Techno/House Bobbins of the past

This week I've been reminding myself of the awesomeness of Stacey Pullen's mid-90s work as Kosmic Messenger. Somehow superior to the Silent Phase stuff? Maybe it's just timing and he learned how to bounce as he switched from SP to KM. Not everything is brilliant of course (though I'd kill to get the full comp of KM tracks regardless) but what is more the bomb than "Eye To Eye", "The Death March", "Flash" and "Get Down"? Epic like Carl Craig of that era but if it's reflective it's only reflecting on how to make yr ass move.

In the past there was snow and today there is snow again, a reminder of the cyclical nature of genial feelings

Got a cab down the A56 and the driver had this frankie feliciano record on, good man

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ywAtN_Auax4

there are many phil weeks records out there, here is one i found left in a pub a few years ago, dug it out again the other day

acid jesus, sitting on the couch, and who could blame him

"i know that feeling"

Wasn't Acid Jesus an early alias for Alter Ego? Or was that Acid Scout?

its roman flugel

I think Acid Jesus had the other Alter Ego guy too, Wutke or whatever he was called?

Okay, I checked it, and Acid Jesus was indeed Flügel and Wuttke. And Acid Scout was Richard Bartz.

I never made this connections back in the day, I wonder what it'd been like if we'd had something like Discogs.com then?

^^ I often think that. Each release had it's own simple magic. I used spend hours reading Jocky Slut on raining afternoon in WHSmiths to inform my Soho record store jaunts..

Ricardo De Meneses peeks behind the curtains after a long electro sashay on the A55 and just look at the resulting vibes, hats off!

the magic of the fa cup lives on

and thats on the wrong thread!

^^ I often think that. Each release had it's own simple magic

this is still true i think! is unchanged, especially when you have a lot of records and a bad memory!

never heard that particular blue maxx one but i've always been a big fan of "relay" and "unicorn" ... was just listening to this fumiya tanaka mix the other day and he uses "relay" brilliantly

https://www.discogs.com/Fumiya-Tanaka-International-DJ-Syndicate-Mix-3/release/11575

coincidences abound

i have been listening to juan atkins wax trax mastermix the past few days

https://www.discogs.com/Juan-Atkins-Wax-Trax-MasterMix-Volume-1/release/3001

Young Marco's Safe Trip label is releasing a compilation called Welcome To Paradise: Italian Dream House 1989-93.

The label describes 'dream house' as a uniquely Italian sound inspired by the likes of Larry Heard and New Jersey deep house—the result being a "head-in-the-clouds" style with "rich chords, tactile basslines, fluid piano lines and starry electronics."

basically I am 100% on board with a compilation that has room for "Last Rhythm (Ambient Mix)" and "Holy Dance (Large Sound Mix)"

Paid £40 for that Leo Anibaldi track 18 months or so ago. Everything gets reissued in the end.

definitely picking up that safe trip comp

yeah that sounds fabulous

this old friend popped in my head today on the bus. its a reet tune for the bus

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yze9BNxSuRI

which leads to...

I've been riding my pedalo to work recently and been playing this brash fellow

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TNwomEuInYE

I dont know how I missed this Roy Davis Jr record before, fantastic!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wDOpQNhZ-nI

and this Jichael Mackson record, bit of the ol' hatstand

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dDEUdX1rul0

wow, 3.28 onwards, thats the ticket! Imagine that on the Fabric system!

I didn't! I've no idea where mine is...always the way

I may have posted this chris Mitchell track before, but i forgot about it and now its expensive

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5QBY6Zw6P4s

For some reason I never knew this Herbert remix before

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XfC5MNt7Rj0

ooh re: webster time to pull this gem out of the shelves

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KHdVQ1hG6nI

gosh!

Charles Webster is underrated. So many good songs across various aliases and remixes for others.

Definitely, especially currently probably as things take a moodier turn. great producer!

and i had forgotten that lo:rise just posted above was him too

found this dusty old banger at the bottom of a bin today

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k639feKl6u0

having only known him from his tracks on workshop i had no idea that marvin dash had been around so long!

also found this dj q remix i'd never heard before (not the ineffable dj q, the other one)

http://soundcloud.com/mightyatomrecordings/lovejuice-k-town-jazz-dj-qs

i didn't pick it up because it was 2002 but maybe i should go back tomorrow and grab it, seems like a good tool to have

Ahh, Marvin Dash. I got this jam for a few dollars back in my first few, largely naive, years of DJing. Glad I held onto it long enough to appreciate.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ddfpKiBlOrk

hi five!

loved this marvin dash tune back in the day, i played it everywhere i djed for a long, long time. still sounds good!
