Electronic Music Memories from the Late 1990's

In the mid 1990's I fell in love with electronic music like trance, speed garage, and other music that has a good beat.

Rare Dance Music Tracks I only heard on the radio only once or twice.  I had these tracks on tape.  Some of the tapes have been eaten up by the cassette player.  This is a listing of my favorite tracks with a vocal Time Stretch effect.

Here are some tracks you may recognize or not

1994


The Way, Shadow VIP Mix, DJ Tatix, 1994

In December 1994 I was exposed to my first jungle / DNB track on Energy 108.  This track featured the scary vocal time stretch. When I heard the first time stretch, my stomach will cringe when I am not ready for it, especially while laying in bed.

1995

Higher State of Consciousness, Josh Wink, 1995.  This is the second track I heard that featured a deep male vocal time stretch.  I heard an acapella time stretch while I was in a dream state one night, it was very scary.  I did not know what it was.  A few weeks later, I was laying in bed, listening to the live to air from Amnesia Night Club on Hot 103.5 and heard that same time stretch and I had the unsettling feeling in my stomach.  I quickly shut the radio off and started sleeping without the radio in case I hear another scary time stretch.

1997/98

Rip Groove -- Double 99, 1997.  I taped this track from Hits 103.5 during a Live to Air broadcast in December 1997.

My Name is Barbarella-Caspar Pound & Peter Smith Remix, Barbarella, 1993.  I was very lucky to have the tape rolling on April 3, 1998 and catch this rare track.

Beautiful Day-Juniorverse Mix,  Hypertrophy 1998.  This track features a long time stretch at the top of the track.  This track only aired three times on Chris Sheppard's Pirate Radio on July 17th,  24, and 31, 1998.  I heard this track at cadet camp and I wanted to tape it.  When I got home from camp, The track was removed from the rotation
