This is an untitled mix that was contributed by Josh McClintock. We believe it’s a 1991 mix by Barry Weaver, though we’re not 100% sure. It certainly has all of the characteristics of a Barry Weaver mix though — the dreamy intro, the train in the middle, lots of breakbeat, tight tight mixes, and an…

Mr. Buzz was a techno DJ from the early nineties. He was heavily inspired by Tony Largo in the late eighties and Doc Martin in the early nineties. He started a mixtape series called “Acid Hits” that he would pass around at parties from ’90 to ’93. These tapes were an awesome blend of early…

I liked the first three tapes in the Acid Junky mixtape series so much, I asked Josh McClintock if he’d mix a fourth especially for the site. I’m happy to share with you, 19 years after the original was recorded, a new addition to one of my favorite series of mixes. Josh McClintock – Acid…

When I asked Moonpup for some background on this tape, here’s what he had to say: I can tell you it was the party that helped put me on the map as a DJ in LA….. I played the morning set on the beach after a wild night of all the heavy hitters playing up…

Simfonix,
This was the first tape I ever got back in the days. Jason handed it to me when I was 17 at DMC Records on Melrose Ave when he was working there back in 93-94.
Trance’s absolute masterpiece mix!! I can’t beleive I found this again. Lost the tape. Some A-hole jacked it from me! =(
This is the most amazing moment on the internet I have ever had. Thank you so much for giving me my favorite mix back!!!!! =)

Melrose is pretty depressing these days. I remember hopping from Street Sounds (when it was upstairs with Frank C and R.A.W. working there) to DMC (with Ron D Core, Vitamin D, DJ Trance, etc..), not to mention Prime Cuts and Beat Non Stop, and spending an entire day just digging through records and chatting it up with others. Happy I could bring back some memories for you. All these mixes hold many for me so I know how you feel.

Wow I was just think of Frank C. He always had the great records waiting for me. Street Sounds was the best. I met so many different djs and producers before they made it big. Respect for this post.

I just found this site a couple days ago. This brings back all kinds of memories. I too used to go to all the shops on Melrose and the raves in L.A. and I didn’t even live in L.A. My homies and I would drive 3 hours from Fresno just to listen to DJ Trance and R.A.W. I have a lot of their mixtapes if you want to post them.
