Thee-O’s Planetary Rave Series, was released in 1995, but also includes mixes from 1994. The following text is from the back cover of this incredible 4 tape box set release:
The year is 2007 (the distant future) and our orbit is complete. The interplanetary rave was a success. The Global Intelligence Agency and local governments thought it could not be done. They wanted to use our alien friends as experimental lab rats. We knew what would unite us all. It has united different cultures and colors for years, so why not different alien races? A huge mega rave spanning our solar system!
We started off on Venus and danced as the sun went down. A full moon guided us through our stop on Earth. On Mars we picked up steam and pranced around the huge mountain of speakers. Finally we arrived on Saturn, where the sun peeked through like a fireball amidst the orbiting rings.
Yes, it was a night to remember. It was the same as it ever was. It was our time and place. It was our destiny. Fly safely.

Tape Source: DJ Thee-O and Ryan D
Sunset On Venus is a brilliant mix that covers many walls of this eclectic room. This mixed tape brings back some of the most wonderful memories of my early raves. The integrity of this tape has it’s roots in Thee-o’s mind that was a planted gift in the ears of the masses.
Evening on Earth seems to be the same on both sides…. Input error, I assume?
Anders, thanks for pointing that out. I’ve fixed the problem.
Love Thee-O! This site is still lookin’ fresh as hell!
The Sunrise on Saturn tapes are brilliantlly mixed. I love the Dreamish Ambient Over tones it carries. It’s the perfect set to listen while cleaning, playing Chess or simply driving to go do the daily tasks. Also the Sun Can Burn side is a good side to use on Holloween while trick-or treaters knock on your door for candy.
I was so lucky to have sunset on venus as one of my first introductions to electronic music and it’s still IMHO the most creative and enriching mixtape listens i’ve ever encountered. just listened to it tonight and it still sounds classic and beautiful. would love a full tracklist
This is probably one of my favorite things I have done mixtape wise. Thank you sharing this. It takes me way back and sometimes you just need that :)
Raving On The Red Planet is madness. Such a good tape. It captures that outdoor (Desert/Mountain) gig vibe. Trance like this was awesome to get lost to.
