Swarm was the first record released by Mike Knapp, under the name Xpando, in 1993. Mike released a number of great releases throughout the 90’s, under various aliases, often collaborating with Jason Blakemore (aka DJ Trance) and Eric Davenport on his Bassex Records label.

Eli Star – Omega

I’ve had quite a number of requests for this Eli Star mixtape. It’s called Omega, it was released in 1994, and it’s great! Some mixes are a joy to listen to because of the nostalgia associated with them, and some mixes still just sound great, this mix is in the latter group. I love that Eli tended to play a lot of good music that other DJ’s didn’t.

Destructo vs. Mar Co – Raindance

destructo-mar-co-raindance

Raindance was released in (I believe) 1992, by Los Angeles DJ/Promoter Destructo and Mar Co on Destructo Records. The a-side mix is labeled as “Destruction Mix”, but the run out is etched “Techno Mix”. It’s all about the Tribal Mix on this record though, one of the better old school techno tracks to come out of Los Angeles. (Correction: The Destruction Mix is in fact my preferred mix. That break is one of my favorites)

“There Are Dreams And There Is Escape”, by James “Jack Rabbit” Martin, was released in 1988 on the Chicago label Yoton. It’s an incredibly rare and sought after acid house record, and ranked 60 on the Top 100 list of the most expensive records sold on Discogs. My copy isn’t for sale.
