1996 Mixtapes

By 1996, American dance music scenes had fully come into their own. New York's house and garage scene was world-class. Detroit techno was influencing producers globally while remaining deeply rooted at home. The West Coast had developed a hard trance and house sound that was distinctly American. And in cities across the country, weekly club nights and monthly raves were building loyal local communities around cassette tapes, white labels, and word of mouth.

Original cassette recordings and promo tapes from a thriving moment in American club culture.
