User:Mjb/Mixtape collection

This is my mixtape collection, i.e. old cassettes I can't or won't submit to Discogs.

Most tapes don't have dates, so I may be off by a year on some of them.

Radio shows

1989

• Def Leppard - Hysteria: apparently I filled up side B with part of the WNCI Hot Mix show

1991

• DJ Michael Swaggerty - All Mixed Up - CD101 (WWCD-FM, Columbus, Ohio) mix show I taped off the air in Dec. 1991 or Jan. 1992

1992

• The Future Sound of London - FSOL Boxing Day show (three 60-minute tapes)

1998

• Radix Retro 003 - a recording of my set when I was a guest DJ on Internet radio station RadioValve, which streamed electronic music from 1997 to 2002.

DJs

1989

• Stan "The Butcher" Mastermix - Stan "The Brooklyn Butcha" Simmons was a coworker of mine who moonlighted as a house and hip-hop DJ for black social events around the Ohio State University campus. He introduced me to "real" house music, not the clubby "house" remixes of pop songs I was listening to at the time. I posted a super low-fi RealAudio (16 kbps AC3) rip of it on Hyperreal back in the mid-'90s, and it got a lot of positive feedback.

1992

• Vision (5 tapes) - a San Francisco Bay Area rave, possibly the one on Sep. 5th, but I think it was a recurring party so it could have been a different one. I think I was sworn to secrecy about there even being tapes from this party.

1993

• DJ ApplePie - untitled tape mixed 6/93
• Snuggles & Wisc - T.D.I. (Tandem Deck Insuwfe[...illegible]) - August '93 - Copy 15

• Trancemission (Marvin Lee's set)

My music

These are tapes I was making in 1993–1995 which may contain recordings of my own musical experiments, not sure what.

• Sample Tape - I think this is just some breakbeats I was going to try to sample
• unboxed TDK MA-X 90 labeled "Bits n pieces" (was: The Art of Noise - In Visible Silence) - no idea what is on this
• misc. ambient/trance + Lotus Chill Out 4.0 copy - A-side has been taped over and may include the original recording of "Threshold Part 1"

Notes

I also created the cover art for DJ Dazy - Ladybug Beats [1998], but I don't have a copy of this tape.

Growth was a house party in Columbus, Ohio.

Trancemission was a rave my friends and I threw in Dayton, Ohio. I made 5 tapes, loaned them out, and only got a couple of them back. If the others still exist, they are at a friend's house in Austin, Texas. If I ever get around to digitizing them, I'll try to get them back.
