DJ Venom - Crane School Of Breakbeat (1994) by DJ Venom published on 2014-01-24T01:12:29Z It was 1994. maybe late 1993. Nothing like mixing up a cassette tape on two beaten up Technic SL-210s (I couldn't afford 1200s) and a mixer from Radio Shack. I had one good quality Maxell tape that I had recorded one of my hip hop radio show on a couple years back. I decided to record over it and make this breakbeat mix tape with all the new vinyl I had purchased. I plugged the VCR audio into the mixer so I could use samples I had prepared from Kung Fu movies and a Documentary on martial arts. My needles were on their last leg (you can hear every little bump in the records and there is even a skip or two). Regardless, I made the mix, bought some cheap blank cassettes and spent a week making dubs to hand out. I went through some of my comic books and took them to Kinko's where I copied pictures and pasted and cut words and images with actual scissors and glue to make the covers. I even included my home phone number on it! I think this tape got me some bookings. At the time, the hardcore scene was fading, jungle and happy hardcore were still a year or two away and everyone was into trance at the time, yet I stuck with what I loved. I hope you enjoy this piece of history. I cringe at some of the mixes and I'm glad that I improved over the years, but its nice to reminisce and relive a great time in my life. Peace. Love. Unity. Respect. Just as relevant now as it was in 1994. -DJ VENOM www.djvenom.com www.facebook.com/djvenommusic Genre Dj Venom Comment by Baxlife 3 Could you please post all your Junlge tapes? like Jungle Killer and the previous one before that? 2021-07-04T13:34:26Z Comment by First Person do you have any of these cassettes laying around? 2017-05-26T07:25:06Z Comment by Umbrelladown That opening piano <3.
