Well...
This got off to a bad start when my hard drive melted down on the the computer I usually used to do mixing and media on, so I had to scrounge around and eventually got back to fixing everything up.

Rather than my usual terrorising TA's with industrial and electro I decided to go back to where it all began for me, living out in the proverbial sticks of south west England we would occasionally have the city kids set up a dance party in reserves, parks and basically wherever they could get away with it at least until the rozzers started slapping people around with good behaviour sticks. Tracks would blow in every now and then if the wind was right, of course there was no chance in hell I'd be allowed to go to one!
But on subsequent trips back to England and Europe after I moved to Australia I always made a point of trying to get hold of some of those little gems of electronic music from the early 90s and drag back to this godforsaken, poisonous hellhole of a country where I've lived on and off for close to 20 years when I wasn't travelling or working overseas.

Australia had its own comparatively decent electronic music scene all through the 90s as well, but for this particular mix I chose a lot of English and European artists. That era where people dragged out their music machines and made stuff you could go nuts too, a lot of this is fairly much as underground as electronic music could get and "things" like SP23/Spiraltribe and Curley I doubt we'll see the likes of again.

I put a couple of early trance tracks at the start just so that those of us old enough to remember what trance was like before all the Armins, PVD's, Tiesto's and other subsequent high profile wankers choked it to death. Dont get it in your head for a minute the rest of the set is like those two!

Oh no, the rest of this mix is a rolling barrage of floor smashing, sub-bass destroying old school goa and underground techno full of much abused drum machines, screaming raw 303s that only played in raves and nightclubs that didn't suck. No one else would touch it, no hits on Saturday morning TV or your friendly local top-40 radio went near it because it was listened and danced to by lunatics that took lots and lots... and lots of drugs!

I live vicariously off my memories as I get older and settle into suburban obscurity, it saddens me that EDM has become so commercialised to the point of stagnation, even if there is a second coming for this type of music I doubt I'd have anything to do with it because I'd just look silly at my age and probably on a walking stick.

Yay, okay, I've inserted the link to the May 2011 Classics Mix into the first post. Thank you, Lews! Wow, I'm really looking forward to listening to your set.

Lilith, I think you meant to create a new thread for your mix. It looks interesting. I'll check it out after I listen to Lews set.

Haha Lilth, I'm pretty sure you gotta clear it with Chrissi before you post your classics mix but that's okay

Getting yours and Lews's

grabbing your set, Lil. I'll have a listen in the morning if I'm awake in time

Lews: Tracklist looks nice
Gonna have a good listen.
Cheers!

Lews: Nice mix, man. I know that 50 Cent song by heart lol, and the Rage track always brings me back to my Tony Hawk days. I wasn't too familiar with the rest of them, but they definitely sounded like your type of music. Awesome work, all the way around.

I like your progression, Lily. You've opened with some good trancey stuff, and the acid on the track at about 28-30 mins is awesome. It's probably not to the softer tastes of some of the people who now post on this board who got into asot/gdjb from 2004 onwards though Definitely reminds me of '90s' both with the sounds and the tempos and the final track is one I'd heard before but didn't actually know the name of it, so thanks for that Makes me want to get out the mid 90s old hardtrance at 160bpm again & go nuts.

Yes, but when you told me to chuck a mix in here you didn't say there was particular stipulations, so now I've caused a hassle

getting a mix from you is NEVER a hassle. getting me to review it often is

oh kool. two mixes this month.

Ive got a influences mix i made some months ago, i havent really uploaded it anywhere, would that be interesting to this thread??

Yonny, this isn't really the thread where you just post a mix.

I think if you want to share a mix, you make a thread for that mix.

If you want to contribute to the "TAs Share Their Classics," send me a PM and I'll put you on my list.

At this point, we have contributors scheduled through the end of this year.

I'm debating whether I should fill November 2010 - March 2011 or leave the gap.

I have asked a couple of people to put together sets that I can use in case someone who is asked doesn't produce.

For now, Lews has shared his Classics with us and his set is our May 2011 set. He and his set should be the focus at this point.

Imho the blade runner OST is vangelis' best work! This tune is one of the highlights, "i have seen things none of you would believe..."

Ill give your mix a go

i know what this thread is about, i was just asking, perhaps you needed a mix for some of the comming months, but since youre already full ill just stay on the listener side.

Would you like to contribute?

If yes, I will PM you and we can discuss it.

I have a schedule. I hope we will have one set a month for ever and ever. I would like to fill the schedule.

People who are interested, just let me know and we'll work it out.

Cheers!

Since Lil's posted hers, we should use it as a gap filler from the months where there weren't any. It's a good mix and different to some that some people would think of doing

Lilith, if you'd like to contribute to System J's "TAs Share Their Classics" let me know. If this set is your contribution, fine. Whoever reads through the thread will see it.

That's it.

What? The rules are pretty clear. I don't think it's Ian who doesn't understand, I believe it's Lilith.

Nah, it's all my fault. I couldn't mindread someone and thought Lil would've done something to contact Chrissi about it, when at the time only you & I said we'd do one. I'm afraid that regardless of how it was laid out, Lilith put the effort in to do one and I believed it should be allowed as a one off. Chrissi disagreed and with the blame coming my way, I deleted my set because I felt like being 12 again and a few other things were said about it & me that made me not want to have it associated with her thread at this time. For those who listened, thank you very much, appreciate the feedback I got and comments from others. I'll just be damned if I'm being accused of things I didn't forsee happening.

Yes, no worries, all is good.

Happily, I have a long list of TAs who want to share their classics, and I've scheduled into 2012.

Lew's set is the May 2011 mix and now we have a bonus... we all win.

I'll put the April set that Ian deleted back up when I have a chance.

Cheers
