I just finished listening graeme live at cybertribe 95. I remember when this guy used to be on nearly every flyer in the SF rave scene in the 90's. Anyone know where he's hiding out now, was thinking of the possibility of booking him.

Thanks~

    Graeme was my "first favorite DJ", mostly because I had a friend that was hooking me up left and right with his tapes. Are you familiar with his Live @ Futur I and Futur II ("Digitaria") tapes? His performance @ Harmony 2 year was around the same time as Cybertribe, so many of the same tracks were in there. I loved how you could hear the crowd noises on that tape ("woooooooooo!")

    In fact, I was desperately seeking track names for many of those records in the late 90s. I ripped RealAudio samples from the tapes and posted them alongside my wants list online in the hopes I could get some IDs. While my desire to spend Too Much Money snapping up used copies has severely waned, I'm still kinda curious to know the names. If anyone DJing during that era wants to give it a whirl, the samples are STILL kicking around out here:

    Yes Graeme............good times but no Idea. As for Ernie ....good times Ernie at the end up along with many old favorites. As for Astral Matrix what was there 12" they gave me many moons ago OOBE.........I thought they were still around.........And Moonpup I saw him in LA about 8 yrs ago He is probably still playin somewhere. Have not thought about any of them for many yrs. Ernie use to be my neighbor in SOMA oh but those were not such fun times. I would imagine he wants to stay away from SF. Good Luck Ben Im sure you will find those tracks somewhere it seems that if you have snippets of them some odf the old school boys at tweekin or primal might know.?

    Hi Folks,
    your search has ended. I am still alive - now living in France. I quit Djing back in 2000 mostly due to the death of the Rave scene coupled with a new generation of kids that wanted a simpler -more in your face- style of music that I was not willing to play and a reemerging club scene that didn't want to hear anything left of center. I have many fond memories of the S.F scene and having Djed all over the U.S and Canada I can definitely say we had it the best. It is nice to read so many comments and memories. If I can, I will try to get some of the old tapes digitized- I have a few(Spectrum 3 &4) that never came out because of the death of the tape and the arrival of cd and therefore (ahem!)copyright issues - and I will figure a way to get them to you. Thanks for your comments,it is great to be remembered.
    Cheers,
    Graeme

    For those who might be interested I will be uploading mixes for your listening pleasure through Mixeeba. I will try and upload as many as I can Including the Live at Future tapes. For now you can download Spectrum 3 and I will soon add Spectrum 4- both of these were never released.
    I mostly released live tapes ; the Spectrum tapes were more for the head than the feet which may be more appropriate for all you geriatric ravers! Best wishes to all ,hope you enjoy the music. Dj Graeme Spectrum 3 www.mixeeba.com/

    i remember a couple Graeme's... graeme la pai.. (sp?) and graeme... not sure which was which anymore, but i remember the funky techno tribe one most. they were close. i remember a story he told me once about playing a rave and having some dope mix going on with his headphones on and at the peak dropping the mix into what he thought was the new track... and the whole room (DV8) stopped dancing becuase the music stopped while the mix was perfect in his headphones and he just kept dancing a while... lol.

    anyway... i wanted to share this link with you old folks..
