DJ mixes and mixtapes from 1991, digitized and restored from original cassette tape recordings. 1991 was a foundational year for American dance music culture. The rave scene was spreading rapidly from its coastal origins in New York, Los Angeles, and San Francisco into cities and college towns across the country - fueled by word of mouth, flyers, and cassette tapes passed hand to hand. House and techno, born in Chicago and Detroit, were finding new audiences nationwide while the underground DJ mix circuit was thriving in clubs and at illegal warehouse parties. Original cassette recordings from the year American rave culture found its footing. Cleaned up and remastered from analog sources.
