R.A.W. & DJ Trance – Wake Up L.A.!!!

wake-up-la-cover

R.A.W. and DJ Trance collaborated on a few mixed tapes with each other but none of them ever topped Wake Up L.A.!!!.

I’ve worn out several copies of this tape over the years and still enjoy listening to this day. I hope you enjoy it too.

Hi Luna,

Yeah, some old fliers would be great. I have a pretty decent collection of them myself, but there are definitely some gaps.

Thanks! :)

Howz it. I grew up in LA, and I got this web site from and add you places about 4 turntable madness 101. I had a copy of this tape, and hear it live at the shark club for insomniac’s 1 year anniversary. I just made it in the door before it sold out, and my brother could’nt get in. Thjat was a sick night, and a sick mix. If you have that classic red tape I would love a copy.
I have plenty of old stuff myself.
Also thanks for the power tools mix. I recorded that mix back in the day along with a few other from R.A.W., and trance.

High Simfonik!

Thanks for making this available. Your the man! This is by far my favorite R.A.W Mixtape ever. Does anyone have the playlist for this? Stellar breaks & fast cuts, Hardcore will never die! Having a total flashback from Insomniac & What? and FAMILY after hours right now. I miss the bass and hive of ravers bouncing in front of a wall of speakers in a total state of bliss.

One Love,
E

it said vol 2 because “raw/trance live at what” was vol 1
playlist i have NO idea on either side
both sides are TOTALLY different and thru the years (it’s been almost 20) sometimes i like RAWs side, sometimes i connect with my side etc.
the last 15 minutes of my side (dj trance side) is the part i reeeally like, one time i played it over and over thru tears…
RAWs whole side is just 10 years at least ahead of its time
the tape cover i made out of cutting out comic book parts, inspired by Ren & Stimpy
WTF FTW

Barry Weaver – Untitled (1991)

about 1 month ago - 17 comments

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…
