Laneway Mix Series Vol. 16

'Dreaming Daisies' retrospective/tribute show recorded live on the Three D radio show 'Raw Like Sushi, hosted by Sam Walker and soundtracked by myself on 3rd August 2022. 
Dreaming Daises was an Adelaide late night radio show that ran from 1990-1999, hosted by Georgie Knight with her unique and ethereal tones..... The show essentially soundtracked and educated a generation of dance music lovers in Adelaide, with the positive influence still resonating today... 
This show, mixed and recorded live in the studio, captures the sound of the show and in particular the 92-94 time when the Dutch and Detroit sounds fused with the unique techno transmitted from Adelaide. Hopefully this show either stirs some memories or provides some insights for those unfamiliar with the show or the sounds of the time.... Enjoy :)

Deep House Mix 2004

Dreaming Daises was a Tues night radio show that formed an integral part of the early 90s Adelaide Dance music scene.
Recorded straight off radio onto the trusty TDK D90, this edition is a DJ 2120 (Claude Young) special.
Claude was a welcome and regular visitor to Adelaide, often for lengthier stays with techno and house sets punctuated by the very latest underground music played in his typically dynamic style.

Dreaming Daisies DJ 2120 Special 10th Nov 1992 Pt 1

Part 2 of a DJ 2120 (Claude Young) special on Dreaming Daisies, early 90s Adelaide Techno and House radio show.

For those who know....

Dreaming Daisies DJ 2120 Special 10th Nov 1992 Pt 2

Another archive recording of Dreaming Daisies, early Adelaide 90's radio show. I'm not entirely sure of the date for this one, pretty sure it's very early 1993 based on the tracks (almost all 1992 but a couple I think came out in 93). 
This episode typifies Dreaming Daisies - a mix of amazing local and Australian talent as well as Detroit and European techno.

Dreaming Daisies Early 1993 Part 1

Part 2 of the Richie Hawtin special on Dreaming Daisies, seminal early 90s techno/house radio show from Adelaide, Australia. If you're looking for the actual Hawtin interview check out Pt 1 on my soundcloud tracks. Part 2 is the second half of the show and includes an interview with the VIbe Tribe enviro-friendly electronic party crew with details of upcoming parties at the time.
Captures the music and vibrancy of the scene at the time...

Dreaming Daisies Richie Hawtin Special Pt 2

Dreaming Daisies Adelaide radio show hosted by Georgie Knight. This one is from early May 1992. Much more of a Ravey tip than many of the shows around this time which were more Detroit influenced. Club update around 30 mins in shows just how much was happening at the time with clubs/nights such as Metro, Cargo, Le Rox, The Astor, Reactor and the Old Lion all active. 
Enjoy the flashback people....

Dreaming Daisies May 1992

Plus 8 Records for me was one of the most influential early techno labels with countless classics and a really varied output. Along with the usual early Detroit classics the Plus 8 label had a big influence on the techno scene in the early 90's in my home town of Adelaide, with Richie Hawtin playing blinding sets on more than one occasion.
This mix is a one take (be gentle, it could certainly be much tighter in many places...), all vinyl, only first pressings mix of some of the pivotal (and some more obscure)releases on the label. Artists include Kenny Larkin, Speedy J, FUSE, Vroom, VapourSpace and many more...

Plus 8 Records The Early Years - All Vinyl Tribute Mix

Blast from the past spontaneous old school rave/techno mix..... 100% Vinyl and the obligatory switch off the Technics slow down transition..... Unsurprisingly it ended up predominantly R&S Records in the mix. Such a defining label of this sound and still a sentimental favourite
I rarely play these records these days but it's always smile inducing when I do....
Enjoy

F Communications Vinyl Tribute Mix Vol 3 - Ambient Downtempo

Here's a mix I did for my brother-in-law for his office space. The 313 in the title is not a reference to Detroit (respect and much love tho) but the street address of the office in Adelaide. 
Collection of disco edits (shouts to LNTG!), Nu Jazz and some deeper house. Music I love but I certainly don't have the knowledge here, so basically no idea what I'm doing, haha!
As always, this is 100% vinyl and one take.....
