Omar & Thee-O – Mind Waves
I’ve had a lot of requests for this tape. When I asked Thee-O if he’d write something up about this mixtape, here’s what he had to say:
“Omar (now known as Darius Alexsander) and I have known each other a very long time. We both went to the same Jr. High and High School. When I first met him in 8th grade we were both into DJing. I remember riding my ten speed over his house just to get my hands on some 1200′s which I did not have at the time. After high school we both got into the rave scene. We both started DJing different things and kept in touch with each other over the years. We decided to do our first mix tape some time in 1995 I believe. This is our first Mindwaves tape, of which we eventually made 3. This is one of my most requested mixes to put online and I am glad simfonik.com is getting this up. Hope you enjoy.” – Thee-O

I wore this tape out in my car around 95/96 just from rewinding, and playing Pure over and over again. Can’t believe it was so long ago now even though it doesn’t feel it.

Will you be putting up Mindwaves 2 anytime soon and is that the one with bruce lee movie clips at the intro on both sides?

LOL….. Yes, I did make a mixtape with the Bruce lee Intro. “Have some tea?” I really like how that set turned out. I gotta get a hold of these sets myself for my own collection.

Omar! Actually we met at that $1 rave and you played upstairs (power went out during one of the DJs sets). You and your girlfriend were very cool & down to earth (unlike SOME djs!), glad to have met ya.

Oh, weird. That means the tape, this copy anyway, is labeled incorrectly. I’ll make the correction though.

My Apologies for taking so so long. But here is what i was able to gather for tracklist. If there is only artist info, it means i don’t have the record anymore and i dont have the rest of the info. So its all just of my brain. I didnt realize i only had a few :(

Just a couple of minor points:
1st song (starting @ 0:55) is Winx – Lumpy Oatmeal
11:00 MSP (Manic Street Preachers) – Faster (Chemical Brothers remix)
Thanks, Omar, for giving the info on that (been trying to remember that one for a while; I had been thinking it was a Renegade Soundwave track).
Followed by Wink’s HSC (incidentally, exactly what I followed with in a mix of mine).
