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.

Radio Galaxie 1991 by Red Bull Elektropedia PS: i was surprised on the good sound-quality of the tape (after 18 years it's still very ok!).

1989 summer of rave documentary

Packed warehouses, Hacienda, Happy Mondays, hooliganism, secret locations, politics ... here's a very interesting insight on rave-culture and its influence during the 2nd "Summer of love". Rise and fall, the end of an era or just a new beginning?

I'm a sucker for old rave-tracks, and it appears i'm not the only one ... check out this guy's youtube-page, it's full of vinyl-rips of classic '89-'92 tunes. Sure brings back some memories!

91 . 92 . r4v3p0st

Things have been rather calm on the upload-front last week, so i thought i'd make it up with a triple-post:

Set 1 is a repost (back by popular demand):
Club 55, 1991. Info in the original post. True RAVESTYLE!

Set 2 was recorded in Antwerp at the legendary Café d'Anvers in October 1992. The sound is more clubby/housy, after all this is the city where the Wonka-label was founded. I don't have an exact date, or the name of the dj (must be one of the residents at that time: Koenie? Steve Cop? ...) but it's defenitely worth checking out (and the tapequality seems very ok).


Set 3 is a 90 minute-mix recorded in a small local club called Chéops (closed down after a police raid if i remember well). It sets of rather calm in a true sunday-afternoon style, but after about 10 minutes in come the classics. The recording was dated 1991.



 Chéops - Philippe Traikos 1991

Extra set: while i was at it, i also did a new upload on the At The Villa post from some time ago, it's a dj-set by residents Marko & Johan, recorded in 1994 (nice thing about this set is that you actually here the crowd go mentall on the background ... and then there's the music)

Hope you'll enjoy them!

Here's a tape I ripped from a legendary Belgian club called "Club 55". The tape was recorded in 1991 and consists out of 2 parts (as most audiotapes do ...).
There are a few tracks who appear in both parts, so I suppose the recording covers 2 different dates. Don't ask me which dj did this mix, it's a f*ckin 1991-tape, people didn't care, and handwriting was yet to be invented.

For all those suckazz talkin' bout so called "nu-rave": have a good listen to the real stuff!!


One last thing: there's a "comments" button somewhere down here ... feel free to use it.
