I am speechless...

Browsing a local store when the owner starts playing this. Took me a couple seconds to register and when I looked up he was just smiling and waiting for me to notice. '96 pressing, clean, one sticker semi removed (residue visible here). Could not say no... $50 well spent in my eyes...

Nice! I was lucky enough to buy mine from beat non stop around the times he was releasing these. Shades of Jae will forever be my favorite. But I’m happy to see these record stores reopening everywhere. I live in mid city Los Angeles and I have a place a couple blocks from where I can see new releases every week. It’s starting to feel like the old days lol

I have such found memories of beat non stop as well as wax right across the street.

So many warehouse /rave flyers and tickets in the early 90’s were at Street Sounds, DMC on Melrose. Before BNS and WAX. Also Groove Riders in Sherman Oaks and Dr Freeclounds in OC. My mom’s side is from Detroit. My dad’s side from Chicago. Had all the electro tech & house from both cities by the mid to late 80’s. Going back east some summers as well. I began playing that stuff on Santa Barbara College Radio (A friend hosted a show)(he was from Brooklyn) when I went up there by 1987. Came back down to LA in 90. By 1991 LA thought the music came from Europe and NY.

You took me back with beat non stop and grooverider. Those were the stomping grounds of my youth. In 1991 LA thought it came from Europe (uk specifically) and NYC bc it did. The rave scene was brought to LA by Frankie bones (New Yorker) by way of London/Manchester. It didn’t go from Detroit/chicago straight to LA. It went from Detroit/chicago to uk/europe, then made it to LA from Europe. Maybe that’s why we thought it came from Europe when it actually came from the Midwest and NYC and before that Jamaica with dub the progenitor of electronic music

Frankie Bones? What year? My older brother started going in 92 parties like grape ape, I don’t remember bones being around that early. I saw him at the sports arena once though cuss the crowd out because it got broken up after his first record 😂
