I made this mix in 1997 using my turntables and a 4-track tape recorder. Since this mix was ripped from one of the original tapes it might sound like it’s underwater, but that old tape sound is sometimes a refreshing break from this digital age, so enjoy it. I really put the Radio in Ross The Boss Radio with this mix so if you want to know how cool we were in high school you will just have to listen.
