This is the first in a series recreating mixtapes from the late 90s/early 2000s.  Trying to stay as true to the originals as possible.  The goal is just to improve sound quality and preserve these mixes in a format other than a recording of a cassette :)

I'm from NJ so the rest of this series will be NY/NJ DJs but this tape came to me through my now-wife, by way of San Francisco.  Mars and Mystre were huge in the Bay Area.  This was the first mix I heard of theirs and after listening to the other mixes they released, consider it the best.  Uplifting, dark, happy & sad all packed into an hour and a half mix.  To me this defines the "cybertrance" movement of that time.

I don't know how many times I was stuck in the Lincoln Tunnel (in or out) listening to this mix but it was always a hit amongst my passengers.
