Happy Kid Marty - I’m Going To Go Back There Someday (1998)
Classic Mixtapes, House, Melodic Trance, Prog. House, Prog. Trance, Trance
It’s really a shame Marty didn’t record more mixtapes. His styles are varied, his taste is spot-on, and his mixing is flawless. He was just the kind of DJ I couldn’t wait to hear more from, but alas, after the “red” and “blue” tapes were released simultaneously, we never did.
I remember in the cassette sleeve for this mix (which I’ve long since lost) Marty said that if the red tape was his soul, this tape was his heart. Even without that explanation, it’s easy to hear that he poured himself into this one emotionally, going so far as to include a Kermit the Frog song on the end of one of the sides. While the mix gets a bit cheesy for my taste in spots, it still ranks as one of my all-time favorite mixtapes. In fact, my favorite song from the tape is an exercise in cheesy build-ups, but I love it so much I’ll still spin it from time to time. I’ll post that one too.

Can you identify the first track of side A for me? I am so in love with that song!!
Thanks!
I’m 100% certain it’s on the Platipus label, though I can’t remember the artist or track. It’s gotta be circa 1997-98. This gives me a great excuse to go listen to some classic trance. I’ll be back with the answer when I find it.
Here we go… It’s the Clanger remix of “The Colours” by Art of Trance.
