DJ Storm (Strictly Vinyl Set)

We're digging through our archives & presenting some of the best live mixes from Insession. First up it's Metalheadz own DJ Storm - Here's what she told us the day this was recorded.

"So I've been washing records for days, when I got my Old Old Skool tunes out of my storage space they were very dirty indeed. This set has a really special place in my heart, Kemistry and I collected all these tunes together and never got the chance to play them out together, so I will be playing this set for both of us." 

Enough said really. Enjoy the set & go follow @djstormdnb

Shifted (Techno set)

If you've been keeping an eye on folks we've featured here before you'll know Shifted under a different guise. Now making techno to much acclaim & featured here courtesy of RA.

Spirit (Acid & Techno tapes)

Here's something for you acid house & techno fans, apparently Spirit of inneractive & phantom audio fame came across some old cassettes, recorded them to mp3 & shared them with the guys at Lowerdepths!

It's a great find as they have all the lovely hiss & crackle you'd expect from an old taped vinyl mix. A tracklist has been done for the acid mix and the techno one remains happily unidentified.

Mr Fingers - Can You Feel It
Master C & J - Face It
Jack Frost - Cool and Dry
Armando - Confusions Revenge
