VA - Jesse Brooks - L.A. Groove (CD Mixed) [1997]

 
Don't know much on Jesse Brooks, this mixed cd is a perfect example of how diverse the scene was in the late 90s here in Southern California. The underground scene had become more popular with the so-called rave scene, eventually the clubs, raves and underground events now played a wide spectrum of electronic. Imo kind of cluttered and repetitive. Here is a sample of how funky it got.
 
Clean funky break beats (aka trip hop), to get stoned too.
 


VA - Wakin' Up A Dead Planet - Volumes 1-3 (Compilation) [1993]




Dark early 90s hard acid techno at its finest, borderline hardcore, you can tell which direction techno was headed. Mainly tracks and artists from the Mono Tone label, a label who pumped out techno & acid in the 90s. If you want to experience what techno sounded like right before the states made it popular,
here ya go. 1993.

Dan Efex - Next (Mixtape) [1995]

Unknown Dj - You Are What You Eat (Mixtape) [199x]

 
Old tape rip labeled "You Are What You Eat." No dj specified. 90s hard house bangers one side, flip side oldschool techno. I really dig the choice of tracks on the techno side, clean techno baselines. Minimal tape hiss on side a but overall very well mixed.
 
You pick which side you prefer to eat.

VA - Technorave 3-Technomania (Compilation) [1992]



I remember buying this cassette at Music Plus. Back then techno & house wasn't a popular genre, finding physical tapes was rare. Classic repetitive jams. 1992 at its best. Who would've known every new fidget house and trap music song now samples these tracks nonstop.

VA - Phuture-An Industrial Project [1994]



 
 
Dark early techno at its peak. IMO techno was never the same after this. Peaked, died and transformed into a replica hard house. This compilation captures it all. 1994 R.I.P.

Dj DB - Acid Resistant (Mixed Compilation) [1995]




 
 
I absolutely played the shit out of this cd, purchased it 2 or 3 times prior to the year 1999. Almost impossible to find this comp in good condition until recently. Thank you internet.
 
The artists make this mix, not the dj. Clean analog botchy acid techno from a bunch of germans.
They love acid. Play this on a surround sound system, loud, and on something, you wont regret it.
 
Favorite track: Bizz Od - Im Coming Out Of Your Speakers

The Creator & Dj Thee-O - East Meets West (Mixtape) [1997]


 
 
Thee-o is known for his hard trance & weird ambient 90s sounds, but dude used to play a lot of techno in his early days. This being in the late 90s makes it rare. Hard trance acid techno before it became a laughing stock of the electronic scene.
