a few more over the next few weeks.

also wont be up for too long.

.rar?

Is that http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RAR ???

And will http://unrarx.sourceforge.net/ help?

How much smaller is .rar than the original mp3?

Downloading it now, just hope I can decode it on my Mac. And thanks a lot for the upload. I somehow aquired it years ago (someone left the disc at my place) though as you say, its more happy hard, and was never my thing. Still, it should be good for the memories.

PS. How's your new PC going? ;)

And pleased its a CD rip. There weren't too many from that era. The other that comes to mind is Crisis' Moove CD (typical rusty Crisis mixing job, but with ok-to-great tunes). I'm sure when I eventually get hold of my tape collection, I'll cringe at the quality!

Spectrum

31-Jan-06, 12:51am

Ok, that rar extractor worked!

Now for a track listing (and sh!t the Melbourne crew will cringe when they hear the "crap" we got down to! ;D )

Nik Fish - Universal Techno 1994

1. Get The Future Started - Alien Factory
2. ??? (Reminscent of "Outface' - Komakino, though lacked the magic)
---shit, is that your tape's wow and flutter or is that a less-than-stellar mix?--- :p
3. ???
4. 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9 (..or whatever it's called?!!)
5. ???
6. ???
7. ???
8. ??? (assuming my track markers are on track, I remember/like this one).
9. piano one???
10. ???
11. mornic cheesy circus number with sample "now is the time". This is the epitome of what's crap about happy hard.
12. ???
13. ???
14. ??? sample "Pump Up The Bass" (from that track, what's it called?!!!)
15. ??? trancey number
16. ???
17. ??? the end and the best track on the CD, whatever it is, also appears as track 7 on Adrenaline Volume 6 compilation.

Ok, I'm shit at this trainspotting game. Feel free to add/amend. ;D

Not as many "classics" or "tracks with integrity" (your mileage may vary) as I might have hoped, though it wasn't one of the classics in its day, if I recall.

Still, it was a good flashback and i look forward to what else this thread might yield.

Thanks mate. :thumb:

sorry, you need to download winrar (i think www.winrar.com to extract the mp3- it works just like a zip file. didnt want to risk uploading an mp3.

havent tried the tracklist yet.,

and yeah, cds in the mail today.

that track with the counting is dyewitness - battle for your mind, and he mixes a sample of scooter - move your ass into it.

erm, also has madame x - dreaming of a better world.

speakers arent working properly on my work computer so cant do much better than that atm.

midian

31-Jan-06, 09:19pm

I just had a quick listen, and this is what I came up with:

1. Alien Factory - Get The Future Started
2. ???
3. Scooter - Move Your Ass! (Alien Factory RMX)
4. Dyewitness - Battle For Your Mind
5. ???
6. ???
7. DJ Hooligan - Rave Nation
8. Madame X - Dreaming Of A Better World
9. Midas - Groove Control
10. It sounds like a remix of Bizarre Inc - Playing With Knives
11. Scott Brown vs Rab S - Now Is The Time
12. The Vampire - Teknostorm (not 100% sure about this - same riff but could have been remixed later into Teknostorm)
13. ???
14. Mikado - Feel The Bass (Rave The Bass RMX)
15. Can't remember the name, it's on the b-side of the Children of the Revolution RMX's
16. ???
17. Ultrasonic - Check your head
18. ???
19. ???

Yeah, sadly we've been enduring his evil wrath for years.

In one of his early, er, hits, after claiming, "Siberia... the place to be!" (or was that a more recent thing?), anyway he then goes on to rip Ultra Sonic with a, "Do you love your hardcore?!", 'cept his voice cracks like a pimply adolescent teenager right at that moment.

Woeful, yet funny. :crazy: :lol:

Haha, if you do some looking on discogs you'll find that Scooter are one of the most prolific, if not the most prolific dance band of all time. I think over 12 years they've released something like 15 albums, over 100 singles and have even had three different "best of" albums. They're the muts nuts in Germany and the eastern bloc, but only The Logical Song or whatever it was called made it big here.

