I recently found a whole bunch of mixes I did between 1992 and 1997 and have started the long process of ripping the cassettes to mp3.
As I work through them in no particular order I’ll put them up here for download.
Remember the sound quality isn’t great as they were all recorded through a mixer with no EQ and committed to cassette on a shabby home stereo…But what the hell, it’s that authentic 90s sound through and through.
So here’s the first one I’ve converted. An all-dark / techstep mix made in 1997.
I had to get the good folks at Dogs on Acid to help with the tracklist as I was never much of a trainspotter…and there’s no way I’m rooting through thousands of old 12″s.
We’re still missing a couple of IDs so if you know what they are leave a comment under this post.
Download the mix here or listen in the player below…

Great mix, thoroughly enjoyed it! Not heard some of the Torque tunes for a while, so that was a real treat.
Has anyone yet figured out what the track in between ‘In My Dreams’ and ‘Exquisite’ is?

“There’s no doubt about it there’s some kind of strange red light ahead, its yellow, i saw a yellow tinge in it too.. weird. it appears to maybe moving a litte bit this way”
“We’re picking up heat reflection of the trees. looking directly overhead one can see an opening in the trees, plus some freshly broken pine branches on the ground underneath. looks like someone came off 15 – 20 feet up”
“Right on this position here. Straight ahead, in between the trees – there it is again. Watch – straight ahead, off my flashlight there, sir. There it is”
“Oh yeah i see it too”
