Before the DirtChamber sessions. Liam (Prodigy) Howlett live '93

In keeping with this weeks theme, honouring parties past, I present a 29:34 mix by the brains and skillz behind the UKs The Prodigy. I know you may think they're played out now, but back then they were the underground sound. I remember dialing up on my 14.4 modem through the Worlds Biggest Bookstore BBS, opening "alt.raves" wacked out of my gourd and posting the immortal words "Toronto needs the Prodigy" then in the body "teach our speakers" or some crap like that. Then waking up the next...evening, garbage bags on windows having served their purpose and reading it attached to MY handle, which back then was "Bug:Lite" (thought of quickly when fishing for a cool nick calling into James Saint Bass' Show "HARDDRIVE" on CIUT 89.5fm before the funding debacle-I had just changed the lamps in the backyard, and was probably requesting something I had heard on Dr.Trance's guide-you-to-the-party Saturday Night Radioshow or the Sheppard's/DogWhistle "Pirate Radio" show or on Pseudo.com NYC webcasts of "Freq" on the internet)
ANYWAY: This is a mix of Liam Howlett spinning a live set in '93 before the Dallas leg of "A Rave New World" that featured Prodigy, Moby and Cybersonic. *sigh* remind me to buy a Delorian.
-about half way through the mix starts to get memorable. I had to pause twice to fight lockjaw.
