DJ mixes and mixtapes from one of America's most influential regional dance music scenes, digitized and restored from original cassette tape and CD recordings. The San Francisco Bay Area had a dance music culture unlike anywhere else in the country. From the early 90s rave scene that took over warehouses, fields, and abandoned spaces across the region, to the world-class club nights that followed, the Bay produced DJs, promoters, and crews that were operating at the highest level of the underground. The scene had its own sound, its own aesthetic, and a community that was deeply serious about the music. This playlist collects mixes that originated from San Francisco, Oakland, and the broader Bay Area - documents of a regional scene that deserves to be remembered and heard. Restored from analog sources and archived here for the people who were there, and the ones who wish they had been.
