wow ! What is this "just a special sound" tune?

Set! NRG!!!! I was there... Cant remember any of it but was there for sure...

Continuing my hardcore revival, I've made a return to the Rave Kid series... such is my enthusiasm for this music right now that I've smashed out four new volumes already, and feel like I've got more in the tank. Been sat on Part 7 for a few weeks, and must confess I've been enjoying it massively: a selection drifting somewhere between my favourite Ratty, Sy & Slipmatt tapes with a few personals that I've been keeping back. So much creativity and energy packed into these old tunes, love it.

DJ Lime - Euphoria - 6th June 1992

Here we are again, another Halloween mix, but this is a little different. Originating from late '91 to mid '92, when I first started my DJing career in Sydney. We have another 30 years Mix, which is why it took me a bit longer than usual to put this together. Original tunes from Ed Rush and DJ Trace, a Dath Vader (Power of the Darkside) tune, that I first heard Top Buzz play in 92, and the eerie Accelerator is Stuck mix that I first heard on an early Grooverider tape back in the day (R.I.P. Shaun Chatfield, who introduced me to it) and finally MASSIVE respect to the recently fallen Stu Allan (AKA 150 Voltz) for the amazing Chuckie tune. R.I.P legend.

Halloween 2022 - '92 Mix  - Part 1 - Rikochet

Last mix of the year is the most theoretically* expensive mix that I can make from my vinyl collection, according to Discogs prices determined on 24/11/2022: 30 tracks of the most luxurious/overpriced jungle imaginable, just in time for the festive season. Photek, Tango, Koda, Chaos & Julia Set, Trace, more Photek, Skanna, Bukem, Crystl... the gang's all here. 

*record and sleeve condition notwithstanding. A few of them came to me second hand, feature heavy cue-burn/stickering, plus years of toddler/cat abuse has wrecked many of the sleeves ... besides, I'd never try to sell them, they mean way too much to me :) 

Big shout to DJ Mafs @mafsone for casually quoting the value of one of his outstanding recent mixes and planting the idea... I take 'cogs prices with a punch of salt, frankly it's a ludicrous scene that I want no part of, but the concept of using value to dictate the selection seemed like fun. Having catalogued my collection a few years ago, after skimming a few pages of the priciest cuts I decided this could be the makings of quite a decent mix. I realise folks out there like Law, Dokta Venom, X Nation, djExtreme and so on could probably knock out a mix of equal value with a dozen tunes, but it is what it is. Might have to do a sub-155bpm follow-up sometime, a techno version (if you think jungle prices are crazy check out Warp's Artificial Intelligence 1 LP), or possibly The Cheap Mix ... could be interesting ... but I'm kicking all of that into the long grass for now. 2023's a new year.
