Losing Control 1997

unreleased techno tape side, recorded in New Haven, CT in 1997

tracklist is a foggy memory, I tagged what artists I can remember.  First two tracks are Marco Carola from the limited 1000 Records label, followed by something tucked between both Claude Young remixes of Beltram's Start It Up.  Si Begg. I can only guess from there, except that records from Sweden, Surgeon and Jeff Mills are definitely involved.  The last two tracks are from the Subsounds/Future Frontier label and Claude Young.

mixtapes from the 90's, techno and a wee bit of house

I'd like to thank everyone who has listened to my sets from the bottom of my heart.  I have this channel solely to share the music I was and still am so passionate about with other likeminded people, and I sincerely hope that some of you have gotten some enjoyment from it.

I'd also like to thank profusely the DJs with whom I worked in the 90s, especially those together with whom I released some of these tapes, and especially the artists and producers who made this beautiful music.  I've tried to tracklist and credit them as much as possible.

Much love!
