A Guy Called Gerald mixed by Mantra

Tracklist below....
Going right back to 1992-1993 with a selection inspired by old C90 tapes filled with London based pirate radio recordings from Pulse FM, Impact FM, Kool and Weekend Rush etc. 
DJs like Warlock, Skie, Transit and Jinx amongst others… 
A few of those original tapes got chewed up by my Walkman at the time and sadly there was no fix for that, just game over. 
Nice to go back and recreate the style of the sets I was listening to back then (unfortunately minus the chat and adverts which added a lot of atmospherics).

Not my usual off the cuff Sunday Service. For part 10 this one is a slightly more orchestrated mix from my 1992 selection. I haven't added many tunes to my original 92 stash over the years so this is probably 90% authentic to what I was listening too in 92. 

Total mix value in Discogs (median) = £425 lol

Mixed in the Temporary Structure at the bottom of the garden on 1210s. One for the Friday night Camden Palace crew back in the day :)

August 1994

Greg Packer - Eternity Magazine Breaking New Talent Mix - August 1994

Ayo. Thursday upload to keep you on your toes. Been itching to do another 1992 AOARK edition for a long while, so here it is; an unofficial follow-up to Part II (https://on.soundcloud.com/KJfgY). A couple of early 93ers may have snuck in, but for the most part these gems fully represent of one of the most exciting and creative years in breakbeat history. Expect more of this vibe as we head into autumn - AOARK 15 and Hardcore Love Part 2 (finally!) are both very '92-centric. 

Enjoy <3
