SLOW TO SPEAK 'CORE 1995 (B)'

$14.99

Before MP3’s, digital, I-Tunes and the dreaded convenience of the internet, there was the direct & tangible excitement of the mix-tape universe, an open forum in which aspiring and established programmers, niche enthusiasts and curious explorers of the vast web of professional and not-so-pro disc jockeys interacted through the 90 minute medium of the 2-sided tape cassette. It was here that reputations were made & dismantled, and dreams of grandeur were realized in the small-time fame of inner-circle reputation. Of course, the mixes themselves had to do more than simply verify “Yes, I can put 2 records together…I am a DJ”; they had to actually demonstrate an ability to effectively rock a party, compare, contrast & assemble tracks with an intuitive programming wit that only the worthy possessed.

Add To Cart

This second installment of the retrospective “CORE” mix series, presented by slow to speak’s Paul Nickerson & Francis Englehardt, continues the loyal chronicling of the not-so-distant past of 1990’s classic house euphoria. A demonstration first and foremost in party-rocking mastery, “CORE -1995 (b)” flies with full-on cockiness & show-off confidence, yielding a maximum anthemic force in a time when soulful dance music was beginning to come into it’s own, having weathered the difficult years of inception and only then settling in to cultural solidification. Another authentic & sincere example of classic house music mixed with the energetic virtuosity & quick-fire instinct of youths fully enraptured with newfound creative possibilities of their adored medium.
