oldskool electro/techno/breaks

So here they are, some of the early demo trax that I sent to Dynamix II Records (also Rephlex Records later in 93) circa 91/92. These were compiled from cassette tapes that were recently discovered in my sister's house (she keeps everything) and would have been recorded from original cassettes I would have made back in the day, hence the low fi quality. Some of these trax were eventually released as is or with some alterations, others never saw the light of day. For example Robotechno, the first track I recorded in my home studio set up, originally had a vocoder rap using my Roland VP330, but I haven't managed to locate that version unfortunately.
I have picked out what I consider the better or most relevant trax here and left the rest to time... There was another cassette full of more music circa 92/93+ that I have yet to find. If it turns up I will upload the best of those too. These trax are as they appeared on the cassettes and I haven't altered them in any way whatsoever.

MartianMan Part 2 20.10.17 Onlyoldskool.com

Available for download here is an unofficial remix I have done of one of my all-time favourite tunes from the start of the 90s . This track totally takes me back to the early rave /  free party scene in the UK when I had just started DJing and was still going to school !! Mental Cube being Future Sound of London under a different name , this was released around the same time as  Papua New Guinea , and is equally as important a record in my opinion ! Staying true to the original and just boosting it up to make it suitable for today's dancefloor , I hope you like what you hear and thanks for listening :)
