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?
― barieling cosder chout a fagh in a ballme thrantuman (dog latin), Thursday, 3 March 2011 20:10 (thirteen years ago) link
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!

'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.
― jimitheexploder, Friday, 4 March 2011 02:08 (thirteen years ago) link
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!!!
― dan selzer, Friday, 4 March 2011 02:34 (thirteen years ago) link
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.

Dog the three contemporary artists you mention are all much more house than techno so it's hard to say what sound you're looking for? Like I'd be recommending Steve hurley and early Larry heard rather than Detroit techno...
― Tim F, Friday, 4 March 2011 09:44 (thirteen years ago) link
Thanks. I guess I'm interested in both techno and house (from what I understand, the further you go back, the more those styles become pretty much the same thing, save geographical differences). Coincidentally, there's a Guardian article out today about early Chicago house http://www.guardian.co.uk/music/2011/mar/03/chicago-house-music-uk-audience

Only if you're assuming that today techno = 150 bpm blitzkriegs and house = kylie, They were still pretty distinct circa, oh, 1987.

Tim, I'm not really assuming that. I'd previously read (probably on ILX from someone I assumed knew what he was talking about) that the only real difference between the earliest house and techno were where they came out of (Chicago/Detroit). But there must have still been some differences even then. Anyway, I'm out of my depth so I'll take your word for it.
Never could get into early techno/house before. I always had that Warp Classics comp and used to find that stuff more 'LOL primitive' than truly enjoyable (even though I used to love Tricky Disco and LFO when I was about 10). I'm feeling this now though. Nothing is tingling my ears more than a well placed 808 snare break. I've managed to get hold of the Warp Influences now, so that should tide me over for a bit. Thanks for all the suggestions people.

Azari & III - Hungry For The Power (and suggest me some similar stuff) is not a bad thread for recommending older stuff in the vein of Azari & III, as far as I can remember.

I know I've taken part in this discussion/argument a bunch, but I'm not sure how distinct house and techno really were in the mid/early-late 80s. I mean, listen to Washing Machine and Wargames then listen to Good Life and let someone guess which is chicago house and which is detroit techno. Or compare Jamie Principal to Blake Baxter.
