Easygroove @ Fantazia, New Year’s Eve 92-93

This mix is one of my top 3 or 4 favorite oldschool mixes ever. Technique-wise it’s far from perfect, but the track listing is absolutely insane… so many top notch lesser known or rarely played tracks! I got it a long time ago, was into it for a while, then completely forgot about it… years later I rediscovered it and found that practically the first half of the mix I had since bought, having no idea I probably first heard those tracks in the mix (I didn’t have a track listing for it at first).

    do you have an idea of the tracklist now, eh?

  3. Pete says:

    here ya go!
    tracklisting

  4. Ed says:

    fair play for doing the tracklisting – I’d always wondered what half of them tunes were! Totally agree with your comments – this is still one of my top rave mixes, although I had to convert it to CD before the tape wore out

  5. Pete says:

    Glad other people are into this one, to be honest I’ve heard more praise for his summer 92 mix (the one with kaotic chemistry takes you into fire’s burning), which is a great mix too. but the tracks in here are exactly my style – a little strange and grimey, pitched way up. I think I’ll post one or two of these tunes up tomorow…

  14. leaver says:

    awsome , 1 of the 1st raves i heard ,, the end of side 2 is awsome ,last 2 tracks and at 30 mins is awsome .good work

  15. Rach the old time raver says:

    Many many thanks for coming up with the track list and well done. I own the tape of this too and it’s bugged me for the past 17 years what my favourite track on it was called -Sly T & Ollie J – Help Me, which still has a good old blast out annoying the neighbours every now and then,lol.

    Thers a fair few others I love too especially F Project 13 – The Storm and Audio Illusion – Submission, so it’s been great to finally add them to my youtube fav’s aswell.

    You have made me very happy!

  18. Steve Hammond says:

    My mate was the one at the top of the speakers when the music stopped because we were all dancing on the speakers, and everyone was telling him to get of but he was to fucked realise what was going on

  19. Pete says:

    Haha, cool you know that guy who was getting yelled at!! Think there’s a few favorite mixtapes of mine where the MC is constantly shouting for people to get off the speakers.

  20. Kev Pesk says:

    Ahh this mixtape was one of my first tapes I’d actually bought and not got passed around school, was only 12 years old at the time! Legendary set by Easygroove, like most of his sets they just keep building up and up until you’re stomping silly, his other legendary set is from Dreamscape VII although that set’s a lot more harder on the techno side. I have the majority of the old tapes from this Fantazia but still on the lookout for more of them, looked like a wicked event from the Fantazia Vid’s. (DJ Seduction & Ellis Dee’s sets are the ones with all the shouting from memory!)
