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
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

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.

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.
