this used to be a favorite of mine way back in the day... it had joy division, aphex, beaumont hannat, mu-ziq, kosmik kommando, nin, bauhaus.

 

the dj is DJ Thee-o. he's mostly known for more techno rave mixes. This is the only mix of his that i know of that isn't techno ravey.

 

woah, this is a great mix! thanks

Thanks alot for all these links. I was born shortly before the 90ies so I missed most of the stuff. It's amazing music.

Nice bump. How in fuck's name am I going to listen to all this music..

I thought the same thing. This genre is huge... it will take a long time... but full of ecstasy and rave and funk and fun

Dunno if he's been mentioned at all in this thread, but Dieselboy put out some banging tapes in the mid 90s. His soundcloud is awesome.

this site is amazing.

Amazing indeed. There was a decent BBC article on it from a short while back: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/magazine-15625457

Prelude to Rave by Kevin Saunderson. google it and you'll find it. if i had two more hands it'd get four thumbs up. like 1986/87ish

I'm always happy to see this thread pop up again.

Hey, does anyone have a copy of Thee-O's Komakino they could upload or make available? All of the links I can find for it are either dead or broken, and I'm usually good at finding stuff like that...

Also, if anyone's been burning through these mixes, let me know if you come across any with a darker, or harder vibe...jefferoo's suggestion of Technical Itch has been a great one, but if anyone knows of any other artists/mixes, that'd be great!

this is a fucking brilliant mix. DJ Randall @ The Edge 1993. i loves a bit of DJ Randall...

For anyone who's interested here's my Oldskool Jungle / Hardcore blog where you can download high quality 320kbps mixes that were ripped from the original tapes. These are mostly live DJ mixes from raves such as Dreamscape, Dance Planet, Jungle Fever, Desert Storm, AWOL etc. I update the blog periodically so keep an eye out.

@ BCM - Yeah love that Randall mix. '93 for me has got to be the best year for Jungle / DnB.

Hay y'all.

I have a mixtape that I want to transfer to MP3 because I cant find it online anywhere.

Anyone have a good suggestion of the best method of transferring from tape to MP3 with a 30 minute track?

I have an old version of protools on an old computer, but it can be unreliable when recording for long stretches.

I have a mac, btw!

This tape needs to be shared with the world tho.

Audacity is free and most people love it. On my mac I use Sound Studio Pro, much cleaner and useful interface, easier to use with various keyboard commands. of course, i've been converting my vinyl for years now, so all the power user short cuts make a difference me. In term of sound quality audacity is good, just add the LAME encoder and you are set. Use V0 for the mp3 output. id keep the WAV file to so you can pop it onto a CD for roadtrips.

FUCK!!!

Loks like www.goldenerajungle.com may be shut down.

I am disappoint.

Ok y'all.

I took the time to transfer one of my favorite rave mix tapes that is literally impossible to find (I've done extensive Google searches for this, over the years and have literally found zero results... other than things posted by me trying to find it).

I've attached both sides of it in a zip file, for you to download.

Side B is definitely my favorite, so don't feel like you have to listen to them in order.

The style is Acid / Techno / Happy Hardcore .

Basically, if you never got a chance to go to a rave (arguably, when they were at their peak), listening to this is kinda the closest to what that whole thing was like.

I have no other info about the tape or DJ. I think it was recorded somewhere around 95-96? Possibly in Chicago.

Kill it.

DJ Toni - Afterland.zipFetching info...

thanks Jefferroo, sadly the sound is really bad, like a lot of other mixes from that time. The tracks are really good. I always wonder if stuff like this can be remastered and made to sound better, like they do to so much old music is these days.

wow how sad, been a member of gej for as long as I can remember. any idea why they shutdown? any idea if someone archived everything?

Yeah. It's a mix tape. Sound can only be so good. It's also probably from a dub of a dub. The EQ is a bit funky, as a result. Who knows, it may have been recorded live at a party.

But hey, I think it's part of the charm of mix tapes to sound like tapes.

I did a straight transfer without any EQ tweaks. It's also compressed, in order to upload here as one file. I bet I could re-transfer it with some lower mids and bump the bass a bit, but that's about all I'm willing to do. Anything more would require some serious effort that I feel isn't really worth it.

It's a great mix.

I love that these tapes are all real time capsules that capture some real energy from the era.

I really love this shit, so much.

I'd thought about getting ahold of some of my ex girlfriend's Chicago house mix tapes, if she still has em.

I was never that big into house, but I bet I'd really get into hearing some of that stuff after 16 or 17 years now! Fuck

you're right. it doesn't sound that bad. thanks for sharing it!
