It was 1993. You were there. sweating in a mid-atlantic warehouse, it was dark, crowded, throbbing, and new. The internet was just starting up. DJs were mysterious; the tracks they played invoked euphoria. You danced near the subs so you could embody every bass hit.

It is 2024. You are here. Whether you were there or not for the decades before, rave transcends, evolves, thrives. 

Our prompt for this mix series is simple: we ask DJs for their unique interpretation of early rave based on memory or fantasy.

Hello, fellow music adventurers! Welcome to the unpredictable world of Captain Random. I'm not your typical music producer—I'm a gamer at heart who has recently rekindled an old flame for music production.

My compositions are a wild ride through an array of genres, a reflection of my passion for experimentation. Inspired by gaming's immersive universes, I venture into a sonic playground where anything that strikes my imagination comes to life.

As my skills grow, my ambition soars. My vision extends beyond the borders of my personal journey.
