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.

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.
― brotherlovesdub, Monday, 15 March 2010 23:21 (fourteen years ago) link
still unreleased though, eh?
― dan138zig (Durrr Durrr Durrrrrr), Monday, 15 March 2010 23:22 (fourteen years ago) link
i think it came out on a white label. easy enough to find online. the mp3 is all i need.
― brotherlovesdub, Monday, 15 March 2010 23:26 (fourteen years ago) link
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!!

i think it's pretty trite to put "the wanderer" over the top of a martin buttrich track and release it and get paid for it. especially as there are already plenty perfectly good club mixes. i know this is hardly unheard of in house and techno music

i guess it's the fact that people are buying it that annoys me. it typifies the lazy conformity that seems to pervade much of european dj culture at the moment

I have serious doubts about the Ragas reissue. Kudos to the producer is that is really from 1982 but I am skeptical.

I don't think it sounds that different from other proto techno/house stuff from the early 80s and late 70s (like E2-E4 or "Rock Groove Machine" by the J.B.'s) that it should be considered a fake. The only suspicious bit is that he seems to have discovered the acid sound in TB-303 way before DJ Pierre & co, but since they came up with it by just fiddling with the machine, it's not inconceivable someone else discovered it and put it on record before them.
― Tuomas, Monday, 5 April 2010 22:49 (fourteen years ago) link
spot on Tuomas.
I'll admit, I was ecstatic when I found out about this a week ago, especially as it seems like the obvious sideways move that would have occurred amongst the composers working within Bollywood's disco obesssion in the early 1980s.
Checkout this Nazia Hassan (produced by Biddhu) track, also from 1982, which is a solid, faithful rework of Moroder/Summer's I Feel Love: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ead-K_q5QNs&feature=related
There's a whole bunch of these tracks I've been slowly collecting - each playing with the imported disco-sound (someday, I'll write a piece on my Hiniditalo obsession); so no surprise that disco in India when detached from the song/vocal-led form gave way to tracky house/acid - just like elsewhere.

While we're talking about proto acid house, check out this tune:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=udS9seorVz4
It's from 1979, so obviously it doesn't have an 303, but the way the squelchy, modulating synth is played throughout the whole song certainly sounds like what acid house producers did with the 303 later on. The album this is on (Groove Machine by The J.B.'s) has a proto house vibe all over: it's all about the steady 4/4 beat and relentless groove, and the vocals and horns on it just repeat the same short lines over and over again, without variation, as if they were samples. (I assume that in some cases they actually are samples, i.e. they just recorded one bit and looped it over and over with whathever technology producers were using back then.) When I first heard that record I couldn't believe it was from 1979. So I was wondering, besides being the godfathers of funk and rap, should we credit James Brown and The J.B.'s for laying the seeds for house too?

I had never heard Hanna (warren harris) before this week and I have been enjoying his track from 2003 "about you" a lot. I wonder if the album is good too, it doesn't seem to be for sale in mp3 format which is a shame. I wonder how much a record player would cost I don't really have room for one unfortunately but I guess I could keep it in a cupboard and bring it out when i need to digitize vinyl
Also been loving the kenny larkin mix of eddie flashin fowlkes 'deep pit' ever since I heard prosumer play it a few weeks ago
