DJ Mellinfunk & Oscar Da Grouch - Live At What?
It’s been 16 years to the day, but not the hour (it’s not that late yet), since this mixed tape was recorded. These mixes were recorded at the legendary Los Angeles after-hours What? on Friday, March 5th 1993. I’m not positive, but I believe the recordings are of DJ Trance (side a) and Oscar Da Grouch (side b). If anyone has a better memory than I do, please feel free to correct my assumptions. Regardless of the DJ’s there’s some great oldschool techno on this tape.

@ Fester - I’ve got another What? tape that has one of your mixes (I think!). I’ll shoot you an email before I post it up so you can confirm or deny.
@ Mojo - I don’t remember who I got these from for sure. It’s been years!
Mellinfunk makes sense. Thanks for confirming! (I haven’t forgotten about those records btw… email coming your way)

You bet! I’m glad people are enjoying them.
One of the What? tapes I’ll be posting has a mix with The Beatles - Revolution 9 on it. I’m really interested in figuring out who that was. I think Car & Driver - Clubcraft EP was in the same set.

This IS AMAZING…and brings back sooooo many memories. I have a bag of DJ tapes that I am so happy I did not get rid of. I will start sending out some of the mixes. I think I have some Doc Martin, Trance, RonDCore, Jon Bishop (from SD) and Keoki. Thank you again for this site!
