    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 – - -

    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.

    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?

    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.
