Having built up a fairly substantial collection of his tunes over the years, in 2019 I finally got round to recording a 3 hour mix of tunes linked to him.

Welcome to show #19 in my Techno Apocalypse series! Aired on FNOOB Radio - 18th May 2025.
My guest this month is AR3V. Big thanks to AR3V you Dave for providing a storming hard guest mix for the second hour :)

First hour is myself, and this month I've gone for my usual bouncy but sometimes dark style and at a slightly slower pace than usual for the Apocalypse.

With 2 hours of storming Hard Techno, both these sets will not disappoint :)

We really hope you enjoy :)
Big love...

I've been doing these mixes since early 2000 and they feature whatever the heck I'm into atm but usually it's some sort of current Techno, Acid Techno, Progressive House, Hard Trance OR retrospectives about various labels and artists from the 90s.

AssortedTrance.com is the web site were I've been publishing these mixes since the start (in the beginning as DJ Irish) but who visits web sites these days?
