From an old C90 tape just labelled Hardcore Dance Mix 1992... Think a friend bought it in London around 1993, brought it into school and we all shared and copied it. Took 20 years and a hopeful google of the tracks I knew to eventually find a post on Rolldabeats that narrowed down the source to a Grooverider studio set for Kaos and the full tracklisting... Will always return to this mix - such a wicked selection and flow.
