1990s techno mixes

We love 90s techno here at 88to98. We spoken about The Orbit in Leeds many times. Plus we love gabba. So it’s nice to see Mixmag doing something positive about the 90s techno scene for once. Trust us, in those days it was mainly a house music mag. Even the mighty Ark gets a mention, although don’t get confused this was one of the only times techno was on at the Ark. (apart from the time Gayle San did a no show)

JUAN ATKINS ‘LIVE AT ARK LEEDS’ (1993)

Want to be transported to legendary Leeds club night Ark to hear the world’s of acid house and Detroit techno collide? That’s what you’ll find inside this fast, loose and frenetic recording of Juan Atkins doing his thing out on tour as a pioneer of the techno sound. This mix is from the same year that the Model 500 compilation came out and a little after he released his first solo album (alongside 3MB aka Thomas Fehlmann and Moritz von Oswald) – it’s a raw depiction of an artist making dance music history.
