Daniel Bortz Boiler Room Munich x DLD mix

This track has an angry kick and some stupid noises. This is a short clip of a longer track.

"I'm a very poor archivist of my past and have kept zero recordings of myself DJing in the 1990s. Last year, out of the blue someone sent me a digital transfer of a tape of me DJing in 1991 which i put up on my Soundcloud. As a result of that another recording of me playing all those years ago was recently sent to me. The sender reckons it's a recording of me warming up for Derrick May at Pure in Edinburgh in early 1992, or at least that is what it says on his tape. It sounds more like 1991 to me but whatever, as I'm playing with Mr. May at Dollop's Detroit series in London this weekend it seemed a good fit to make it available. 

"We had Derrick play many, many times at Pure throughout the 1990s and I'd rate some of those performances by him in the top three best ever DJ sets I've ever heard, so I am very much looking forward to hearing where he is at in 2012. In the meantime, here's a side of a C90 cassette of me playing before him 20 years ago. It was a live recording to begin with and has probably been copied from cheap tape to cheap tape many times, so don't expect the fidelity to be particularly high. I'd only been mixing for a year or so at this point so it's a little rough on that front but i think it has a good energy. There are a couple of tracks in the middle of it that I have zero recollection of, but otherwise it contains a few tracks I still love and occasionally still play by Todd Terry, Joey Beltram, MK, and the much maligned Moby who made several seminal club tracks in the early 90s."

OMDD 021 - Return Of The Living Acid - Big Dipper / Twin Tub

1 Big Dipper (Twitched down version)
2 Twin Tub

SUPER STOOPID ALERT - This is the antithesis of cool. I used to play this in the early 90s (it's from 1992) pitched down to -8. I dug it out again a couple of years back but even at -8 it is too fast for me. As Optimo we ask to have +/-16 turntables on our rider and pitched down to minus 16 this took on a whole new lease of life. It's aptly named as it is a "scream if you want to go faster" kind of tune that only truly makes sense mixed in at the right time to an up for it crowd. It has caused shrieks of delight all round the world. On the other side is  "Twin Tub" from 1991 a homage to Larry Heard and Siouxsie Sioux and a UK Acid classic. Tony Boninsegna the man behind the tunes had a ton of aliases and released several early 90s classics on Luton's Chill label. I highly recommended checking out the Original Clique EPs if you get a chance. For this release, with Tony's blessing, the only change I have made is slow “Big Dipper" down by around 15bpm.
