Special thanks to Tef of CPU101 for hooking this one up.
Us & Them, recorded in 1992 under the name Hidden Threat Productions, was the first mixed tape from DJ Thee-O and The Kandyman.
I caught up with Thee-O a couple of weeks ago and he was kind enough to lend us pretty much the entire Biohazard catalog and some other goodies you won’t want to miss – so stay tuned! If you haven’t heard him play in a while you should check out this mix by Thee-O and Barry Weaver, recorded at Monday Night Social on Monday March 16th, 2009 at Nacional in Hollywood.
I was able to ID all but 3 of the tracks on the Thee-O side, but drew a blank with most of The Kandyman’s side. If you’re able to fill in any blanks please post them in the comments.

Wow. I haven’t heard this mix tape in 17 years. Crazy. Thanks for posting this. Can’t wait to hear some of the others. :)
OMFG!!!!!
I’ve been looking for this for years!!!! We were friends with the Kandyman and he gave us a copy right around the time of Under the Kandyground(at La Casa), but the tape got lost. I messaged Thee-o but he was never able to find it for me. Thank you so much for this!!!!!!!!!
Now all I need is that elusive Aldo Bender Happy Wednesdays tape and my replacement of all my old tapes is complete. I will help with IDs over the next few days. Thanks again. Made my day.
BTW, thanks to Thee-o for trying. This tape rocks.
The song on Thee-o’s side before Messiah is this:
Plutone – Final Exit
Here’s some of the tracks on the Kandyman side:
Atomic Brain
Second Wave, The – Let The Groove Move
909 AD – Right Here, Right Now
DJ Splix – Parsley
I’m not including the ones I know you know like Energy Flash, etc…
Yeah Mojo. Sorry man. I am glad that he was able to aquire this tape from Tef.
