Another one that has been on my "must find" list for years.
The Deep tape from Minneapolis' E-Tones.
***Special thanks to Shawna for this one!
Released in 1996, this tape is absolutely bangin.
If you're from the Minneapolis area, and you DJd in the 90's/00's, you most certainly bought records from Tony.
From being a Midwest rave staple to his residency at The Gay 90's, working downstairs at Let It Be Records, and then onto Vital Vinyl, Tony is Minneapolis House to his core.
A literal walking encyclopedia of house history, he was the "go to" guy for track IDs when I was cutting my teeth in the 90's, and he had a knack for not only pinning down the ID, but also pulling a used copy of the track from under the counter, on multiple occasions!
His mixtapes played a huge role in furthering my love for house, and are up there with my all-time personal favorites.
***Tony is re-releasing many of his classic mixtapes, and they can be found at his online store (link below), along with his personal artwork!
