90's rave culture had a massive impact on the techno scene. And one particular artist, DJ MISJAH, was making huge moves across it. Launching his own imprint, X-TRAX RECORDS, which showcased his unique style of TECHNO and ACID TECHNO, he became a household name. With some incredible productions, an extensive remix catalogue and one of the best live DJ sets at the time, DJ MISJAH was a force. If you were lucky enough to catch one of his sets, you know exactly what I'm talking about. Sadly, MISJAH retired from DJing quite some ago, but he's still keeping his ears tuned to quality with his mastering services, so, definitely check out his studio below.Tracklisting:

A special treat for you fine folks! Recorded live in Saskatoon, Canada, circa 2001. This was an outdoor rave I put on for Canada Day. 9pm to 9am, although, the police shut it down around 7am due to noise complaints, it was one hell of a fun time!
For those that don't know, Ollie started his production career by submitting a little known track called "Eden" to Jon the Dentist's BOSCA BEATS label. Jon snapped it up and the rest is history. They eventually collaborated on some of the biggest HARD TRANCE records at the time, including "The 4th Kingdom", "Feel So Good" and "Imagination". The latter 2 were snapped up by TIDY TRAX and given a proper release and remix cycle.
Ollie and I first met in Vancouver while playing alongside Jon the Dentist for the Twisted Productions crew. We ended up DJing the same raves a few different times in Vancouver and eventually I flew him out to headline alongside Chris Liberator in Saskatoon.
It contains a hefty dose of HARD TRANCE and HARD HOUSE with minimal chemical assistance. A few of the track ID's neither Ollie nor I could remember, as you'll see.

In this week's episode, we're celebrating the incredible gifts we received from legendary label, REACT MUSIC. Some of the best TRANCE, HARD TRANCE, NU NRG and HARD HOUSE came from this label. We'll focus solely (for now) on their incredible compilation series REACTIVATE. Running for a booming 18 volumes, REACTIVATE brought some of the best in underground music to the masses. I jumped into this compilation series around volume 10, but it was 11 and 12 that got me collecting them. So, presented here, is an almost 90 min mix of my favorite cuts off of volume 11 and 12. Enjoy!

Rave in the 90's wouldn't be complete without bringing THE PRODIGY into the mix.

One must never discuss 90's HARD TRANCE and HARD HOUSE without mentioning the impact that BABY DOC & JON THE DENTIST made on the scene. JON's incredible album, THE PYRAMID, was a staple in ACID TRANCE sets the world over. And this was after he and BABY DOC released their album, IN WORSHIP OF FALSE IDOLS. BABY DOC, of course, went on to dominate the HARD HOUSE scene with his unique interpretation of the genre. So, to further celebrate their impact, I've dug out a nice mishmash of some of my favorite BABY DOC & THE DENTIST releases, both solo and duo, and put together this fun little mix for everyone. Hopefully you dig it!

It's a slow burn.
