VA - The Techno Sound of Stockholm: Btech Classics 1988-1991 (2019)

Deep forests and abandoned warehouse buildings. Stockholm had a lot of those in the late 80s, and they became the perfect hideaways for the booming rave and techno scene in the capital of Sweden. It was all fun, free and rebellious, just like the music coming out from Btech, the first underground house label in Scandinavia. Now, thirty years later, we bring you The Techno Sound of Stockholm 1988-1991 the definite soundtrack to those early days of rave. Local crew MDAs anthem Take An E is certainly among the tracks (both the original mix and the Billy Nasty remix). So is Concorde Movements rather trippy 7 Trips And Then, Maniac Tackles banging Bass FU and the much sought after Auranaut remix of Morgan Kings end of the night classic Im Free. Eventually, the rave scene of Stockholm grew too big to remain a secret, and soon media started to report about the drug parties destroying the youth, while the police started a special rave department to put an end to it. But thats another story. For now, lets enjoy the sounds of the groundbreaking years that changed dance music forever. Many of the tracks on The Techno Sounds of Stockholm 1988-1991 have never been available digitally before.
