MARK DYNAMIX – TRIPLE J MIX UP (2001)

Edition 3 of “Raiding The Archives” and a special Christmas present for you all this week. This 1 1/2 hour special, recorded for and broadcast across Australia on Triple J’s “Mix Up” program, was a snapshot of the solid syncopated techno beats from UK, Italy, Spain and Germany that filtered through into my sets at Gas nightclub in Sydney, Tech events across Australia (especially Perth & Brisbane) and the Big Day Out Boiler Room sets across Australia. This was also a similar set to the one I played at the Love Parade in Berlin. Mixed live to air from vinyl, it was recorded in Triple J’s Ultimo studios overlooking the city on a Saturday night. This mix may have appeared previously on the interwebs via an FM rip torrent, but a clean capture without any of the Triple J sound FX or promo drops has never been released. So here it is straight from the digital DAT recorded on the night, without any of those annoying sound FX or mic breaks.