They were actually quite good back in the mid 90's. "Move your Ass", "Back in the UK", "Hyper Hyper", "Endless Summer" and "Friends" were all huge anthems in Sydney in 95-96, they still are at raves actually when someone plays an old skool happy hard set.

The best thing Scooter were ever good at though were their B-Sides, they did so many good rave/trance tunes like "Waiting for Spring", "Cosmos", "Rhapsody in E" etc.

Haha, the funniest thing is the track that made them big in Germany, Hyper Hyper, was an Ultra Sonic rip off too - Mallorca Lee says Hyper Hyper in Annihilating Rhythm.

They also ripped off 'Bust a beat for this jam", 'Rezerection, just keep it moving' and probably every other line from Annihilating Rhythm too lol

I've also heard them rip off Human Resource (I'm bigger and bolder and rougher and tougher), the KLF (the K, the L, the F, the ology) and a myriad of others. They are dance music's ultimate recyclers :lol:

Yep, that's the one!!! :lol:

They (he is?) really are shit, and I mean really shit.

Yet, Scooter's had such a massive following. I guess when there's a world population of 6 billion, having less than 0.000001% of the population in your fan base is going to make you pretty popular.

"Hyper, hyper!!!" What a wally! ;D

Hey Midian, you're mates with (DJ) Matrix aren't you? I used to work with him for a few years, a few years back, and was wondering whether he's still in Sydney and/or on ITM?

ok, universal techno is gone, replaced with this one:

dj shade live @ scattered 6 (http://sasha.punani.info/Shade%20-%20Live%20at%20Scattered%206.rar)

starts a bit happyhardish with dyewitness, molella, and ultrasonic but moves quickly into anthem territory with jv project, a.o.k, agostini, the hard concert etc.

again, its not an old mix tape, but i'm sure you guys wont care.

midian- this was recorded from one of your parties- i hope i'm ok making it available? let me know if not and i'll remove it.

More than anything else I'm actually suprised you have a copy of that, so far as I knew only me, the guy who recorded it, joel (mixdup) and richard (buggin) had copies of the set.

Saying that though, I'm not fussed, I love that set personally. I've got every set from every Scattered and other parties we've done on CD, which we're going to have streaming live on the Scattered site when it's finished getting built, so it's only a matter of time before they're all on the web anyway ;)

sasha_p

03-Feb-06, 02:03pm

i got the scattered 6 sets from secondary fusion- matt speedfrogs site in 2001 i think. from memory they werent supposed to be available but one day the password protection was disabled, and i just happened to stumble across them. :ahoy:

only like shade's set though.

on that note though, i was talking to brett o'meara a few years ago and he said he has every single set from every prodigy party he did sitting on DAT- can you imagine getting your hands on them?? :drool:

dj shade live @ scattered 6 (http://sasha.punani.info/Shade%20-%20Live%20at%20Scattered%206.rar)

Cool, thanks Sahsa. :thumb:

What year was this? And where? Midian? Anyone? Considering my last Sydney rave - for want of better expression - was 1995, I'm thinking quite a few years after this? ;D

Yeah, first 20 mins in comical, happy hard territory, though a couple of memories. Shade's as slick with the slicing'n'dicing on the crossfader as always. Quite a bit of out-of-key-mixes, but hey, bit hard mixing strong melodies with limited intro/outros. Remember catching him regulalry late on a Sunday night at the Pavillion (circa 1995). Trashbags we were

What's the slower track straight after Casio Brothers' "Last Anthem"? It's got the "Gotta Save The World" female lyric. I remember it from George Vegas' "Let It Out 94" tape where it mixes quite well into Moby's "Next Is The E".

What's the next track "You Make Me Feel Good, Alright"? Bit of a Paul Holden anthem, that one.

Good bit of fun all up. And thanks again for hosting it, Sasha. The Melbourrne crew are probably hoping the wind doesn't change while they cringe! :lol: But hey, that was the tunage that defined a piece of Sydney's history. :)

Anyone got any techno/trance mixes of the pre-'96 era?

