I know I said I was done with eclectic mixes…
This one is a bit different. Fundamentally it’s ‘Techno for the Sample-Spotters’, but also a vague history of techno – from Kraftwerk, through Detroit and Acid house, into Sheffield Bleep and Euro Techno of the early 90s (the era I grew up with), with bits of ambient, house, rave and hardcore thrown in. Eclectic because it’s interspersed with plenty of random tracks, break loops and samples to enrich the experience, and of course there’s loads of reconstructions and references to classic hardcore and jungle (SL2, The Untouchables, Nebula 2, DJ Mayhem, Peshay, Intense, D.O.P.E. and Nasty Habits among others).
Massive shout to Paul from Distant Worlds for the original idea, creative input and sourcing many of the tracks this one’s for you mate 🙂
Enjoy it folks!
