Techno/House Bobbins of the past

Feel My Bicep put this up a while back and it's been in my brain almost daily since.

This was on Keytars & Violins yesterday - Kollektiv Turmstrasse - Elemental Pleasures. From 2005 but new to my ears.

Also, some blog (can't remember which one) linked to Carl Craig's Twilight, recently. I'd never heard that before in its entirety, may I say that it is a fucking amazing song?

Question mark.

man i never listened to biokinetics until just now, because back in the day someone told me it was "boring"

:/

biokinetics is awesome and also readily available now!

=)

Really like Biokinetics, back when this came out it was all about Chain Reaction, Basic Channel and Pole for me.

Pole stuff is so good

Can we get Jens Lekman to vocal that Todd Osborn track asap PLEASE

ha! just realized the similarity. someone must do a mashup.

can anyone recommend me some abstract/raw/analog house like STL, Workshop, Ksoul, etc? thanks.

what was that?

did i hear you ask for some RAW HOUSE?

raw but on the slower side of things, like STL and Kassem Mosse

I mean Night Grooves STL of course, not his dub techno works

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.

Do you know Newworldquarium? Not especially raw, but definitely abstract and analog...

xpost: doesn't that track say "open up your mind?"

clarke: ah yes, I like NWA. definitely belongs to that kind of sound.

how come I had never heard of Jeff Mills' The Drummer EP? It's mighty good!

Lying completely motionless on the concrete floor of an aircraft hangar on the north Atlantic coast. Despite the hour it is blazing daylight. Milspec speaker system is playing Speedy J's Loudboxer at high volume.

really diggin this synth galore http://www.beatport.com/track/s-e-x-dick-tease-remix/3564004

wrong thread!

As I've just mentioned it on the 2012 bobbins thread - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FddV6WaGoKE

found the 2XLP a few months back. And not at the semi-ludicrous discogs prices for it.

they just reissued it

i think there's going to be a full reissue

oh man, all the tracks in this are ace: http://clone.nl/item24440.html

One of the many influential Dance Mania release is finally repressed! Remastered from the original masters of DM071, My Life In The Underground is a blueprint for raw underground House tracks. Jacking, bouncing tracks with an irresistible drive! Including Ghetto Boogie and Rubber Jazz Band. These tracks are standard repertoire in sets of guys like Serge and Omar S. 11 ghetto house bangers from 1994, co-produced by Jammin' Gerald & DJ Funk. Pure fire!! Now available for 100 lucky ones on a white label repress! Please note most covers have a split seam.

i think i only know the last two tracks, which were released separately. "follow me" was called "follow me ghetto" iirc?

anyone can tell me some essential books about dance music?

A few good ones that I've read:

Dan Sicko - Techno Rebels: The Renegades of Electronic Funk
* This is basically the history of techno in the US. Very informative on early developments of Detroit techno.

Matthew Colin - Altered State: The Story of Ecstasy Culture and Acid House
* Good, non-partisan look into rave culture and ecstacy use.

Jane Bussmann - Once in a Lifetime: The Crazy Days of Acid House and Afterwards
* You could read this as a partisan companion to Altered State. A sort of a "I was there" oral history and photo book of the British acid house scene in the late 80s and 90s. There isn't that much about the music, but it has wide variety of interesting and funny anecdotes told by various scenesters.

Chris Kempster (ed.) - History of House
* Extensive and informative interviews with pretty much all the biggest techno and house musicians and DJs around the time the book was published (1996). I think this is pretty hard to find nowadays, but maybe your library carries it?

Martin James - The State of Bass: Jungle: The Story So Far
* History of jungle and drum'n'bass up until 1997.

Ulf Poschardt - DJ-Culture
* This one is German and it's far more academic than any of the others I've mentioned, but if you're into that sort of thing, it has some cool theories and observations that none of the Anglo books I've read have made.

what about last night a dj saved my life? worht reading?

I remember liking it but it was years ago.

On the more disco side, Turn The Beat Around is good, also Love Saves The Day...I don't really remember either as it's been years, but I don't remember hating either! And Mel Cheren's autobiography "My Life and the Paradise Garage" is a pretty essential disco story.

i don't think anybody's ever written a book on techno i've really enjoyed but i've only read techno rebels, altered states, energy flash and dj-culture

possibly i should just write my own at some point

wanted to find the superior "zagzig jazz" mix of this but this is the best i could do. still, awesome tune

I tried asking on the 90s poll noms thread, and now it's too late for that, but can anyone i.d. the first few tracks on this mix for me?

http://www.modernmusicsf.com/audio/mixes/ScottHenry_FeverVol6_SideB.mp3

I found this incomplete tracklisting using the archive.org's wayback machine, but there really aren't many people talking about scott henry tapes on the internet these days.
