If I was forced to pick only 3 tapes to listen to for the rest of my life, this would be in there. Damn, I don't even know where to begin with this! The story goes that Koala made this in 1996 and popped it in the cassette player during a car ride with DJ Food and others. He was promptly signed to Ninja Tune shortly thereafter.
This mix is a testament to creative turntablism; a magnum opus. This tape taught me the art of really digging. Koala would go on to release multiple insanely creative productions.
Listen, I've been to A LOT of shows, but the Koala shows have been some of the most fun and memorable. If you hear of Kid Koala playing in your area, FUCKING GO. And if this is your first time being exposed to him (lucky you), seek out his entire catalog - it's essential!
