into the Galaxie


That's right ... Galaxie, not Galaxy. A radio-station in the north of France founded in 1981.
In the early nineties they decided to start programming 100% electronic music, and this made them a great inspiration during my youth. Techno, house, trance, elektro, ambient ... 24hrs a day. Can you imagine how happy i was when i discovered them at 95.3fm? (nowadays you can join them through their livestream).


The set underneath is a random recording i did on a fridaynight in 1991. It's a continuous mix (no chit-chat whatsoever) packed with rave-jams. This 60-minute-mix is one of my personal favorite sets ever (and i have quit a few). Maybe i'll try and make a tracklist in the next few days, but for now just have a listen.

Balmoral

I know it's been ages since i posted a new mix (and i also know that i say that almost every time :p) ... so here's something to end your weekend, or to kick off a new week.
A set by Kevin, recorded at Balmoral in 1996. I don't think Kevin needs any introduction (and neither does Balmoral). As a dj he always seemed to give his sets that extra touch thanks to excellent mixing skills and an extraordinary taste in music. His backspins are legendary and so are his "eighties" influences (a little hint in the video underneath).
