1999.10.29 - Renegades - Unknown Souljah + Alien L Natural Night

Unknown Souljah and Sniper.  It's the night of rare appearances.  Unknown Souljah absolutely slams it down on Side B too, you are going to keep coming back to his set again and again.  Iron Lung right into Ghost Busters, the '99 business doesn't start much better than that.  Sniper spins the Sniper business and L Natural is occasionally hot on the mic.  Another standout thing about this tape is the recording quality.  I'd been taping shows for a while but this tape sort of marks the beginning of everything really coming together.  Reception from Toronto to Grimsby is good and the tape and receiver settings on the Luxman hi-fi were optimized.

The tape starts in the middle of a song, the last track of the 1Groove.com's 11pm-12am DJ.  Back in the day this live podcast would start at least an hour or more before the 89.5 FM radio portion of the show with some up and coming DJ's.  Even thinking about it now I can appreciate the effort that must have taken in 99 when there was no widespread high speed internet yet.  I think today we take it for granted how fast internet is sometimes when back in the day a stream like this probably would have prevented you from doing much of anything else with a regular dial up connection.