Spectrum

05-Feb-06, 12:58am

He also has a video with Prodigy 2-5 on it which i had but someone "borrowed" it from me and never returned.Its pretty good quality as well.

I hate 'borrowers'!!! X( :lol:

Any chance you can, er, borrow another copy?

I had snippets of 4 and 5 on the "Flashback 94" video, with a track on 5 in particular that I'd like to have ID'ed.

05-Feb-06, 01:03am

PS WinRAR is a far far far superior utility to WinZIP or any other compression program imo. Excellent choice :D

What's the story with this...

Looking at the Shade Scattered mix:
RAR (compressed) = 79.8MB
MP3 (extracted from RAR) = 80.5MB

I must be missing something (or not) here?

djneo

05-Feb-06, 01:55am

mp3 is already heavily compressed on the audio side, so data compression doesn't do a lot more.

RAR is still better than ZIP. Also, putting an mp3 in an archive prevents streaming, saving bandwidth for the host.

Spectrum

05-Feb-06, 03:45am

Ah, I see now. So nothing to do with smaller files in this instance. Cool.

phil/spectrum,

scattered 6 was put on during the 2000 olympics in a theatre in newtown- shade was just playing his usual anthem set. i think that was the last party of that type that i ever went to...,

and those tracks are a.o.k - gotta save the world and jv project - feel alright

you're getting them and a -lot- more ;)

Traveller
On A Journey
3 Decks
Speadfreak
..and few others not titled (really cool german techno/trance ie tracks from labels such as R&S Eye Q etc)

I also have a really good anthem mix (from late 93 early 94) with all the italio stuff called Sunrise

Cheers

Al

Yep, that's 'em. Great tracks, yet scattered mixing. Remember the Moove CD? Aside from the glaring copyright infringement (as in the milk brand), the second track in was a trainwreck! Most people would at least stop/rewind the DAT if the first mix was not up to er, scratch.

You don't happen to have Crisis' live tape from Prodigy 4 (1993), do you?

akashanelson

18-Feb-06, 02:25pm

Hey Spectrum,

One of the untitled ones may actually be live set's, but you never know as his planned mixes weren't so great either.

Anywho for all an all out there, bear with me, a mate is helping me setup a web page which should allow me to post a couple of mixes over the next week.

Also, I just managed to get Sugar Ray's Live in Berlin tape from 1993 last night so what out for that one it's a killer..... "camera's action, we're ready to go... click, click, click!!!!

Have a great weekend!!!!!!

Hi,

As this is my first post on the ITM site I thought I better make it a good one :) I've seen a few people asking for DJ Jade the liquid anthems, so here it is!

http://www.streamload.com/huggeee_bear

The whole hosting thing is a bit of a mystery to me but this seems to work. If you go to the link above then select part 1 or part 2 (each side of the origional tape) then click download and it *should* start downloading.

I've not got a lot of bandwith so it will not stay up for too long. Like most people my collection was at one stage brilliant and has slowly been "borrowed" to the point where there is not a lot left. I'll try to put up something else once I take this one down.

Thanks to everyone eles who has been posting mixes, it's been great to hear some of this stuff again. Really looking forward to some more :)

As far as I can tell a rough tracklisting for the liquid anthems would be

Part one
Ultracynic - nothing lasts forever
??? - ???
Marusha? - Magic Day
Love 4 Sale - Feel so right
??? - ???
Terrorize? - Just a feeling
??? - ???
??? - ???
Skin Up - Juicy Red Apple
??? - ??? (was an absolute classic though, I'm sure most people will know it)
??? - In the name of Love
??? - ???

Part 2
??? - ???
??? - Poision
??? - Somebody To Love
Manix? - Feel good?
??? - ???
Moby - Next is an E
Force Mass Motion - Panic
Force Mass Motion - Collision Course
??? - ??? (again absolutely EVERYONE played it! so you'll all know it)
Pragha Khan (spelling) - Injected with a poision
??? - ???
??? - ???
RAF - Why Can't we see

Sorry I can't name more of them.

