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.

Parkzicht Rotterdam - Promo Tape #NR11 (Mixtape) [1991]
"This series is dedicated to the mixtapes that were sold every night at Parkzicht Night Club in Rotterdam, the Netherlands." - If you know anything about the orgins of techno and who created it, you would remember these dudes created this rave scene and made it hard. It wasn't till 93-94 did America jump on board with this style. Ultimately the Los Angeles underground party crew scene sounded exactly like this for years before the popular rave culture took over. 1991.
