Radio Fantastica





Radio Fantastica  was a 60 minute program put together by Exotica Lister Johan Dada Vis in the 90's and 00's.  On European radio. 
Johan wanted to share. Especially with other DJ's doing programs.


Dig around the links, Johan did some creative mixing, the program was compiled and edited on minidisk, a system that was essentially a gloried floppy drive offered by Sony.  According to the comments Johan offered his 63 programs as a CD package with linear notes and comments.
Thanks to Ton, Marc and Johan been able to obtain complete copies of  1 thru 29. And Ron Grandia will be passing me the rest of the set. He sent me the pictures of this CDr stash, pictures below)

About 4 years ago contacted Johan for the whole set and Johan was only able to collect 15 of his programs. They were in a bit a disarray.  My other source, who had all the CD's, well, those CD's have gone to rot! CD ROT

The archivist in me is really bothered about how fragile digital media really is. Less than 20 years old and these programs are almost gone? You would think anything on the internet is saved somewhere. Johan found a place to store his old Geocities work of extensive reviews and articles. 
But the programs may disappear? Or are already gone? If you have the shows contact me and lets spread them around. OK?
