Vibealite & Pleasuredome 'United States Of Hardcore' - 05.10.1996 - Drum & Bass

[djkryptonn]

Drum & Bass tapes recorded at Vibealite & Pleasuredome 'United States Of Hardcore' on 5th October 1996 at Fantasy Island.

I'm not sure if there was a Drum & Bass tape pack released, but there are bootleg single tapes from the event. If anyone has any info on a tape pack or other single tapes, please let me know.

 

Tapes:

 

Mickey Finn & Darren Jay

Andy C & Swan E

 

Note:

There's a happy hardcore pack from the night, tracklisted here - https://www.rolldabeats.com/forum/index.php?/topic/63700-united-states-of-hardcore-happy-hardcore-8-pack-05101996/

There's mention of a techno pack from the night here - https://www.rolldabeats.com/forum/index.php?/topic/70180-vibealite-events/

I can't find mention anywhere of a Drum & Bass pack though.

I think this might be from the same night.  I've never heard the rest of the Andy C set or any of Swan'e but the selection from Andy fits that date and they all appear on the flyer for the 5th October

Good find. I'd say it's got to be from the same event. Like you say, the tracklist fits the date and both DJ's were playing in arena 2 that night. I've just come across a Billy Bunter / Brisk tape with the same style inlay on ebay as well. Both of them were also playing in arena 2 that night, so it looks like there's a few of these bootleg tapes out there.

Here's the tracklist for the 15 minutes or so that we have audio for:
