Seattle Dirk and Z-dog DJ Mix mid 90's Breakbeat House

[Res1s7]

Hi, my first post here !

I recorded this mix off an internet stream to cassette tape sometime in 2001. I'm especially interested in id'ing tacks 3, 6, 8, and 10.

The other tracks were identified, after much effort, using Shazam. But the remaining one's refused to be identified in that way and a lot of further research turned nothing up.

Full mix can be downloaded here (http://files.michaelzfreeman.org/Seattle%20Dirk%20and%20Z-dog%20DJ%20Mix.mp3). Also as a FLAC file (http://files.michaelzfreeman.org/Seattle%20Dirk%20and%20Z-dog%20DJ%20Mix.flac).

Ha, well. Mixcloud just identified (https://www.mixcloud.com/michaelzfreeman/seattle-dirk-and-z-dog-dj-mix-mid-90s-progressive-breaks-house/) a single track @ 40 minutes in to the mix that I was not even interested in ! :rolleyes:

So anyone out there ? I still think these are very good tracks. High quality. Fir example track 3 has complex percussion and a well written piano anthem. I suspect it to be a major track ("major" to me is lots of comments praising it as a classic or at least note worthy on discogs) such as the AHH - Yummy! one. So why do these tracks fail to identify ?

One thing I'm looking into is how to programmatically retrieve ALL the tracks with low scoring matches using something like pyacoustid. I suspct many of these tracks do match but are too low scoring. For example I sometimes get false positives to tracks with a synth stab similar to the track.
