The tunes on this 57:28 minute mix define what house music and raving was all about in London and the home counties in 1990.
These tunes were spun at Raindance,Energy,Labyrinth and a multitude of huge illegal warehouse parties,and played on London's finest pirate radio stations such as Friends FM 98.7, Moonlight 101 and Kiss FM which was only just in the process of being granted a LEGAL licence during this period.
1990 was a year of very bleepy,trippy,sometimes dark underground house, and towards the end of the year the first breakbeat tracks(the beginning of Hardcore) crept in IE: Ragga Twins as featured on this mix.
