STYLUS - BEATS FOR THE SOUL 96' B - Side

This is probably one of the most memorial nights I've ever had at a club. I remember spending the day with the family (as this was actually on Thanksgiving day). I had a terrible cold and my family was trying to convince me to stay in, but there was no way in hell I was going to miss a party at the Abyss. Thank god I went. I forgot about being sick about 2 seconds after working through the club doors.  The music was amazing and the place was packed and definitely up for a big night. 

Incredible music, vibe and people. Saved here for all to enjoy.

D-Xtreme and Stylus - The Abyss - (Thanksgroovin 1993) Part 1

Always looking for help with the tracklisting. Please share if you know any of these.


DJ Stylus - Live @ The Abyss (9.23.1993 - Private Party)

In the spirit of some old school sets recently posted from Kimball Collins, I got this set from Chris Fortier in 2008 and he said it was ok for me to post here.  The set was recorded some years ago, and originally going to be a few volumes of a series for free giveaway, but as far as I know, this is the only volume.  A ton great songs on here. Enjoy. 

Chris Fortier - The Story Of Me pt 1

Scott Riley isn't a name that most old schoolers will call out when you talk about your favorite Orlando DJs from back in the day.  However not to mention him in the history of the Orlando rave scene would be a major oversight. Scott was the resident DJ at Firestone on Thursday nights and dropped a ton of good tracks that filled the gaps until the big weekend events came up. Just check out these 2 sets to hear the quality of tunes Scott was playing.

Kimball Collins - Firestone Birthday Tape, Pt3 (1994)

Kimball Collins, the man that started Aahz a legendary club in Orlando, FL used to do all request birthday nights. This is a recording of one of those legendary nights. Enjoy

Kimball Collins - Birthday 1994 Tape 1 (Side A)

Once upon a time...

There was sleepy town in the middle of Florida. When Mickey Mouse went to bed the local kids would head downtown to dance all night to a new sound.  This was the early 1990's and the rave scene had just started to explode.  One of the best local clubs was THE EDGE. It hosted many epic events where the biggest dance acts and the best young djs would grace their sound system. DJ Icey started there and was the head promoter for the club. Acts including Rhythm Section, Chemical Brothers, 2 Bad Mice and All Boxed In played here.   The local rave crowd from around the state would come out by the thousands.

This amazing 14 HOUR set was posted by one of the visual performers - Laser Matt.  Click the download link to get the full 14 hours.  It was recorded in the main room from the second the club opened to late in the next day when the last person left.  See clubs didn't really close back then. They usually waited for the last person to leave. There is a reason why downtown Orlando closes at 2am now. This is it. We are guilty. Sorry kids.

For those that weren't there this music may sound old and strange. For those that were, it will surely inspire nostalgic memories of a time that will never be repeated.

Energy Rave 1 - The Edge (Orlando, FL)- Sept 4th, 1994

Electronic music aficionado since 1991.   DJ Since 94. Producer since  2001. Record Label Owner (Stellar Records), early 00’s.  Collector of classic 90’s DJ Sets.  Current purveyor of modern progressive breaks and deep house via Black Coffee dj mix series. 

Had the privilege of “being there” in halcyon days of the early US rave scene at ground zero - Orlando, FL.  Our  (at the time) small, Disney focused town become the launch pad for the American Rave scene via the amazing DJs and promoters that were ahead of their time led by Kimball Collins at Aahz  playing  upfront dance music (simply called house back then) that was generally only found across the Atlantic. Kimball and other local DJs mixed music expertly in our burgeoning underground clubs here to the late hours of the morning often bleeding into the next day igniting a decade long explosion of club music throughout the city.  If you were there, you know.   Aahz spawned a host of iconic clubs including Firestone (now Vanguard), The Edge, the Abyss, Barberella, Marz and on and on.  Huge one off raves like Trance Atlantic and Zen fast followed  setting the stage for todays EDC, bringing more global talent to our dancing city, laying down musical history that everyone that lived it will certainly “Rave” about for the rest of their lives. 

Being a part of that scene led me, like many others, to pursue my own path in creating electronic music.  A passion for DJing led to endless Orlando house parties in early 90s, before joining the Stellar Brand/team in DC providing a residency at Tracks nightclub and  opening up gigs at clubs throughout the DC, Northern Virginia and Maryland before returning to Orlando in 2004.  

Still listening, buying, spinning, sharing the music that moves me. It has been and always will be all about the music. 

I continue to post recent sets here on soundclould and I often steam live over at Mixcloud.com
