Additions to a best of Rheji and Ronald Burrell list:
BME Project - Dancing Through The Night. Great song, basically pop. Could've been a radio hit.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q_og4n-ldP4
Houz Neegroz - How do you love a black woman.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9Rwd8F7BOEU
Houz Neegroz - All night long. Sadly, this isn't online, but it is worth the search. More upbeat than the last one.
Grey Areas - Fire. This is pretty simple. Just a riff, basic house beat, vocal sample... for the perfect groove. The Burrells could be about as musical as any of the great house producers of that era but they could also do simple things.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ybBnj7UxL4U
Metro - Journey Through The NY Underground EP. One of their several NYC theme records, this is pretty dark and rough sounding. Not that different from the subway, I guess. Looks like this is the same record as $1.15 but with 2 more tracks. Straphanger is scary sexy.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZvVm1utlnAs
NY House'n Authority (best name ever or what?) - Restoration / Renovation EP. Theme record about urban renewal. I wouldn't say that any tracks stand out too much but it's solid Rheji.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ANFdVfy-CJU
NY House'n Authority featuring Burrell LP. Kind of a crappy LP to buy because there's 5 songs on each side, but good luck finding the CD. One side has vocal tracks with 5 different vocalists. Not my flavor. The other side has 5 instrumental tracks, each about NYC landmarks (including the WTC). They're all great. As good as any of the Burrell NY theme EPs. Varied styles, moods, sounds. This one might be the best:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ezN0MSemeTc
Phase II - Reachin' (NY Mix). A smooth NY Rheji mix of the bombastic NJ classic. Worth the search if you want to chill with Phase II.
Tech Trax Inc - Tech Trax Inc. Song about itself, embracing the spacey Detroit influence that so much of this NY stuff showed. It builds and builds, and the melodies are as good as any that came from the Burrells. And one big wormy bassline.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Xb7Wo065MQ
Utopia Project - File #3. Techy track in the same vein as Tech Trax Inc, this one has an AMAZING bassline. Great for mixing the bassline over something else and then waiting for the chords to wash in. Especially new stuff, because no one does drums like this anymore. When people hear them, they know it's on.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eUkiaB26BP8

This is a bit of a longshot, but I have an ID request for a melodic house track (as played by Dinky last night, who was totally on fire, I might add) characterized by pattern of strings (which were something like half a bar in length each) with a female vocal snippet every 4 bars saying something that sounds like "don't let me doooooown" but isn't really decipherable. Thanks.

i like "file 2" from that record best
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6ZFGcoe_58o
such a satisfying snare sound. you're completely right that nobody uses those early 90s digital drum sounds anymore
the jazz documents record is the one though

you gotta love how audacious all those brass presets they were using back then sound now

Okay, few more questions:
Anyone know a track that samples Is it All over My Face that isn't the one by Dajae (I think) that is mostly based on looping "over my face"
And where does that "Go on an' get you some more" sample come from? I also invite people to list tracks, more prominent ones and otherwise, that use it.
Thanks.

I'd wager that 50% of classic house samples are from that song.

Thanks. You've put many months of curiousity at rest.And yes, it's funny, it almost sounds like a collage of classic house fragments in some weird reverse sense.

Only slightly "of the past", but anyone got luv for Dan Electro - Bite the Hand that Feeds LP (Robsoul)?
http://www.phonicarecords.com/product/view/65416
The most thorough, full-on gospel house release I've encountered yet. Stupid deep, with some broken beat bits thrown in too. Been impressing me for some time, but I never hear anything about it. Thoughts?
― SSS, Friday, 1 October 2010 18:08 (thirteen years ago) link
hadn't heard that before, sounds good. I recognised a sample or two from Geeez N Gosh. Dan Electro sounds more dancefloor obvs.

Dear people with a knowledge of dance music history leagues ahead of mine, if you have any comments on the role of HIV/AIDS in disco/house circles and their reactions to it, and don't mind commenting on it in this thread, I would appreciate it.

Sure everyone's heard these (and visited percussionlab) before but I'm just glutting myself on the classic X-Mixes streaming here:

proud owner of all of those x-mixes
saunderson and garnier's are the bomb. dave angel's not as good as it looks on paper. dave clarke's was epochal at the time but sort of tiring now. dj hell's has really really great stretches but also a middle section that bogs down a bit. the first half is gold though.

I really rate the John Acquavia x-mix (bizarrely coupled with a Hawtin mix on the same disc - also good but I prefer his Mixmag Live). This was a time when prog house and techno could happily exist side by side - top stuff.

Sometimes you've got to love bookstores that know fuck all about anything that's not indie rock for putting gems in their dollar bin.
Scored this gem (among other things yet to be listened to, but which included two Phuture singles) for $1.

Hello - I'm interested in delving more into non-rave, non-electro early-techno stuff. I know the names - Kevin Saunderson, James Stinson, Jeff Mills, Drexciya etc - but not the releases. Basically I want to know more about the stuff Azari & III, Soul Clap and Art Department are getting their ideas from. Also, the kind of sound that informed The Other People Place album.
I've got a bunch of things - couple of compilations including Flux Tracks, Warp Classics, Soul Jazz' Acid. But what else should I get?

I don't know what most of those new references are, but you can look for the original compilations. Techno: The New Dance Sound of Detroit and Techno 2, as well as the Transmat comp, Relics. Warp Classics but also Warp Influences, different volumes.

new collection of unreleased virgo four stuff on rush hour is kinda mindblowing, though i'm not sure i want to throw down for the 5 lp box set with twice as many tracks as the cd version - http://www.rushhour.nl/virgofour/
― a lagoon par la mer (psychgawsple), Thursday, 3 March 2011 23:05 (thirteen years ago) link
I bought the iTunes version. It all SOUNDS great but maybe a bit too demo-ish. A bit boring at times. Some tracks using similar or same sounds as the released stuff. Sometimes the stripped down/demo quality is good, and some of the stuff w/ minimal vocals is cool, but definitely not something I want to pay a million dollars for to get that gorgeous vinyl box. Not yet at least!
― dan selzer, Friday, 4 March 2011 01:00 (thirteen years ago) link
'Thats recent though, right? Last couple of years?'
Feels like a life time ago tbh... depends how on techno you are I guess. Its only getting older at any rate.
I've not seen many other people playing it for years so I guess its old.

Mark Kinchin appears on Techno Two with Mirror, Mirror, not my favorite track on that comp. Of course it's competing with Psyche - Elements, Octave One - I Believe, Reel by Real - Aftermath, for starters.

from the comments...
this was re-recorded at metroplex as my first release. the original was recorded in 1989 at kech's(strand313) grandfather's house on detroit's eastside. nothin' but a moded roland 303, mt32 module, 909 and lousy sequencer. wish i had the mixdown from the cassette tape!!!

Marc Kinchen was an amazing remixer before he decided to shift into hip-hop/R&B at the end of the 1990s. He went from being a "buy-on-sight" name to not having his name anywhere. Wiki says he does in-house production for Will Smith now. Youtube everything with MK Dub, MK Mix, or Marc Kinchen in the title.
BUT he doesn't really have much to do with what Dog Latin is asking about. My recommendation to you, DL, is to imbibe whatever makes music sound the best to you, listen to the video below, and then keep youtubing. You won't go wrong.