A Tribute To Double Dipped

http://files.filefront.com/A_Tribute_To_Double_Dippedrar/;4780753;;/fileinfo.html

I'll leave both mixes up until next weekend and will replace them with two new ones below.

If anyone has any special requests, let me know and I'll see what I can do. I still have heaps of tapes to convert (Spectrum let me know if you want me to post any of the previous listed Crisis mixes?)

I have already converted the following that are ready for upload (only 2 @ a time though)... I let you guy's vote the order that they are posted!!!

>Nik Fish - Thundering Techno 1994 (yes it is different to Universal Techno done in the same year)
>Jumping Jack - Jack In The Box (probably my rave favourite from 94)
>Musiquarium - Edge vs Nik Fish
>House Sounds of Sydney 94 - Nik Fish (not really house more like Nu-NRG)
>Voodoo - Nik Fish (1995)
>Progress - Freestyle & Hype (the ultimate house anthem experience! - 95)
>Funeral In Berlin - Sugar Ray (1993)
>The Anthems - Mark Dynamix (1995)
>Live in Brisbane - Sasha (Nik's brother 1994)
>Sanctuary - Peter Tribe
>Clubbin' & Dubbin' - Assassin (House and Electro 1995)

Promo's
Breakbeat Anthems (UK Happy Hardcore 94)
Reconstructing The Moments of Terror (Rotterdam/Terror Trax 94)
Back To The Sh!tter Hole (Happy Hardcore Anthems 94)

Enjoy!!!!!

Nice one akashanelson!

Thanks for putting another one up for us.

Not that I want to sound greedy but if you get around to it one of the crisis mixes would be cool ;)

The tape of his that sticks in my mind the most was "traveller" I think it started with Intellect - Pick em up? It's another one of mine that was "borrowed" Which one was your favourite out of his mixes?

I'll try and replace the liquid anthems with a live set when I take it down. I've got a lot of UK stuff but unfortunately most of it has a nagging mc over the top. (Apologies to any mc's out there, it's just... well.... you know.)

Cheers!

19-Feb-06, 01:25pm

Hey Huggee,

Traveller is difinately his best (purely on track selection). If I get a second vote from Spectrum (or anyone else) then consider it done!!!

However, if you want to hear all that cool german stuffed mixed properly than Sugar Ray's - Funeral In Berlin, is probably your best bet!!!!

This mix is definately one of the better ones in my collection....

I'm frantically converting all of my tapes and trying to clean them up in wavelab... some are so old it's a) hard to id them (as the print has worn away) and b) removing the hissing and smoothing them out where the tapes have stretched and worn-out.

Cosmica,

Try Filefront, although it's a game sharing facility it still allows you to host any type(s) of file you like for free (and there is 1G limit). The only downfall is the upload function is a bit slow.

Trouble with a lot of mine is, I'd retape them with just the tracks I like, without all the chatter, 4192066.... give Rae a call.... subscribers only callers ... wait for it etc :)

Oh no!! Some of that banter is the best bits! The whole reason I'm excited about the Pure Flow 2 warm-up is because JT knocks the decks and then gets on the mic and blames Will and they're fighting over the mic and Jeffy just loses it laughing. It's awesome!!

Thanks for the ID akashanelson!

All of my old tapes went in a housefire :( so this is all very exciting for me :D

Only listened to on my laptop speakers, but that's one sick (as in unhealthy) tape with the left/right phasing all over the place! Stll, great to hear that tape resurected. Jade was quite a hit with all the girlfriends (and many of the boys too) at the time.

While my mixtapes are nowhere within reach, I have the entire night from Fantazia NYE '93 on CD, including the 3hr straight set by Paul Holden (as half the DJs failed to show due to the promoter rivalry and the demise of Tribal the same night). The tail end of Crisis' set with Tales Of Mystery, Go Ahead, and First Rebirth rolled into one is a moment and a half. Too bad there's a bleedin' MC over much of the rest of it.

