Next One Will Be Better, Episode 0, AKA the Giant Love Balls mix

Next One Will Be Better: a techno music podcast

This bedroom mix was recorded as a DJ demo nearly 20 years ago with a pair of Technics 1200s and a Numark Pro-SM3 mixer; it contains a splendid set of late nineties techno featuring both familiar and more obscure artists. My motivation for re-releasing this mix was due to receiving a text from my friend Owen (formerly known as Owen The Soyboy and more commonly known nowadays as The RhythmDial); I gave him a copy of this mix back in the day, and he wished to feature it on his show on Fnoob Techno Radio, Inner Loop. I was honored to receive such exposure, particularly since I was working my way back into the DJ realm. The show was only 60 minutes long, so it could not feature the full mix, so I am presenting it for you now, dear listener. The mix subtitle comes from the final track, which was a common thrift store find at the time the mix was created.
