Intro to the 1st 4 tapes: During the mid-80's, The Wizard (a/k/a Jeff Mills) THREW DOWN Saturday nights. Using house, techno, funk, hiphop, oldies, newies, clips from movies and cartoons, there's only one way to describe his unique style... take a dj, tie him to a chair, put his record crates & THREE turntables where he can reach them, shoot him up with crystal meth.....and watch him BURN! Spectacular intros and drop-ins over a FRANTIC desire (he's downright SCARY sometimes!) to get to the next record almost immediately, using ingenious blends and cuts galore. The Wizard was simply splendid and NOT to be missed! Here are four VERY rare examples of his exceptional skills! And don't miss the goodies we offer AFTER the Wizard block. Don't SLEEP on this shit, people! Truly breathtaking, and some of the best mixing i've ever heard!