Anyway, I'll look into getting some of it hosted over the next week or so...

So next weekends uploads will be....

As for the Hi-Shock stuff (I wish!!!) - remember Totem @ Blackmarket? If anyone has any of H-Shock's mixes come out and play!!!!!

At last a great mix of wicked classics that's not friggin' "anthems"! :thumb: :lol:

I've said it before, and I'll say it again, Melbourne had it sorted while Sydney ran off the rails with happy hard and only a handful of italo-piano-diva-nrg-house (the same 5 tracks that are played ad nauseum) to bring it back on track

Even at the time, it shitted me how much damn fine early techno/trance tracks got minimal play in Sydney. Instead, we raved to the equivalent of today's Radio Nova.

No Sven Vath, no Oliver Lieb, no substance, no nothing. X( ;D :lol:

Anyway...

6. Nexus 6 Tres Chic
7. Illuminatae - Tremora Del Terra

9. Paragliders - Paraglide

Great selection. Always a Illuminatae fan. Along with other tracks of theirs, such as, Tempestada / Brick House. mmmMM!!! :love:

Hey Dude,

I do have Jumping Jacks Eclipse tape but it's in shabby condition... it got play so many times in the car stereo which loved to eat/chew tapes... I'll try to clean it up - but quite frankly it's a bit frustrating to listen to at times due to the warping.

I don't want to start a whole Sydney vs Melbourne thing but there were many great DJ's around 92 & 93 pumping out great techno and trance

...and depending on the party

Jumping Jack & Nik Fish's energy trance sets were amazing - the Perception party was a perfect set by these boys!!!

22-Feb-06, 09:06pm

i agree, i particularly remember tribal parties would have back to back to back sets so you would have nik fish v j jack v abel etc doing a 2 hr set 2 records each mixing into eachother, the whole nights djing was awsome, as for the jumping jack tape see what you can do, i have the eclipse robin night that does the same thing, it kills me

I had two copies of it previously which I lost or hocked , I was well chuffed to find it as it still has some timeless golden tracks on it.
Hey Draic,

Is it the first Sugar Ray Sabotage Tape or the Double CD?

The tape was the far superior realease -It had all the dutch and german trance tracks that became popular many, many years later (although I also love Phil Smart/Sugar Ray offical realease in 96).

In any case both of these mixes were stolen with my copy of Sugar Rays first DJ's Downunder release so if you pop these up, I'm your new best friend (down boy!)!!!!!

OMG, you have outdone youreslf there mate!
Really enjoyed these two! Lots of early hardcore here, JB is dead, insomniac!
Were these short mixes? i got 'em both as 19;45 long?
around 45 mins each.

Draic

24-Feb-06, 07:05pm

It's the official cd and I have the first Dj's downunder conscience and the dj's downunder with Ray with the yellow glasses , includes Amphetamine etc as well as the Nik Fish Dj's Downunder release.

I never actually went to a sabotage , was keen for at least one but couldn't convince a mate to go.

I loved Tweekin tho and the thunk and vertigo parties.

I never made it to a love either but was keen for those too.

Would be awesome if the metro still had the Dendy and did allnighters.

Firstly, thank you for your kind efforts. :)

With regards to bitrate, please consider 128kbps to be absolute minimum, with 160 to 192 being prefered (and ultimately 320 if you have no space limits).

96kbps will sound woeful to many ears, especially around the highend of the cymbals.

On a sidenote...

May I take this thread to be for the purpose of distributing otherwise unobtainable material (eg. mix tapes and vintage radio broadcasts).

Is that DJ Downunder series still available commercially? Are those behind it a little too close to home? Are we risking infringemment by posting those?

What do you all think?

I think you make a really good point Spectrum. As much as I'd really like the Sabotage and DJ downunder stuff I personally do not think it would be right to post it.

As they were for sale commercially through just about any record store it should be taken that everything was licensed and it could cause problems by posting them.

The old radio and mix tapes on the other hand should (in theory) be fine to post. I base this on the idea that I consider it extremely unlikely that a mix tape sold under the counter at Central Station records (Sydney) was ever licensed.

