Techno/House Bobbins of the past

Good find Sam500.. Mark Broom's mix of Morgan Geist's Pushed on the Pushed Ep is awesome..

Thanks mmmm, haven't got to Disc 2 yet but looking forward to hearing that one!

"i just don't see the input and participation of young people as anything that will change house and techno music."

Their lack of input will certainly change house and techno music!

Panthers - Goblin City (Holy Ghost! extended disco dub)

This is good it's got a real nice 54 disco flavour with dead eyed post punk vocals Rush guitar parts. Gets progressively more skinny tie as it goes on, in a really good way. Reminds me a bit of Gray.

That's one I wanna hear.

Thx!

Maybe young people aren't old enough to have their own sofas that people can stay on yet

Pffft. If kids start listening to house and techno, how is it ever going to fully die off and attain total mythical status for people to make claims of fame to? That being what we all want, anyways.

Music?

plastic dreams

All right, pipecock, you clarified yourself a bit, and I now understand what you're getting at-- waiting or hoping for some sort of youth injection into the movement IS kind of idiotic. At the same time, though, I think that you dismiss a bit too easily-- a lot of kids who are into house and techno might leave it a few years from now, when they get married nd move to some tony condo in Carroll Gardens. But another group of kids-- in addition to most older people who are in the scene-- got into techno and house when they were young and have stayed, or have never left.

Thus, while your argument is a sensible one, simply dismissing all young kids who are into house or techno is not only alienating to them, but is also incredibly short-sighted-- you were once an 18-year-old freaking out to "Detroit Classics and Techno Diamonds," too.

a lot of kids who are into house and techno might leave it a few years from now, when they get married nd move to some tony condo in Carroll Gardens.

And this is WRONG!

love this story about armando
KEVIN STARKE: "There was this one story that I always talk about. I would go on Saturday nights when Armando played at the Warehouse. I would go down there to watch him play and talk to him, just find out information on records. He'd always show me records when I didn't know what it was.

"Saturday night at the Warehouse was primarily a black night. There weren't too many white guys. But I remember this - he looked at me one night, and said, 'Watch this. This is the record I'm going to play and mess these guys up.' And he showed me the record: 'Smells Like Teen Spirit' by Nirvana. I'm thinking, oh, they're never going to dance to this. They're going to get pissed!

"These people lost their minds. People went fucking nuts. That guitar riff - people were dancing all crazy. That's when I kind of looked at it like, okay, never say you can only play this kind of music at this kind of a club. Never say this type of people only like this type of music. You never know. Once you've got the crowd, they're yours."

an armando project! yes

i think that 100% of disin u and house music all night long are some of the best house tracks and i just go wild when i hear them.

"get up and keep your hands in the air to this!" you know it's on when you hear that!

he died @ 26 :(

'land of confusion' is where its at

kstarke is the best kind of store owner, way enthusiastic and personalizes the experience of shopping there for u. I kinda get the impression he can be something of a hustler about the records sometimes but you'll also get pretty good odds of finding some gem for real cheap, i got that 'my people' eddie kendricks record for like 7 bucks there once

Deej, which store are you talking about?

http://www.myspace.com/kstarke

I visited Mr. Starke's store in February (after having purchased some stuff from him on ebay), and I have to say I completely agree that his enthusiasm and the selection were top notch. He seems to be a really genuine guy who loves what he's doing. His store is up there with Mr. Peabody as a required stop when I'm in the area.

just gotta say this thread, a few inches of posts aside, is just about my fave thing on ilm right now! keep on keepin on!

I bought Kevin Yost's Night Of A Thousand Drums ep recently.. Might try me some Bongo Madness any tips? The one with Flight Plan is already on the list.

been really digging the first Abacus record on Prescription as of recent.

does anyone know, actually, if he's still doing prodcution work?

okay he still is and is still the shit.

found a used copy of "love's arrival" today, listened, and put it back. why didn't it click?

album is about as smooth as it gets

i like 'where life begins'

Not really that old (2006), but I was very pleased to find, two days ago, a vinyl copy of Alexi Delano and Xpansul's Intelligence Reframed EP on Plus 8, That "Echolocation" is a doozy of track if there ever was one.

i think my favorite smooth heard track is that 'just another lonely day' by blakk society feat david hollister ...

This is one of the most beautiful albums of the 21th century. It has the soul comparable with the great Marvin Gaye, the smoothnes and intensity of Miles Davis, the funkyness of Prince and the groovieness of, well Larry Heard himself, when he was at his peak, back in the early 90's. "Missing You", "Until the last goodbye" and "Praise" are among the finest work Larry Heard ever made, and are three of the most beautiful songs of the century. "Dew drops" is a funky little number made with some nice sounding analogue synthesizers. "Riverside drive" and "Direct drive" takes you back to the 80's sound of Manchester and Ibiza. I know that a lot of people missed this record when it came out, thinking that Larry Heard never again could repeat the soulful intensity of his earlier work, so please do yourselves a favour and get this record and start believing again...

^^ really?

That guy also has The It album in his wantlist though so you can't trust his taste...

i tried listening to 'loves arrival' on my train ride home from work tonite and about 1:30 into 'dew drops' i switched to Z-Ro

i would say it wasn't bad but it sounded ... extremely smoothed-out. i like the subtle differences between "introduction", "sceneries not songs", "ice castles / sns2", "alien", "dance 2000" etc. "love's arrival" sounded like you threw all those in a pot and blended together over heat until it turned tasteless.

it felt really bad not to buy it, though. like i was giving up on a hero. sort of how i felt when i sold "tiny reminders".

You know, I haven't been able to stop playing Parage since I got it. This is one record that's gonna get worn out. Srsly, every moment of this is perfect.

Got some serious bobbins yesterday--

- Freestyle Man vs. Morris Brown- Smoke City EP
- Frankie Knuckles featuring Nicky Richards- Keep on Movin' 12"
- Earth People- Dance 12"

and i finally got the francois k mix of "go bang," which i always wanted on vinyl.

anyway, i am pleased, especially given the fact that Amoeba doesn't have listening booths-- the Freestyle Man ish is especially jammin, i think.

and i finally got the francois k mix of "go bang," which i always wanted on vinyl.

So. Jealous.

that FM double 12" is something of a used bin staple inexplicably, as it is deep as f*!

yeah, i'm really into it! could mix with many good things (did it with moodymann a couple minutes ago).

Dollar Bin Jams been posting some serious house awesome as of recent...
