Unknown Dj - Giants Casting Shadows (Mixtape) [199x]
Bad ass techno tape. Nothing to hardcore, straight early Detroit techno then transitions more on the acid techno side. Nothing fancy. Right before techno turned all hardcore and lost momentum.
Early 90s.

Hoffman Chillin' - Unknown Dj (Mixtape) [199x]
Crisp acid house/techno tape. Stay up late and drop a tab to this mixtape. Well, that's what I used to do in the 90s. Both sides will take you on a trip. No dj specified, and no idea where I got this tape but its well put together and very well mixed. Labeled "Hoffman Chillin" on both sides. Mid 90s.
*If you understand the "Hoffman" reference you love acid.