Anyway, that's just my humble opponion.

Hi All,

I checked into this and both Reachin' (the record label that no longer exists) and shock the distributors no long handle these releases, however I too do not want to break any copy rights infringements... by the way the first sabotage(tape) was not licensed.

Moderators can you make a definative ruling on this one???

27-Feb-06, 12:45am

Here's my rough tracklisting...

Jack In The Box - Jumping Jack

1. Tierra del Fuego - Illuminatae
2. ???
3. ??? <-- Nice tune
4. ???
5. ??? <-- Another absolutely marvelous piece of work (around 20min mark if I'm still on track).
6. ??? <-- Happy breakbeat tune. Grew so sick of this sort of stuff at the time. It took another 5 years and a few bpms slower before I began to really dig breaks.
7. ??? <-- Another happy breakbeat thing. Who is this mix? Paul Holden or Fernandez? ;)
8. Here We Go Again - Sequential One
9. ??? <-- Damn, what was this one? Bit cheesy by today's standards!
10. ???
11. ??? <-- Wicked bassline in the break with the horror movie sounding voice.
12. The Dance Nation - Hardsequencer (Remix) - prefer the original "people of all nations, dancing together" to this one.
13. ???
14. I Need Your Love - Microwave Prince
15. ??? <-- Please, oh please, can someone refresh my memory on what this track is???
16. ??? <-- Tacky piece of sideshow alley hardcore.
17. Tres Chic - Nexus 6
18. ??? <-- Happy girly italo piano bouncy number with tacky "ecstasy love" lyric! :lol:

Would appreciate someone filling in a couple of the blanks.

Good rip too, obviously ex CD (with tracknames?), but 256kbps is sweet.

Hello peeps,

I thought i'd better get off my arse and upload something (some mid school :P) for the Melbourne contingent. This is side A of a mix by astroboy at a birthday party in either december 96 or early 97 (I can't remember, 1996 is almost 10 years ago!). It is one of the tapes that I still listen to today, if it's not old enough I'll take it down.

Here is the link

http://files.filefront.com/ab1996sideAmp3/;4812526;;/fileinfo.html

Tracks included in this side of the tape include Yo3 - scramble, Nexus 6 - Tres Chic, Odyssee - Pure Flow and others i can't name off the top of my head.

Part B is coming very shortly and is the better side of the tape!

serp

27-Feb-06, 01:19pm

Here is Part B, includes such tracks as CJ Bolland - The Prophet and Horsepower, a PVD track, a union jack track (red herring maybe?) and that track that goes doof doof doof :P

Better than the first side in my opinion, have a listen for yourself!

Great tape, terrible mixing... wait until I post "3 Decks", what was he thinking... particularly when he struggled with the concept of 2?? His "On a Journey", Tape is even funnier as I don't think he had worked out the beatmixing concept back in 92-93 (has he ever?)

And love that non-commercial radio announcer voice! 2SER - Sydney was the same. Who was the girl? i assume she had quite a presence in the scene at the time?

Also, what's the track - from part 2 - around the 10min mark?

On Reactivate 13 ( 1998 ), there's what sounds like a remix/remake/rework/sample of that tune called "No Fate" by Limited Growth that I adore. Same piano melody, though more phasey and delayed, with a slammin' rhythm section. Very nice.

This one is for the Sydney-siders....

So how many of you out there went to the Liquid parties??

Well Sam Jackson (the promoter of Liquid) was going to release a double cd back in 96 or 97 (bit hazy with the dates as the actual parties/club nights started in 94 through to 96). Originally it was going to be a double CD with Past & Present - Freestlye was going to do one disc and I think Shade was suppose to do the other.

Anyway due to licensing problems and the demise of the event itself the cd never came to fruition... but for you lucky buggers I actually have Freestyles final version on tape.

Mate, can you please keep this one up for a bit longer? I've been having all sorts of problems trying to get this one to d/l in a reasonable amount of time. Starts out fast, then drops to less than 2kb/sec (and blows out to 8hrs or so)...

