Now back to the music…
This mixed tape by Steve Loria is from 1993 and was released at the same time as Chris Hyde’s – Milk & Cookies. The j-card designs for both Deep Space and Milk are my favorite of any mixed tapes. Thanks again to Chris for letting us know that Mike Messex did the artwork on these.

Hooray! Glad you worked everything out. Thanks for coming back with a great Steve Loria tape. Just what I needed!
This is one of my favorite deep house tapes. I went to a few of the deep space weekly things. Very good times.
One of the classics on here is “Dream Drums” by Lectroluv.
I will listen again, I know I know some of these, but the one I really want ID’ds is the one that goes “Just Let Yourself Go.”

this one doc tape had this one track on it that had a robot voice say……..I think I’ll play some jazz…then a funky sax kicked in with a wicked break beat. anyone have any idea of that tape, or the name of that track. thank you
I think that track is Black Machine “Jazz Machine”. I believe Doc uses the original album mix.
man that’s the song, but your right doc’s version is different. Search, but had no luck. Do you happen to know what tape that was on?
The track is on side A of the Earth Grooves mixtape, towards the end. You can find the album mix on this release:

The Track at 45:25 is by ”Energy Factor – All Right Now” aka Ralphi Rosario.

Hi colleagues, nice piece of writing and good arguments commented at this
place, I am in fact enjoying by these.
Not that I’m any expert, but sounds like a lot o Chicago here & a good measure of NY underground. Onside 2, 38min., is DJ Duke “Blow Your Whistle.”
