Techno/House Bobbins of the past

HEY GUYZ.

after some searching, it seems that Spencer Kincy AKA Gemini had been filing Torts/wrongful injury claims against the Department of Defense, the CIA, and the US government as late as September 2008.

so he's probably still alive, somewhere in Chicago.

i'm having a friend look up the cases to see what's up.

Oh dear, that doesn't sound good, even if it's nice to to know he's still alive.

yeah. i mean, if he's still alive and filing what probably amount to specious, schizinspired suits against the government, he at least has enough presence of mind to FILE those suits in the first place. which means he might have enough presence of mind to allow someone to put out a discography of his amazing amazing work, as long as he gets credit and $$$.

that sounds badder than an original trax pressing

yeah. too bad!! waiting to hear back from Westlaw-enabled friend.

i have a great song to ID: http://www.zshare.net/audio/7093378329d257cd/ played by todd terje. thanks!

thanks, man :)

I'd been nostalgic for the Time to Get Ill tapes for a while, and it looks like someone finally got around to uploading them and a whole ton of other stuff. Dunno if anyone else is interested in mid-90s Baltimore rave sounds, but if you are then here you go:

Got Kerri Chandler - The Thing For Linda EP for about $2 a few weeks back. Just got around to listening to it.

Excellent!

I love that record. Moving In is a wonderful piece of music.

just got this today

http://www.discogs.com/Claude-Young-One-Complete-Revolution/release/32745

every track is just mindblowing. hard to believe this music is 15 years old

even though i find it slightly embarrassing that i can barely say anymore than "i like this record" about techno, we should keep this thread going

someone do a search and destroy for fragile records

i cannot stop playing this song recently

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8e03z3f3vb8

so perfect

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2PB8B98nL_A

You also can't mess with In Sync from Fragile 03. I couldn't find a youtube clip from the Fragile pressing.

^^^yes just recently got into that fade ii black. such a freaky tune. what other jay denham is good? dude's got a ridiculous back cat

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pnYatj79ZB4
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FLMekdv5T98

And of course this:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uM2It3WbXGk

man all those network issues are such a god send. seems like that label pressed alot of records

xpost

of course "acid eiffel" is amazing. i've got a different pressing though, on fnac. "78" is a really good tune. never heard the soofle track

Jay Danham is a weird dude. He was right there for the second wave and then he got sucked into crappy hard techno as the 90's progressed.

This is kind of dope in a Detroit obscurity sort of way:

I also liked it when Transmat released trance records as well. This kind of reminds me of Transmat licensing 3 Phase:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LvD5Esq2kAY

love that early 90s breakbeat techno sound. not the simon reynolds nuum type whatever, just that laidback groovy shit like this:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LRQqs1DSV6s

that was re the above jay denham track btw. listening to gilgamesh for the first time now, verynice

oh yeah, i LOVE that bango track "mystical adventure" from the virtual sex comp. how is the other bango ep on fragile? looking like i should basically just buy everything on fragile at this point

I couldn't tell you to be honest. I don't own any of the Bango records.

It is so easy to find digital versions of old dance vinyl that you might as well dig around for the whole catalog and figure out what you want. Fragile was a good label, definitely worth looking into.

Retroactive was pretty bananas label as well. A lot of it is rare as hens teeth and super expensive, but it is really good. Carl Craig ran it with Damon Booker before Carl split to run Planet E. The Placid Angles record is dope early John Beltran shit, Carl Craig's stuff was good, Mark Kichen's record was dope, and the Inertia record was some of Gerald Simpson's best deep techno stuff.

I posted it up thread, but if you are into the early breakbeat stuff that wasn't corny, you might want to look into this record:

http://www.discogs.com/Intelligent-Communication-Principles-Of-Motion-EP/release/98217

It is still stupid cheap because nobody knows what it is yet, but it is really good. It is one of those records that is just waiting to be dropped by the right name and it will be worth a lot more. I think when ambient house comes back it will be fashionable again.

yeah well obviously i could spend hours upon hours researching labels on youtube and buying records on discogs, that's pretty much all i do anyway. and obviously i've already looked into fragile records. just wanted to talk about some music i've been feeling lately

it's amazing how easy youtube makes it to buy records now. however, i spent a good couple of hours today in some record shops and only came away with one record - somehow i kept thinking "best leave that and check it out on youtube first"

Where are you shopping for records?

RA Poll Top 100 tracks of the 00s: a youtube playlist.

Bobbins ahoy.

I love those psychofuk records - but what is the story behind them? is it true that sean deason produced them and then someone ripped him off and released them as psychofuk? one of the releases sounded really like deason's 'the shit..'

i've been revisiting the Kompakt back catalog. for some reason, "Take This" is EXACTLY what i want to hear all the time right now.

I should reiterate, this is an absolute monster of a record, sets a standard for exactly what a 4 track (house) EP should be and do.

Also, the first CD of Frictionalism is down, and it's like there's a party in my ears and everyone's invited. Thank goodness for Rush Hour and its relevance for early 20's ignoranti like myself.

re: Kerri Chandler - The Thing For Linda EP

it is great! in my experience, Kerri seldom misses. i played the jazz sample track from that 12" at my last DJ night.

saw danny wang play this last night and it was so awesome i handed danny my cell phone to type what the track was.

wtf at dixon's "edit" of "the wanderer". so tacky

i've just discovered this since it's got reissued. what can i say, a perfect house LP if there ever was one. http://www.discogs.com/Virgo-Virgo/master/85697

Dixon's edit of Dance Dance Dance by Lykke Li is fantastic though.

still unreleased though, eh?

i think it came out on a white label. easy enough to find online. the mp3 is all i need.

the innervisions shop had a 12" with the lykke li track on one side and 'the wanderer' on the other.

'the wanderer' itself got reissued last month, get that instead!!

how is it tacky? it doesn't sound all that different from most of the og mixes.

the drum programming is bad. the vocals are unedited, i think.

i thought it was okay before the percussion came in. nvm

I have never heard of Virgo but am a HUGE fan of late 80's/early 90's house. Totally looking forward to checking this out.
