Here’s another classic mixtape, from early 1993, by Mark Farina. The NEF file for the picture I took of the B side of this tape was somehow, though somewhat interestingly, corrupted. Thankfully, the music remains intact.

DJ Thee-O – The Drumbeats Of Love

I had intended to put this mix up around Christmas, as you can see from the write up by Thee-O below. There were some temporary issues with the site that delayed this from happening, as well as my posting anything. I’m happy to say everything is resolved now and new music should be appearing on a more regular basis. Enjoy!

“I recorded this set live at Drumbeats in Love in the High Desert around my birthday in 1993. The party was pretty damn good from what I remember of it. The set comprised of some of some hard trance from Eye Q and Harthouse Records. I was a big fan of that sound at the time. What I do remember is that I made this tape as a Christmas present. I only made about 100 I think and just gave them away. It is a pretty rare tape and I am glad Simfonik is putting up near Christmas so that I can give it away again.” – Thee-O

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
