Description: Five rough ideas recorded live on hardware. Lo-fi, raw, and unpolished sketches for future AFK sets.

This is my take on early 90s rave/house. Tracks from 1988 - 1996 (with the exception of a Shadow Acid track from last year).

I’m pretty late to 90s rave appreciation. Born in '88 (33 now) and been a DJ since 2006. Got into it just last year, 2020. Got me through the first of a few lockdowns and I can't seem to shift back to what I listened to before. This stuff is still shifting souls as far as I'm concerned.

Making this mix has given me a lot of hope. Itching to share these sounds behind the decks.

Enjoy and much love,
ELA (chris)
