This tape was mixed by Frank C in April of 1993. Frank worked at the once great Street Sounds Records, back when it was upstairs and worth visiting, in the early 90’s.

Frank C . MY FAVORITE EARLY NINETIES los angeles DJ
IM so glad people can hear this – so they’ll understand proto house scene- -jungle,etc ….. these were the memories for me .. when everybody eles was playing techno – acid ,etc this guy blew everybody away….. So much hype IN PLUR WORLD but they really never remember the classic L.A. KIDS In the party scene . . .
Does a great job of connecting italo HOUSE to trance music..
not all the tracks are hot but the ones that are were the mix…..
THAN X FOR THE MEMORIES FRANK C .. WAS THE L.A. HOUSE RULER – – –
– UNKNOWN DJ BISCUIT
Amazing! Simply AMAZING!
wow this stuff is dated…progressive dull.
glad its stuck in the 90’s.
Had to be there OnE…a different experience…what’s your preferrence?
crazy how underrated frank was. i watched this guy make other djs getting twice the credit look like beginners. thanks Frank, do hope you decide to come out of retirement and help set LA on fire again.
Would love to get an ID on the track at 11:00 on Side A. Been after that for awhile. The track right before it is a FSOL remix of Prefab Sprout.
The New Dance Republic – Take It To The Top.
Does anyone know the name of the track @ 8:08 on side B and the one after it?
Thanks, Omar! You rock!
Sorry, I don’t know your ID’s… : /
Glad I could help.
Peace
Hey Dubby…I’m paying at the Future Sound After Hours After No Doz…hope to see you there…thanks.
Hell Yeah! Always loved your sets at the Fresh Produce parties.
Official DJ! We use to ditch school and go to street sounds. Frank C. was always a real cool guy and a great DJ that deserved more credit.
Frank- Can we find you on soundcloud.com with any recent mixes?
Frank!!! It’s been MANY years but My friends DAMIAN MENDOZA and ABE DOMINGO were talking about Street Sounds back in the day!! (1992, 1993). Damian and Abe are still DJ’s and We used to go visit you and they would get all their vinyl from you!! Here’s their links on FB: Damian http://www.facebook.com/demanio

Im sorry to disagree with ONE but I find the first side of the tape very relevant to how good dance music should sound. Build ups which aren’t monotonous. Layering of sounds etc. I’ll groove to this any day over alot of new stuff
Wow! I bought this tape from Frank at Street Sounds. He gave us a flier for Middle Earth. We always had a blast there.
This tape is Proper Old Skool & proper vinyl talent. I dont care what any newbie thinks. They weren’t there and like Frank pointed out it was an entirely different experience. Dope mix Frank, respect!
