Sound Factory Tape Tracklists

July 10th, 2007 by RJJNYC

These are tracklists for most of the Sound Factory tapes on the main Scientitian webpage. Several people on the Junior Vasquez board helped out a lot, particularly HouseMuzikLvr. Noel on the oldskoolanthemz board also posted comprehensive tracklists for the tapes. There are still some guesses and missing IDs, please drop me a note or post a comment if you know them and I’ll update the lists.

Edit 1/2/08: Thanks to members of the DJHistory, tune ID & Discogs boards for additional IDs, and Colin & el bucko from the Southport Weekender board for solving the persistent mystery of the Black Cuban Opera track on the Junior tape from 3/15/92.

    I have been searching for some old skook house from 1990-1993 for a very long time. I have a couple of cass. from back in the day. I really want to know if you can provide some for me. frankie was one of my fav’s, I used to live 1 block from the sound factory in SF for many years in the early 90’s. Please help me with some music. Peace

  2. brian Says:

    i would be more than happy to help if with some tracks from 90-93…have some great ones…let me know

  3. RJJNYC Says:

    Hope you also followed the link to the main site: http://www.scientitian.com/mixtapes.html

    They’re all the mixtapes I have from back then, wish I had more! Deep House Page also has a huge archive: http://www.deephousepage.com

  4. SVS Says:

    Oh man, the Robert Owens mixes are on point. They took me back to my high school years in Baltimore and my early club years where alot of those songs where played and sent me into a frenzy on the dancefloor at clubs in Baltimore like Fantasy’s and Paradox.
    Is there a track listing for these mixes? If you have a tracklist please post it. Keep up the good work and thank you again for posting these mixes.
    GOD Bless,
    SVS

  5. RJJNYC Says:

    Glad they hit the spot, SVS, great to hear about those days! I’ve read that the Paradox had a fierce sound system.

    If you have myspace, you could also drop a note to Robert Owens:

    http://www.myspace.com/robertjowens

    - that’s how I got in contact to ask if it would be OK to share the tapes, and it was very cool of him to say yes.

    I’ll add track lists for them to this post, although they’ll probably be a lot of gaps to start with (I’ll try and fill in the blanks over time).

  6. SVS Says:

    I will definitely drop Robert Owens a note. Thanks for the heads up.

    GOD bless.

  7. RJJNYC Says:

    Hi SVS, sorry for the long delay but I finally got around to adding my best shot at the tracklists for the tapes. As you can see, I haven’t done that well! I’ll try asking for help on the DJ History message board and will fill in the blanks if I can.
