A new compilation highlighting the influence of seminal 90s London afterparty Telepathic Fish is due to be released.
Spanning 10 tracks, Telepathic Fish: Trawling The Early 90s Ambient Underground features some of the defining tracks from one of the parties which came to define post-rave chill-out events in 90s UK rave culture. Among the featured artists are Nightmares On Wax, Aphex Twin (under his Caustic Window alias), Global Communication and Mixmaster Morris (as Irresistible Force).
Physical copies of the release will come with a 20-page booklet documenting the history of the parties, and taking in photos, artwork and various other visual memorabilia.
Telepathic Fish was founded in London in the early 90s by Mario Aguera, DJ Food, David Vallade (who collectively hand-selected the tracks featured on the compilation) and the late Mira Calix, with assistance from Mixmaster Morris and Matt Black. It ran until 1995, often setting up at house parties or in squats in the UK capital.
