Rave Archive - DJ Mixtapes, Party Flyers, Scene Zines, Forums

So, the last few days I have stayed up way too late listening to mixes from this website. It is impossible to describe the flood of nostalgic bliss that comes from some of these sets. I used to have alot of these mixtapes. They were bought at parties up and down the east coast and my collection has suffered a slow and painful attrition from multiple moves through the years. To hear mixes like Frankie Bones Live in Tokyo from 96 (or the nice size collection of mixes from his Fantasy series) is amazing to me. These were the tapes we listened to on the way to and from parties from NYC to Atlanta, as we made use of our place in the middle of the coast and enjoyed the best of the East Coast from the bottom to the top. Maybe some of you had heard of this website before, but for me it's just a recent discovery and a happy one at that.
