dj shel - 03/98

Our final offering from DJ Shel is this tape that he put
out March of 1998. Yet more classic mid/late
90s techno. I'd like to thank Sheldon for making
these tapes, and for providing them (as well as some
of the photos) for download. (expired)

dj shel - 01/98

Part III in the DJ Shel archives. This mix is from January
1998. More Detroit-esque stuff, mostly on the mellow side.

The photo above was taken at "the church" in Menomonie,
Wis. In retrospect, that was a pretty tight venue- an
old church turned into an apartment. I heard that it was
converted back to a church years later. Oh well. Shel, was
that a 19" MTX mixer (yours, as seen in the picture above)?
Wow, what an antique.

dj shel - 12/97

Sheldon just sent me one of his tapes from back in
December 1997, fittingly titled "12-97." Another
classic; plenty of Detroit shit. Sometimes at parties,
Sheldon would do something like have a Regis
session, where he'd play a block of Regis tracks
back-to-back. Super banging, noisy shit (he might
throw a little Surgeon in for good measure), and we'd
just be dying laughing. He used to play this one Neil
Landstrumm record (Brown by August?) that I would
joke sounded like chainsaw techno or something.
Ahhh, the memories.

dj shel - 01/00

Who likes that Detroit techno shit? I sure do. And I'm
happy to say that Sheldon has always rocked the shit
right, especially back during the music's heyday. When
we weren't driving 8 hours to see Jeff Mills, Shel was
putting a tape together. I'm going to encode some of
those old tapes, but for now, here's a mix of his from
January 2000.
