I would start with the Disco Juice comps on Counterpoint. Lots of great Patrick Adams productions: http://www.discogs.com/release/581837 http://www.discogs.com/release/581847 It seems many master tapes from the era are lost or disintegrated and rights are confused, so decent comps of 12-inch

Does anyone else have the System 7 Mysterious Traveller comp. with all of the Derrick May remixes? If so, is the version of Icon on there really the Montage Mix? It sounds just like the version on my Transmat Icon/Kao-tic Harmony 12-inch repress. Thanks, Jake

Yeah, I think they're wrong about that since Virtual Sex was available on CD. I don't trust anything from the Transmat Innovator comp. since it's all strange edits. I think what probably happened is May put the Montage Mix instead of the Original Mix on the Icon vinyl repress, but I don't

I caught Rhythm Sound in Chicago, and I thought they were great. Their set was in the tradition of Jamaican sound systems, hence the lack of mixing. I'm pretty sure there were a bunch of custom edits. They were playing on a laptop with Serato. There were some really amazing riddims as they got
