Origin:
On June 22, 1996, there was a large rave called "Organic '96". It featured Loop Guru, Chemical Brothers, Meat Beat Manifesto, Orbital and The Orb (with others).

What made this show unique is that it was broadcast on "The World Famous" KROQ, hosted by Jed The Fish and Jason Bentley.

I went to this show, along with my friend Ken Spector. Even with his Cadillac dying, and us having to rent a car, we still made it in time to enjoy all the acts.

While we were enjoying the show, my Mac was recording the radio broadcast (tuner > DAT machine > Sound Designer/Mac). When I got home, I cut up the show, removing all the commercials. I archived the resulting five hours and ten minutes of music onto three DATs, and filed it away...until now.

As far as I can tell (via Google searching), only part of The Orb's set has even appeared anywhere. No one seems to have the entire broadcast.

While I try to figure out a way to offer up a five hour mp3 file that doesn't kill my bandwidth quota on this server, I am offering the world this mix. When the Chemical Brothers played this live, I was on the rail, staring at the black and white flashing image of John Lennon from Yellow Submarine, as the bass smacked me around. I was so damn happy to find that this was broadcast in full, and that I succeeded in recording it.

For me, this was one of the absolute highlights of the Organic '96 rave. Now, you can enjoy it too, in both mp3 and CD-quality FLAC (taken from my 24 bit, 48k sample rate DAT capture). Enjoy!
