Description
The Mental Groove Classics series makes a triumphant return, offering a true treasure trove of rarities and elusive gems from the personal collection of Olivier Ducret. A key figure in the Swiss acid house and rave scene, and founder of Mental Groove and Musique Pour La Danse, Ducret revisits the pivotal years at the turn of the 1990s, when he was organizing parties and raves in fields, warehouses, squats, and forests around Geneva, while running the Mental Groove record shop.
Unlike other local scenes at the time, which leaned towards trance or garage, Ducret and his circle favored a bass-driven, break-heavy techno sound, inspired by their regular trips to England. This fourth volume continues this work of memory, gathering tracks of almost mythical rarity, unfairly forgotten gems, and classics that left a lasting mark on the Swiss rave landscape.
More than just a compilation, it is both an autobiographical and historical document, capturing the euphoric energy and creative freedom of an era when musical boundaries dissolved in a surge of carefree optimism. The visual identity is designed by Mark Wigan, an iconic artist of British club culture and co-founder of London’s Brain Club.