There are sever waits now... I'll resume tomorrow.
Hi Spectrum,

The remove function from Filefront is down at the moment anyways (I still have all 7 of my uploads still available)... besides, they let you keep as much as you like as long as you only upload 1G at a time.

I'll have the Freestyle's Liquid mix up today as well!!!

Serp/Cosmica,

Goodwork lads keep them coming!!!!

[-------------->..................................................]
33.9 of 120MB (1.2KB/sec) - 21 hours, 17mins remaining.

I'm flying here! ;D

It's hit and miss. I think I grew used to the first d/l being quick as. I could restart, and get it faster, just it seems to reload from 0MB- not resume from 33.9MB etc. - for me.

The above is the same CD right just in different compression rates?? :?

TIP: Try zipping the files before uploading as it should increase the download speed. ;)

Yes, same CD different compression rates, thought i'd do a small file for those that can't be bothered waiting and a large file for the audiophiles.

I can't see how zipping will make it any faster. Putting an already compressed file (MP3) into a zip format would only decrease the size by about 0.1% . If you are having troubles with download speeds at filefront, try using a different download server, some of them i get 3 or 4k/sec others i get 60k/sec it really is just the luck of the draw!

cosmica: Thanks for the partial tracklisting.

So "No Fate" by Limited Growth must be a remake then. Same name, different artist (or alias).

I wish I could play this version for you. It's quite a special piece. Maybe you know someone with Reactivate 13?

You could rip it for us :)

Or I could go through my vinyl and see if i have reactivate 13, I think i stop buying those before they hit double figure releases.

As Filefront is a host for the gaming community I was making an assumption that mp3 file extensions may be given a low priority. Also to add to that, most gamers demos/cheats etc are in zip or rar files, so when zipping music files up they aren't as easily identified (my suggestion had nothing to do with the files size)..... but that's just my opinion.

Freestyle - Liquid (Unreleased CD) - 1996

http://files.filefront.com/Liquidrar/;4821782;;/fileinfo.html

Apologies to all... the quality of the above isn't the best as my copy was on tape and kept in my garage.... there's a bit of warping and water damage through it particularly around the 38min mark (there's a slight skip), other than that it's a very eclectic mix.

I'm getting in contact with simon (Freestyle) for a tracklisting - that's if you guy's don't work it out first!

OK,

We've been listening to some excellent stuff from Melbourne's 3RRR and this has got me wondering why no one has posted any of Sydney's 2SER shows yet??

So, to get the ball rolling here is Sugar Ray's show on 2SER "City Express" back in 1993.

http://files.filefront.com/2SER___City_Expressrar/;4825276;;/fileinfo.html

It's not mixed or any particular genre... just punters requests. :)

Hello again,

Because you all loved the astroboy brithday party tape so much I've stuck up another one. Side A is what I describe as some solid old skool acid techno and side B is more old skool rave stuff that we love :) Pretty nicely mixed both sides. Sorry if the quality is a bit shite in a few sections, the tape has had a caining over its lifetime.

Side A link -> http://files.filefront.com/abtape1sideAmp3/;4822275;;/fileinfo.html

Nik Fish - Voodoo (95-96)
http://files.filefront.com/Voodoorar/;4831014;;/fileinfo.html

NB: Moderators, please do not stress this tape was not licensed by Sublime/Voodoo, it was a demo tape that Nik released when Sublime first open in Pitt Street.

ENJOY!!!

P.S. This will probably be the last one from me for a while (lucky for you all I've been sick this week & bored sh!tless!)

After all of Akashanelson's efforts I'm feeling a bit guilty about not posting more ;)

So I though't I'd add a new element to the sydney v melbourne and anthems v nu energy thing.....

http://www.streamload.com/huggeee_bear

Same as it was for the liquid anthems, go to the link and download the "Dreamscape" mix. It's UK's DJ Ratty at an old Dreamscape party not sure what year as it was given to me on a very old mix tape. I'd guess about 92-93 Starts out a littlf "fluffy" but very quickly beccomes dark and dirty.

I couldn't even begin to ID the tracks, only one I can think of at the moment is Zero B - Lock up quite early on in the mix.

Hope you enjoy it!

Are we suppose to keep this Australian DJs or Internationals? I have some oldish International sets that were playing in Melbourne lying around somewhere :)

Right now I am going to download this Nik Fish - voodoo set, I hope it is something good because that guy pumps out horrid tunes, even in the old days :)

I also am glad I went out in Melbourne in the 90s, it really had a different underground flavour to it compared to other parts of Australia (and indeed the world! Although all we were trying to do was rip off the London scene! :P)

04-Mar-06, 07:56pm

I'd say Melbourne had the best of many.
The early UK rave stuff, Belgian balaeric, US housey stuff, and of course the Detroit sound - the early Kev Saunderson, Mills shows were nuts.
Then there's the strong eurpean influences bringing in early trance which Richie & co championed, Cosmic Baby and the like.
Then there's the harder elements from the US/UK and Europe....
... so many choices :)

WOW! That sure is one energetic post ArgentinaBeauty :)

I've got the FOD4 video but no way of getting it to anyone else :(

Most of the parties you mention we're after I stopped going so I'm not too sure about them. Although I did go to Smurf Village, it was rocking!

FreeLove @ Minto was the last party I ever went to. I had not been to one in absolutely ages and decided that as it was free i'd go and check it out.

I actually broke my arm at that party, it's a fairly funny story how it happened but I really need a few drinks to be able to embarras myself by telling it ;)

I hope you enjoy all the old mixes, get some of yours up if you can.

05-Mar-06, 11:31am

Ohh I forgot to mention in my previous post.. if you're tempted to dabble in the oldskool euphoria again and hear some rare dance/rave/italian/piano stuff from 1990-1995.. check out our website for details of our next party. I'm sure it'd be a very surprising experience if it's been a long while since last hearing all the stuff. My friends and I have started to do our own oldskool parties from time to time coz we got sick of waiting for other ones. lol. We haven't got too much hard stuff.. a bit of breakbeat SMD stuff.. all mostly Italian and Sydney rave. But check it out for an easy night of drinks and tunes.

www.stillbuggin.com

Next one is 1st of April @ Castles on Castlereagh (hiring own system tho coz theirs sucks)

Hope you can make it;)

Oh and an update on my tape situation.. a friend has agreed to rip my tapes for me coz I'm flat chat. So hopefully will have some stuff uploaded in a few weeks. If you can't wait.. head to our site to download some of our vinyl rips and even some of the sets from our rave we put on. There's only the last minute from my set! DOH! Didn't start recording until I'd practically finished. Oh well. Cya:)

Ive still got a few mixes from back in 91 - 93 from a friend who used to know the dj at the exchange in sydney on oxford st, as soon as I get it put on to disc, ill upload it for you all to download, its going to take a while cause the person who is going to do it is on holidays at the moment.
Again, thank so much for sharing!!! You have made my year!!!

great posts beauty,

just a little pre warning, those cds that were published in the Uk cannot be promoted for download on ITM. We try and keep things to unpublished mixes and old tapes preferably,

It will save me and the other mods the hassle of having to remove the links.

Thanks and enjoy the site.

OH MY GOD!!!! Flash back! Did anyone ever go to the Breakfast Club on Friday night at Tailors on Central at Surry Hills? I think they were chester's parties. They were awesome.... Everytime I walk past there on my way to work I think My god, I used to hand out with all the ravers out here getting ready for the weekend.... Bring back the breakfast club on Friday nights I say!! Make it an oldschool anthems night even if its once a month!!!!!!!Hey Beauty,

Welcome to the thread and I look forward to your posted mixes in the future....

By the way, The Breakfast Club was put on by Peter Tribe... I haven't seen him for a while since his Eden nights on Oxford St. It may have something to do with him being married with a kid now!!! Chester is still out and about playing most major Sydney raves....
