Techno/House Bobbins of the past

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.

Thanks!

Armando has seriously been just kicking my ass in the last few weeks.

It is a shame he dies so young, he was only 26. No one really works a 707 like he does, the only guy who took it further was Larry Heard.

i went through my armando discovery period beginning last year this time and he spent like nine months as my absolute favorite house producer. you should definitely check out this hip-house track he did as the chicago bad boy. like most hip-house, the mc is no rakim allah, but it's got a MURDEROUS bassline that everyone will rock to, and then the synthesizer begins... house music all night long!

house music all night long (armando's club mix) feat. gershon jackson: http://www.sendspace.com/file/wmj78l

A few more Monologue House Picks:

Bobby Kondors - The Poem
Project 86 - Legends
Marshall Jefferson vs Noosa Heads - Mushrooms (Salt City Orchestra Mix)
Derrick Carter - Where U At? (and it's various versions/derivations)

armando's music is criminally hard to find though. he made 4 lps for trax in the 90s that are out of print and offline. as far as i can tell, they're only available on some dodgy russian mp3 sites, if you have a credit card you don't mind canceling immediately after use. if not, you might be able to find the trax classix cd sampler on slsk. there is still a whole lot of his catalogue that i'm still searching after though.

Shackleton feat. Jackson del Rey "Next to Nothing" has a pretty good monologue, although it's not that far in the past and isn't house music. It's a creepy song though.

romanthony - the wanderer

Sweet Pussy Pauline is one of the ultimate house monologues. Josh Wink's version of that track is a killer (can't seem to find it on discogs unfortunately).

I am loving this right now:

Thanks for putting up that Armando track. I am loving the bit nicked from the Wee Papa Girl Rappers.

which bit is that?

oh from heat it up, "it's like that, yeah!" thanks youtube.

i should have guessed

i have an obvious track id request. i've heard it out scads of times, it's a classic. begins acid house, breaks down into a voice repeating 'ecstasy, ecstasy... ecstasy, ecstasy', then goes into repetetive, tuneful synth strings... eventually back to acid, repeat structure ad infinitum. anyone??

joey beltram, energy flash?

duh, yep. my ailing brain

Anyone know the last tracks (the last 2 main ones, I guess) on "Detroit is Jacking! The Techno! Megamix" on the New Dance Sound of Detroit comp.

There's audio here. I'm guessing the high pitched string line and the vocals are from different tracks.

Record shopping in Ann Arbor I picked up Audio Werner's "OnandOn," the second set of "Lovelee Dae" remixes and this early Ongaku record, with Fluegel, Heiko Schäfer and Pascal FEOS on it: http://www.discogs.com/release/87514

Does anyone else own Part II of "Lovelee Dae" remixes? For some reason the labels on my records are black, not red as they're depicted on Discogs: http://www.discogs.com/release/6226 Anyone else?

was waiting for someone to revive this thread.

i've been buying alot of george morel records recently, love how his best tracks just streamline these perfect grooves and do little more than bring in a sample or two, or transpose the bassline or something. he mixes really well with recent stuff.

also on a strictly rhythm tip got "witch doktor" by armand van helden which is fucking awesome - such a ridiculous, stupid track! ditto the hardrive ep with deep deep inside on, every track is just great. strictly rhythm releases must've been great value for money

can we talk about the fk1 ep by francois k? i knew him well for his 80s remix work and all that but slept on his 90s house stuff for ages. anyway, i've had this for a few months now but still can't stop playing it. every track on this ep is a work of genius. the track that samples the kecak monkey chant has some astonishing mixing going on, no wonder violator sounds so incredible. i initially though that "hypnodelic" and "mindspeak" were pretty standard up-front detroit-y house tracks, but again after listening more carefully the stereo mix is practically alive with ear candy. the best track is "moov" which is some of the most beautiful melodic dreamy techno i have ever heard, it has a very epic yet understated feel, and again the production and sound design is brilliant.

there's a real acid feel to these tracks, as in, if you listened while tripping, it would be a fine line between bliss and completely doing your head in

this Kenny Larkin 'The Chronicles' collection sounds great, should've paid more attention to this guy

even though it's kind of all over the place sample-/construction-wise, i'm loving "sex 4 daze" by lake eerie right now

Chronicles - Is that the Rush Hour re-issues or something else? love this guy.. Metaphor was pretty much my introduction to 'good' techno.

Sex 4 Daze is great, the Nu Groove 4 CD collection gets a lot of plays in these parts. Lost Entity - Annihilate is this weeks fav..

Xposts. I passed up on buying the Onandon 12" (which I only just realize now is supposed to say on and on) years ago, and here I am now Onandonless while it now remains one of my favourite tracks.

Yeah, the Part II of those "Lovelee Dae" remixes is an absolute corker. (I've got the 2x12" version in a silver sleeve; they did a LOT of editions of the mixes in different combos, from what I can tell.) The Friends Experiment (Michael Mayer & Tobias Thomas) is probably my fave; been playing it quite a lot this year, actually. You can get all the mixes off Beatport as well...

Can't get enough of this one recently: http://www.discogs.com/release/42952

Since chances are it's probably not new, and I'm desperate I'll repost this: I had the always-a-pleasure experience of seeing Vincent Lemieux last night, and anyway he started with this really fantastic, sunshiney house track that went "any day, any time, any way, any how" etc.Anyone know what this is (and not just for my sake but everyones, it's fantastic).

Also, listened to Kalabrese - Auf Dem Hof earlier today and it (the whole 12", but especially the title track) is one of the most majestic pieces of music I've heard in a good day or two.

there is no thread devoted to The Black Dog :[

inspired by listening to Balil 'Nort Route' just now, another giant for those 'saddest house/techno ever' list threads
