Yeah that's weird about "Dem Young Sconies" appearing at Hardwax. Do they sell bootleg stuff? I mean there is always the chance that Planet E re-pressed it I suppose, but I would think they would've used one of the Planet E Classics labels or something rather than the original label like they're showing on the Hardwax site.

hardwax sold the sharevari repress, which was rumored to be a bootleg, so who knows?
― elan, Monday, 17 March 2008 19:10 (sixteen years ago) link
i'm all for bootlegs of shit that never gets repressed, though (like sharevari).
― elan, Monday, 17 March 2008 19:11 (sixteen years ago) link
True and the "Sharevari" boot just feels very different from a bootleg of an active label that has even been re-pressing some of it's "Classics." No judgement in these statements (I got both the "Sharevari" and "U Can Dance If U Want 2" bootlegs) just wondering.

i didn't know there was a bootleg of "u can dance"
totally awesome

a bunch of DYS 12" appeared at the Planet E booth at DEMF 06 (i think it was) along with the original Designer Music 4 track EP. DYS was $5, DM was $15. i got em both as each was amongst my most wanted Planet E's.....

All the more proof that it's really unacceptable that I've never made it to DEMF. I keep trying to convince my wife that it would be a great vacation.

is this the right place to ask about forever sweet-- namely, is anything else they did as perfect as "bleed"? does other ladomat stuff sound similar?

"All the more proof that it's really unacceptable that I've never made it to DEMF. I keep trying to convince my wife that it would be a great vacation.
it is a great vacation. i bring my wife and my younger sister with me every year. at least 20 of my friends go up every year from pittsburgh as well, not even counting all the people i know from around the world who show up. its as good of a time as you can have if you like dance music.

That'd be the problem. Wifey loves dancing but doesn't like "dance music." It only takes about 30 seconds of any synthetic beat of the thump-thump-thump-thump-this-is-going-to-be-a-dance-song variety and my wife gets extreme anxiety. She loves Depeche Mode and plenty of early 90's poppier house stuff but can't stomach a moment of "true" techno, even something as gorgeous as "R-Theme" or "Dominas." I know, it doesn't make sense to me either.

My bf and I went for the first time last year and hope to make it a tradition. He is not into dance music/music in general as much as I am, but he's willing to indulge me and has family in Michigan so it works out. It is our one chance each year to hear this music in its "proper" setting (i.e. not between a pair of headphones or blasting from my car).
― lou, Tuesday, 18 March 2008 20:22 (sixteen years ago) link
Yeah, I'm pretty much asked to keep the beats in my headphones.

No, 151 is the best cut on the record. I got real lucky because the guy that owned it only played Fantasy Girl(marked three stars on the cover) and never touched the rest of the LP.
The Fingers tracks are interesting because they sound like demo's of Washing Machine. I don't know, but I would guess that they were alternate takes from around the same time. The rest of the album varies in quality. The Phortune track on the b-side is the only other thing that stands out.
One other unrelated thing, the Dem Young Sconies records are legit. There must have been a few boxes of planet E records that got lost because my local store got a grip of old common factor 12"s. They were in the PE sleeves with the custom sticker and had the PE91-98 xerox catalog included. They are either new old stock, or they were bootlegged by incredibly detail oriented pirates hell bent on losing money.

fantasy girl... you mean 'dream girl' by pfantsay club? i think that larry heard had this song heavy on the brain when he wrote 'the sun can't compare'.

i recently got that version of fingers 'can you feel it?' with robert owens singing on top - didn't know this version existed before but it's on that Legends Of House comp doing the rounds (same thing I got the Saunders and FJF tracka above from).

― winston, Sunday, 30 March 2008 19:49 (sixteen years ago) link
very much enjoying dj laflèche's two discs of banging uptempo progressive house for the turbo label (circa 1999?)
highlights include an amazing sequence on "montreal mix sessions vol 2" that start's w/ the incredible MFON's "ron hardy's revenge" and ends w/ twilight (aka roger "s-man" sanchez's) "i want your love", which of course samples the chic song of the same name. taking in, along the way, gene farris, cevin's mix of arthur baker, robbie rivera's fab 68 beats project, and some obscure but banging tribal dudes i've never heard of
highly recommended for fans of trevor rockcliffe, blake baxter, danny tenaglia, etc etc
― moonship journey to baja, Monday, 31 March 2008 02:49 (sixteen years ago) link
all those turbo mix cds were dope as hell. The Tiga one was great (both discs! one proto-electroclash and one really banging techno one!!!!) as was the Adam Beyer Stockholm mix session #3. I really wish there was more stuff like this around these days.

Laughing at myself on this one. That night I was listening while preparing dinner, and I honestly thought the A side had a really incredible locked groove. Upon listening with headphones last night, it was actually a very impressively placed skip right near the end of track 2 on the A side. It really did make quite an impressive loop.
