Old School Garage, Deep, and Classic House Mix (1990-2002)

Live From Da Underground — the Afterparty Mix is a tribute to the roots of house music. Specifically for this mix, a focus on Garage, Deep House, and Classic House. I wanted to continue to go down the route of deep and soulful sounds but with attention toward the dancefloor. If Inner Chords was about staying in, the Afterparty Mix is about going out until sunrise grooving to timeless classics. The sourcing of tracks took another step deeper into the early 90s and further into the underground. The origins of discovering these tracks range from DJ sets, really hidden Spotify playlists, specific Youtube channels, and hours going through catalogs of records on Discogs reading through comments. It was a real joy to go through discographies and learn the rich history of labels such as Subliminal, Fourth Floor, Strictly Rhythm, Pagan, Paper Recordings, Guidance Recordings, Glasgow Underground, and MAW just to name a few. This mix is a nod to people all over who experienced these tracks firsthand on the dancefloor. I also want to attribute this mix to San Francisco and its almost-forgotten rave scene. Going through so many records, I came to find so many allusions to the SF scene, and as a Bay Area native myself, it pains me to see that there isn’t one anymore. There is one record store left tailored to these sounds ( — please do support and/or visit the store). After visiting it recently and meeting the owner, it was a sad sight to hear him discuss the heyday of a once-thriving scene only to witness all the creatives leaving and being pushed out. Despite this, I hope this mix can bring back good memories of people’s days in San Francisco and all over from 1990 - 2002 and forever on.
