Techno/House Bobbins of the past

hm, that link didn't work.

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...

also that Earth People's pretty classic but there oughta be a S/D on Pal Joey in general and his Loop D' Loop label in particular.

^ I thought all music was in the above. Then I went to a party the other week and heard music perhaps as good but I don't know what it was. Next week maybe there will be even better! If not it doesn't matter, I will have a happy time

Dance is awesome but the dub is better. It's got that almost "bouncey" for lack of a better term, break.

I dj'd with Pal Joey once to a room of about 15 people. He was great.

Do you like Fanica Luca Dan?

I think i come to plastic people next week!

HOT MUSIC

wow

After all these years I finally fucking bought a copy of Concept 1.

Daniel Wang rant has me hooked on Black Boots and Sine Waves.

Whoa. Listen to the "experimental dance track" on this page:
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/entertainment/7512072.stm

by Delia Derbyshire, the BBC Radio Workshop programmer of the Dr. Who theme. I don't know if this is from the '60s or not, but if it is, it certainly complicates the question of techno's "origins." As a movement, it may have been born in Detroit, but this is further proof of the diverse array of the roots of the structure itself...

Detroit biters, ripping off Derbyshire's soul.

Someone on DJ History has posted a d/lable version of this.

not that we really needed it surely. cool stuff tho. xp

Wow, that is really cool. Delia's one of those pop mavericks I've never really explored properly. An interesting voice for sure. The little vocal snippet at the beginning is super cute.

got a link? i can't find that on djhistory...

oh fantastic!

wow. that's terrific. thanks for sharing the link.

I remember one of the booklets that came with those early 90s Volume compilations had a humourous article about origins of different electronic music genres, and the entry for "techno" read something like, "created while composing the soundtrack for the Original Dr Who series". I guess they weren't too far off.

And of course the Dr. Who Theme is responsible for the B side on this. Which is surprisingly like you'd imagine it to sound like.

From her obiturary: "What we are doing now is not important for itself, but one day someone might be interested enough to carry things forwards and create something wonderful on these foundations."

After all these years I finally fucking bought a copy of Concept 1.

How was I to know there were TWO different versions of this, and alas, I got the richie one not the brinkmann one I wanted :( Had I known I'd have gotten the remaster which has them both anyways.

In other news, after seeing Mossa's live set at Mutek, I spent weeks trying to find out what this track was (in awe of the fact that in 08 he could make such a great sounding 90's pop-house epic). Only yesterday I discovered it was in fact produced by Louis Vega in '93. What relevance this has, I don't know, but I've been listening to it since.

* great 90's pop-house sounding

xpost. Not to mention this CD is in good need of a remaster.

the brinkmann one is quite boring.

if i had to pick one to keep, i'd keep hawtin's

that deep inside is a barbara tucker vocal i believe

that song would be great even if it didn't have the drums - the bassline and vocals would suffice

Yep, that Hardrive is a classic mehlt. I'm sure you've discovered this by now, but it was repressed last year: http://www.discogs.com/release/992839

Hmmmn.

How about this?

must buy or passable?

I've listened to the Carl Craig remix, which is good, albeit could benefit from being shortened by about 40-50% or so.

MUST BUY

Oh, I fucking BOUGHT the Deep Inside remix 12" and it was kind of ill, and on a drunken night, it got mixed up in all my friend's records, and I haven't been able to find it! Such a bummer.

Also, bought Playboy's "In Da Jungle" on vinyl-- should be arriving in the mail soon. Excited about that one.

is that the one that goes "deep deep in the jungle ... the drums"

I got the remix of it off your blog, yeah, it's a certified banger.

xxpost: will do.

yeah moonship, that one.

Playboy just arrived, and it is some of the heaviest shit I've heard in a while. The original is floor-shaking, and the 'Outside Expedition' mix is totally wild tribal techno. Also, the Modwheel Safari remix that I posted from the blog just goes into a locked groove of birds and animals at the end. Excellent.

/MUST BUY

Very good call!

Also, found that Hardrive 12" yesterday-- "Stormy Weather" remix of "Deep Inside" is awesome, deep and techy...other two? not so much.

Hooray. I found myself a copy of this today. So that's something for me.
Also, the record store had a copy of promised land by Joe Smooth in, but it was the album and not the 12" single (with full length mix of namesake track), but it was a bit too $ for me, alas.

Also can I get a S/D on what for lack of a more descriptive term I will call 'monologue house'. Not just vocal (read proper singing and rhyming and all, or hip-house). Stuff in the vein of Le Roi and Roland Clarke - Get Deep. Old or new. *I heard a track out a few weeks ago that was great, but can't at all remember how it went, a guy with a kind of slurry delivery not too unlike eric sermon, said something about brooklyn, and at some point answered a cell phone (which I guess means probably from 00's) and laughed.
Anyone have an idea what that track is?

Armando--"Don't take it", has an awesome female vocal monologue thing about how "this is the eighties" and women can be whatever they want and don't have to let men walk all over them.

^^^^^^^^^ yeah this is great. i heard it at gramaphone the other day have and have never been so mad at myself for being out of a job

(its expensive)

This is also very worth your while, and likely much cheaper:

I also picked up a boot with a pretty killer re-edit of Downfall last weekend. I don't have a discogs link at the moment.

that's the record they're talking about. it's for sale for less than $10 on that site.

gramaphone is overcharging >:(

a better armando monologue track is "world unknown (md house mixx)", from the land of confusion remix record.
