Outstanding stuff! Cheers for sharing!

Darren said...

you're right about him being under-rated. he's ace.

also can you let dozzy leave japan and come to the uk. pretty please. ;-)

Rokas said...

one of the best mixes i have heard in a long time :)
promomixes are great, patrick walkers was ace too!

marzie said...

Looking forward to this. Serious old-skool tuneage - Clarke's Aphrohead remix, Booster, Station To Station. What an amazing compo True Spirit was too - Karl O'Connor, Fumiya Tanaka, Mills's Late Night remix... Class, class, class. <3

i don't really get this underrated tag myself. everyone i know who knows their techno thinks he's ace.

@darren 3rd December Corsica Studios Bleep Party.

♥♥♥ this. So nice to hear a fresh set of this older style of techno again (that I cut my teeth on). Thanks to all.

This is definitely an amazing mix. I'm so happy I found it. It's a real keeper as well as a nice guide to classic techno. And thanks for the tip Rokas, there are some sweet mixes there. A real nice idea I must say.

And as to the debate of whether SS/JM is underrated; I'd have to say no, today he isn't for those of us in the know (not exactly the definition of mainstream), but I sure as hell was surprised that he's been active for this long. It took me a listen before I even bought into the date in the title. Should have started with the track list, but when the subject says Silent Servant I jump.

Good lord. This one is getting me in touch with all my favorite records again.

Good stuff!
