Do you have paypal. I would like to donate some cash to keep your site going. I had been searching for this tape since 1995. The first date me and my wife went on we spent listening to this tape in my crappy little apartment in east hollywood till 5am. We were both broke and in school at the time. It was a fond memory listening to this talking and eating chinese food. It was the night we had our first kiss. The rest is history. Thank you so much.

Hey Proqxis!
I think we can help each other out. I can hook you up with Omega if you can give me a copy of Planitia Chryse / De-Kaying. Mine got eaten in a cassette deck. Head over to my website and email me a link and I will add Omega to my page of Eli tapes.

Eli will always be one of the first Legendary underground LA DJs. The music he represented was full of intelligence, imagination, possibility and beauty. He made Ambient music relevant in the L.A. underground.

And he was cool enough to help me with my fledgling label in the early 2000s! Phunked Up Recordings

Whats that first track on side A?

Ethereal female sample, sounds like she’s singing “Videodrome.. nothing lasts forever..” over a wicked break. Love the contrast!

Barry Weaver – Untitled (1991)

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…
