Today, we bring the motherload.
Helter Skelter. Around 1300 mixes. 91-03. Added Masters @ Work, North events, Club Kinetic events, and Deja VU.
Probably the most known, and loved rave to have been in the UK. Helter Skelter Will Never Die. Much love.https://t.co/nZTtxHcmCS pic.twitter.com/URcXKGWE0N

A X/Twitter user has uploaded thousand’s of sets from 90s events like Dreamscape, Helter Skelter and more online. The archives can be accessed on Google Drive and Dropbox although, as the poster points out, they can crash temporarily due to the sheer amount of downloads.
Back in the 90s, events were recorded on a master cassette, then reproduced as tape packs, sold in independent record stores. This was later replaced by CDs and USB drives before it became standard practice to upload recorded mixes to Soundcloud and YouTube.
This means the sound quality on early 90s sets can be rather poor but don’t let that put you off. The chance to listen to Fabio and Grooverider, Carl Cox, Jumping Jack Frost and countless other pioneering DJs more than makes up for any audio issues. Here’s a few of those online archives with thanks to @DorkSirjur
