BORREBISSEBÅND.01: Fantazia 1992

This is the first episode of Borrebissebånd – a series broadcasting the sound of a shoebox. The shoebox was left behind in an apartment complex in the small town of Esbjerg on the western shore of Denmark by a crew of oil rig workers – so-called roughnecks – from Bristol. The shoebox was filled with cassette tapes featuring various DJs and artists, from various locations in the beginnings of the 1990s. Some tapes are recorded off the radio, some are mixtapes and compilations, some are clearly DJ-sets recorded directly from the mixer at a club. All of them feature a mesmerizing trance music that these oil rig workers from Bristol couldn’t live without, all the lonely days and nights out there on the drilling platform. This episode is a live recording from one of the first raves under the name Fantazia in 1992. Fantazia was once a notorious dance organisation based in the UK. Founded in 1991, it was set up at a time when breakbeat hardcore was in the ascendent within the rave scene, having grown out of the Acid House movement. The energy is high and the bass is fast. Tune in and turn up the volume. From the tracklist: Believe it - Euphoria The Ultimate Seduction - The Ultimate Seduction Who is Elvis?
