Fabio — The Edge - Drum & Bass V8 / S2 (1997)
Killer live set from Fabio from 1997. While Techstep was sweeping through most drum n bass sets that year, Fabio keeps the selection wide open. Not sure where this was recorded as I believe The Edge closed its doors in 1994. Featuring tracks from Adam F., New Balance, LTJ Bukem, Boymerang, Lemon D, DJ Die, and Scorpio.
John Digweed — The Positive Collection (1995)
Nice progressive house set from John Digweed live at an unknown event sometime in 1995. If you listen closely you can hear the crowd in the background. Featuring tracks from Patrick Prins, Yosh, Bum Bum Club, Kimball & Dekkard, Mothers Pride, and First Joy.
Nigel Richards — Hidden Sounds Of Philly (1995)
Exceptional acid / techno mix from Nigel Richards. Most of these tracks have aged extremely well and still sound amazingly contemporary. The cover says "this mix of freaky dark experimental techno-house and minimal trance is guaranteed to get you laid" and I think that might actually be true! Featuring tracks from DBX, Neil Landstrumm, Mory Kante, Teste, Bandulu, Slam, and Nico.
Maynard Slip — Bang Tha Drumz (2001)
Fierce drum n bass mix from Phoenix, Arizona's Maynard Slip released in 2001. This one also features additional synths, samples, live drums and scratching from Slip as well. Featuring tracks from Bad Company UK, Panacea, John B, Twisted Individual, Crown City Rockers, and Usual Suspects.
DJ Trance — Too Much Going On Upstairs Part Two of Two (1995)
Brilliant acid / trance / breakbeat mix from Los Angeles's DJ Trance (Jason Blakemore) released in 1995.

Dieselboy & Dara — Live At Bassrush (1996)
Awesome live sets from Dieselboy and Dara at Bassrush 3. This one is a dub (presumably from an In-Ter-Dance tape) with decent sound quality - definitely comparable to the average In-Ter-Dance cassette. Featuring tracks from Liftin Spirits, Sappo, DJ Rap, Photek, Dope Skillz, Method Man, and DJ Zinc. Mad shoutout to DJ Wreck for sending this one in!
DJ Garth — Share (1994)
Spectacular house workout from San Francisco legend Garth (Wicked Crew / Grayhound Recordings) released in 1994. Featuring tracks from Pleasure Dome, Romanthony, I.M.T., M.C.J., and Inner City.
