Here we have a random vinyl mix up. I think it was recorded at home sometime during late 2002
The track list is a broad selection Techno & Trance tunes you could loosely refer too as classics. Most people who were out rocking during the early 2000's should remember these like the back of their hand.
Throughout the 2000's I saw all these guys perform except Wayne G & O.T Quartet.
Thomas P Heckmann aka DRAX would be one of my all time favourite artists and definitely one of my biggest overall inspirations.
Roughly 30 years into his career he is still going strong. Exclusively from his bandcamp his limited vinyl releases routinely sell out during the presale stage. Which he then labels & posts all around the globe himself.
"Thomas P Heckmann"
(Quote) Thomas: “All my acid tracks in the past 30 years were done and recorded live in my studio and therefore are more like a live set than a production. It’s pure fun for me and seems to never end.”
