"You want the key?" 
"You're sure you wanna be free?"

22 track mix (vinyl) of mostly UK style Acid Techno (with dark undertones) from all the usual labels - Smitten, Stay up Forever, Cluster, Routemaster etc and a German invasion for the first few tunes. Lightly garnished with a few well loved classics amongst some of the more underrated tunes and more importantly (depending on taste of course) no vocal sing-along "hits". Trainspotters will recognize the opening tune as a nod to one of Clarkee's (slower) acid sets and the last tune from a certain Mastervibe Skelter set so might be worth a listen if only for that reason alone. 

Thanks in advance to anyone who takes the time to check it out, always appreciate it.

Core25 - 90's Acid Techno Mix

... musique quand tu nous tient...je mix depuis une dizaine d'années, surtout en free est j'ai commencer par le hardcore,étant avec un sound system a l'époque, puis la composition est venus bien après, aimant tout style de techno,sa va de soit car avoir une culture musical élargie permet aussi de construire est essayer de réinventer un choix musical.....  sur ceux voila tout.... on top non stop  free people and free space....  23

Mixes are all vinyl only. Setup is a pair of turntables and basic no frills mixer... archaic certainly but I like to keep things simple.

Been into Hardcore Techno/Gabber since '97 after getting a DJ Producer Dreamscape 23 tape and Bass Generator Hardcore Heaven Ravers Choice. Same year found a Thunderdome 1 -5 Megamix CD and discovered the Mokum series which is where my love for harder music began.

A few years later after listening to all the usual suspects found on any Technodrome lineup and events like Deathrow Techno, North etc, I started buying the tunes. Always favoured the acid laced Clarkee sets and Trance infused Dolphin ones but love all of them including "the Mu... the Mu... the Music Maker" for more 'outthere' Industrial/Speedcore stuff. Still have the same passion and level of enjoyment digging for tunes especially unsolved ID's and forgotten/hidden gems.

Subsequent years leaning towards Hard Acid & Acidcore for the more insanity inducing extreme 303's and generally darker atmosphere from the likes of Lasse Steen, Somatic Responses, Zekt, Agro, Drop Bass Network, Direct Drive, Labworks and the swamp-like-grungy acid on Cologne's DJ.Ungle Fever.
A soft spot for Mark EG, M-Zone & Vortex Hard Trance. Also the UK mish-mash Acid Trance/Hard-Nrg/Hard House sound... VCF, Choci's Chewns, Bosca Beats, Public House, Eve/Telica etc, Acid Techno - tend to stick to the 90's stuff I grew up with and Classic Trancecore - so a bit of everything really.

Much greater appreciation now for Techno/Trance & Acid spun by the likes of Aggressor, Warlock, Aztek, Colin Faver, Colin Dale, Mach 1, Trevor Rockcliffe, Daz Saund and Ribbz of course. I enjoy listening to these sets a lot more now that I'm older than I did the first time around and it opens up a whole new world of tunes to hunt down.
