Techno/House Bobbins of the past

Fuck this is an incredible selection. The Jackmaster Curt is amazing too.

I can kiss goodbye to finishing GTA this weekend now...

i am perhaps the only person on ilm who cannot stand anything i've ever heard from Tiga?

I certainly can't.

OK, I totally adored his essential mix when it came out, and indeed it is a very fine, tightly mixed 2 hours of electro tinged techno, but it sounds kind of dated now, and I've moved past that sound myself. Everything he's ever produced himself I've found to be embarrassingly bad.

YES!. i was actually talking about this with some friends the other day, and they couldn't understand my loathing. then again, they're more noobs to the dance scene than i am, and are still enamored of electro, so it makes sense.

more noob than you?!?!

^^^awesome

Man, I love/hate youtube channels like those.
They make me want to buy too many damn records! Either I spend way too much $$ on ebay and discogs and whatnot or I just get pissy because I don't have all of these records that I desperately need in my life.

This just got repressed:

if they reissue the biorhythm comps my head will explode

for real tho...

i bumped a juan atkins thread 4 u

who wants to sell me a vinyl copy of <a href="http://www.discogs.com/release/144385";>crustation's "flame"</a> (with the mood ii swing "insanity dub") -- or, barring that, hook me up with a 320 rip?

heard vince lemieux play this at a quebec countryside afterparty last week, and it was one of the most perfect pieces of deep house i'd ever heard...

oops, sorry for the bad formatting...

Funny, I've been looking for a vinyl copy of Law of Grace by Soul Capsule, or a 320 rip (and haven't got one yet), which was brought on by hearing Vincent Lemieux play it to finish off a Piknik Electronik (playing the whole track, unmixed, in it's entirety, as an encore of sorts), and it was one of the most perfect pieces of deep house I'd ever heard. . .

I did see a copy on ebay, for like $150 or something way beyond the usual $7-8 I'm used to. If elan is reading this, I'd like to take up the offer mentioned on the melchior prod. thread from from like 9 months ago about the 320 mp3, (this 174 one isn't cutting it for me).

Moral of the story is Vincent Lemieux's DJ sets will change your life!

i have only a 205 mp3 (sorry dude!). here it is for whoever wants it: http://www.sendspace.com/file/q7n6ub

philip, yes that crustation remix is one hell of a record. terry francis opened his 1998 bbc ess. mix with it and it really sets the tone very nicely. can't help you out with a copy however :(

Xpost: Rats, but thanks a lot though!

sometimes, you just have to save up your money like a kid for a bike.

you can find "law of grace" on the aspect records comp that came with the first melchior album

r1o otm. That's where I got it. I could hook up a 320/wav copy if you wanted to DJ with it.

Xpost, yeah, I know.

Where I find that, though (other than online, as this is more a question of wanting to actually own it, being a favourite track of mine) is the issue. Although I'd still appreciate a 320 version to listen to (it wouldn't even be used for DJ'ing, but just to get the most of it).

I ordered the first Melchior Productions album from Amazon, actually. http://www.amazon.com/Meaning-Melchior-Productions/dp/B00029CXN6/ref=pd_bbs_sr_2?ie=UTF8&s=music&qid=1213216508&sr=8-2

Even though it's mastered kind of quietly, it's a great two CD set that is a must own in my book.

And I'll hook you up with the full quality track when I get home. Feel free to remind me, though, if I forget.

that album is very good. unfortunately, the cd does not include the song 'never give up', which is lovely.

Hmmmmn. I should get a credit card maybe?

i would get a job.

i don't think african vocals will ever be played out

- the table is the table

Can you s/d, c or d, rfi and generally recommend me some house/techno with african vocals or instrumentation? Thanks.

Yeke Yeke ("Afro Acid" Mix)is amazing ... and would definitely freak my parents out.

Anyone posted this up yet? It's on BBC Radio 2.

The Definitive History of UK Dance Music

Zoe Ball presents the story of UK dance music and its development, as told by some of the biggest names on the scene.

Programme 1: From casinos to warehouses - 1970-1987

We start with the seventies and US Billboard magazine naming the Wigan Casino Best Disco in the World, ahead of New York's infamous Studio 54. Then the story moves on to the eighties and its emerging soul scene.

The programme explores and contextualises Jazz Funk, Hip Hop and early house, and highlights how these forms were the pre-cursor to 1988's dance music explosion.

Programme 2: Explosion - 1988-1993

This was dance music's finest hour and a milestone in the history of UK youth culture.

The impact of the first seminal clubs - Shoom, Future, The Trip, Land of Oz and The Hacienda - created a media furore not seen since the emergence of punk.

Although there were subtle but important regional differences in sound, the same spirit was found in the clubs of Glasgow, Stoke, Cardiff, London and Bristol.

Raves moved to bigger outdoor venues, culminating with a three day event for over 30,000 people at Castlemorton in Worcestershire.

Programme 3: Underground, overground - 1994 to the present day

In 1993, dance music reached a critical mass. The Criminal Justice and Public Order Act of 1994 effectively outlawed raves and so the ravers became clubbers - and moved back indoors.

Dance music became big business; Ministry of Sound began to expand its empire - from clubs through to a record label, radio and TV stations. Radio 1, which had ignored it, now had a variety of dance shows on offer.

Featuring contributions from Sasha, Russ Winstanley, Pete Tong, Ian Levine, Fabio, Jazzie B, Norman Jay and Paul Oakenfold, as well as songs from the early days of dance right through to the tracks of the last ten years.

This is a huge favorite of mine:

I just dug out this Villalobos-set: Sunrise_Event_Mamaia_18_08_2006 and the two songs that follow "Join in the chant" in part 3 are both out of this world mindblowingly good, the first one might be called Freaky/phreeky D/ beat or something similar, then the second one that starts around 6 mins which is possibly the single best thing ever I have no idea. Anyone have any clue what they are?

On another note, the Dionne - Images track that's on the recent Shed mnml ssg podcast is also the single best thing ever.

looks like monolake's hongkong finally got remastered.

minus one of its best tracks...

omg, did you know that 'time reveals' got a reissue last month? no shit!

saw this at record store, did not cop. anybody?

most of those artists only appeared on that cd, according to discogs. the others are all adam douglas. you dig adam douglas? seems like that atom heart "compilation / retrospective" to me.

i like this deeper than space album

i was ogling that cover... my desktop pic is an earthrise from the moon so i always check twice when i see that sort of stuff. what's it sound like?

mmmm ... early 90s ambient?
