It seems like there was an afterparty at someone’s house every single weekend back in the 1980’s and 90’s; surreal back-to-mine sunrise rallies, post-club ravers domestic chill-out. Usually, everyone was loaded to the gills, too spannered to find their way home, thus leading to wild debauched sessions that lasted well into the next morning. I witnessed and DJed at quite a few of these little shindigs, usually on shoddy cobbled-together home stereo equipment or the homeowners little bedroom set-up, the crowd couch sat like stoned lemmings wide-eyed to every tune. You could play ANYTHING groove or drug orientated at these parties; there was even a famous Back-To-Mine series of DJ mixes made by celebrities during this era. It was what we did with our pre-millennium tension before the internet.
Of course, I made a mixtape back in the day so I could also journey with the others through inner-space. But my mix is quite different than most of the others from those days: I chose deep heavy psychedelic cuts from Pink Floyd, Amon Duul II, George Harrison’s Wonderwall Sound, Cosmic Jokers, and Butthole Surfers. Head-tested mind-blowing lysergic free-form freek and roll music! The Vinyl and CD’s used in this mix were not manipulated, panned, or phased in any way and appear sonically exactly as they do on the original recordings. Mix is linked below. There is also a download link on the page if you are so inclined.
So turn on, tune in, and freak the fuck out…
