We Called It Techno 4

Here's my first new mix of 2015, my fourth "We Called It Techno" offering. All transitions were performed manually from vinyl and CDs, with no laptops, MIDI controllers, or sync buttons used. Post-production was applied mainly to help smooth out the levels and to add DJ drops.

Some of the tracks should be fairly recognizable (like Da Juice's "Hear the Angels"); others are relatively obscure. All are from the early 1990s, and many rare extended mixes were used.

As with the first three "We Called It Techno" mixes: The title of the mix comes from the fact that I know a lot of these songs won't technically qualify as "techno" to the genre purists out there. Some, I'm sure, would qualify as old-school rave, or electro, or possibly even breakbeat. However, in Oklahoma in the 1990s, we didn't break down the subgenres too much. Most of those who went to the clubs such as Ikon back in the day would have defined the tracks as "techno." We loved the music, and we called it techno. :)
