Love Stasis.

And B12 for that matter.

B12's AI LP Electro Summer is an all time favorite. One of the few techno LPs I listen to regularly.

jungle wonz sample? sample of sample perhaps

I love Statis too. I've been listening to some old UK house stuff recently.

How's the rest of the stuff on that comp?

There is some good stuff on there. The Charles Webster tracks are on point, he's got such an outstanding back catalogue. Both the Trevor Loveys ones are good and Omid 16B's Secrets, which I totally love is the last track. I pick a lot of this stuff up for £1 or so in second hand stores in London. Some good CDs and Vinyl are still to be had, pretty cheap.

really nice, thanks

on a uk house tip I've been listening to a fair bit of Azuli lately. loads of releases so it's very hit and miss but when it's good it's very good

I have 2 interesting insights on Red Planet:

1) that Mad Mike created Red Planet to support his mother financially

2) that this is a Red Planet reject: http://www.discogs.com/UR-Dark-Energy/release/9103

Thanks for posting the mix, Downloading now.

wouldn't surprise me, Mad Mike seems like a good dude

tho he has never actually owned up to authorship of the Red Planet records yet, has he? i rather like the idea of the Martian as this anonymous collaborative entity, there's enough auteur worship in techno as it is

I always heard it was collaborative, like they weren't all done by the same person?

yeah hence "anonymous collaborative entity". the credits on the vinyl specify who collaborated on each track but it's assumed that there is one main guy acting as The Martian on each release. plus there is def a unifying sound to these trax. idk maybe i'm wrong here...

the tracks on the cd comp are credited to a Will Thomas, though he doesn't appear to have done anything else so could be a pseudonym for Mad Mike or somebody?

found this by accident today...what a great track

Xpost: Wow. Any other example of amen break house like that?

a la rescue me?

there's this

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cUpBJB6Ms0Y

that isn't the best example, but i'd check out the various releases:
http://www.discogs.com/Marty-Thomas-Resurrect-Me-Lift-Me-Up/release/23991
http://www.discogs.com/Marty-Thomas-Resurrect-Me-Lift-Me-Up/release/116012

i must say, tho, that the Tom Moulton mix of that track is fucking UNREAL awesome. mixed it with Kenny Bobien once and i turned some people to jesus.

Remembering Darryl - Chicago House Legend Darryl Pandy Passes Away

;_; http://vimeo.com/2608028

Came here to post that, too. Sad.

RIP.

And in other news: Kenny Hawkes RIP. Had some good times at his Bar Rumba night in London.

Sad news about Kenny Hawkes. He reminds me of an era of UK house along with pirates like Girls FM & labels inc. Luxury Service

RIP Kenny. A brilliant guy.

Any other example of amen break house like that?

tons...

BBC Radio 1 did a one-hour special on the history of the amen break--the guy narrating it is pretty annoying but it's interesting: http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b011nyd1

hi, i'm trying to ID a famous (possibly a classic) house track that has this saxophone. i'm sure it's well known but somehow it escapes me. i heard it played by derrick may. anyone can mention some major house tracks with sax? thanks.

The Conversation has to be the most famous...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BaexdnKWB5c

yea that's the one! thanks.

What about 'The Story Continues'? That's the version of I Called U with the sax...

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

My favorite thing to do is to layer Why'd U Fall and The Story Continues... people scream like Indiana girls at a 1964 Beatles concert when I do that.

a bit before the heyday of house and techno (1982), but i forgot how great this is:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WesfD4OZFl4

Xpost: Yeah, I remember elsewhere you mentioned that cutting between the two works really well. I even tried it on a computer (sadly having not one, let alone two copies of it), and, I can believe that done right, at the right time, it would be bigger than jesus.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eKLPdhwb08E

heard this recently for first time recently can't remember where tho

also been playing this a lot again recently - not a fan of the original but love this version

really nice tune...

great mid 90's german house tune i took a punt on in a charity shop - 3 solid solid tracks for £0.50p

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jt5oLtKpDtw

http://www.discogs.com/Horseshoe-Horseshoe-2/release/78000

Anthony Acid - "Doe, Doe, Doe" (1993)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fkLnwscYMqs

Brutal Bill and Anthony Acid - "It's Got Me in a Spell" (1990)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JtTW0X4MUhU

finding anything on cabinet records for 50p would have made my day. The compilation from a few years back is solid.

i just found my copy of this

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7hAQT7wlb6o

oh man, and i just found my copy of this! this just made my day

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YJERMOQS5v4

i had never heard of cabinet - but it was on red vinyl, german production, 1996 - so thought it was worth a wee go ! one of the guys who produced it records as Slope on Compost/Sonar Kollektiv and i've got a few of his from the early 2000's that i really like too which is nice

I wonder how I've never heard of this beauty before:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l8uUAYz60dM

I think that's his biggest other than Promised Land?

this is another good joe smooth, esp if you like your chicago house depeche-y and melancholy

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NX4ydrlds0c

his album is worth picking up, it's cheap everywhere. pretty funny cover of "purple haze"
