Encoded and restored from a cassette tape, here is the first 40 minutes of DJ Sho’s main floor set from the Xanadu party held at Ross Camp in Lafayette, Indiana on October 29, 1994. While going through tape archives I found a cassette that was in my car on auto-reverse for about a year with this set. The tape was restored playing it through the Neve 5033 parametric EQ and Neve Master Buss Processor to fix the sound and encoded at 24bit/96KHz with the Burl B2 Bomber and then run through Waves Restoration in Logic. Stream or download the release from Soundcloud.
