The Juice XM Studio
The Juice XM Cosmic DJ Squad has rotated new mixes in that will take you back, waaaaayyy back. Latest post was mixed by Gyra (no idea where he is now) back in 1992. These were the days of The Edge Nightclub hey day in Orlando, FL. That's right, this one has tunes from the O-Town early days where DJ's like Icey, Kimball Collins, Andy Hughes, Baby Anne and Sandy were starting to drop all the funk.

For the internationl Juice fans, Orlando Florida was where the now greats like Sasha, Digweed, and PVD were commanding the wheels of steel before the internet boom in the early 90's! Get your Real Media Player ready, or download the full mix if you have the bandwith. There is also a new link to our Podcast (Beta)! (Hang in there if you have any technical difficulties, we really do care). [JuiceXM]
