Had some luck ID'ing a couple of other tracks on here via Dogs on Acid forum, so giving this a go here as well, hopefully track down last 2 of these that I've been trying to hunt down for the last, well shit... 26 years now I guess? 'kin hell...

If not actual ID's any pointers in terms of artist to check out that might fit the bill etc will also be massively appreciated, many thanks

They are from a mix I recorded to tape from a DJ set at a house party in Durban, South Africa circa 1997. Ripped from that original tape which is well battered now and was never great quality recording to start, mmmm the hiss tho, I still love it...

Here is the rest of the tracklisting to give an idea of the styles played for context, mostly atmospheric/liquid/jazzstep/'artcore' dnb and a few tech step leaning cuts, all from '94 to '97 (most of them from '97 actually) so far nothing later than that so reckon it was recorded '97 for sure if memory serves (at a push maybe early '98 but feel like it was def 1997)
