Various pause button cassettes.
Mixtape experiments.
Under the pseudonym "DJ Solo" for a long time.

First sketchy production attempts via a four-track cassette recorder and a cheap and nasty six second sampler that was gaffa-taped to the side of the left turntable.

Honestly.
It all ended up sounding like Horror movie scores regardless of the records I used.

These were my first real attempts at that sort of thing.
I might dig them out sometime.
