Fingers Inc. – Can You Feel It – 1988 [ Jack Trax]

Another super classic record from the legend Larry Heard. This one is based on the track that Larry Heard released under his Mr. Fingers alias on his “Washing Machine” record, which I blogged about here earlier. For this record, Larry Heard called in help from Robert Owens to do the singing. Shit, even Martin Luther King was brought in to drop some lines from his old speech “I Have A Dream”.

My copy is a mispressing that excluded the version where the speech from Martin Luther King is stripped from music.

Robert Owens is doing the vocals on the first track here on top of the music. I’m usually not very fond of vocal singing house tracks but this one is powerful enough to melt even my steel heart. And that’s because it such an exceptionally good track.

The second track is the instrumental version that I assume is from the original release on the “Washing Machine” record. I’m too lazy to compare so I leave it up to the trainspotters to decide whether it is or not.

Last track on this record is the famous Martin Luther King speech placed on strategic places on the “Can You Feel It” track. -Very nice idea!
This record is already placed amongst the top house music records ever done and it’s there forever forwards on.

Model 500 – The True Techno EP – 1992 [Network Rec.]

Detroit’s godfather of techno begin this record with a chilled ambient track with breakbeats on top of soothing string layers and bleeping sounds.
The classic detroit techno sound arrives on “Mind Changes” with it’s excellent metallic and bleepy track with deep sawtooth bassline and distorted vocoder speech and other male vocals spread out on it. The feeling you get is like if you travelled to a distant future with desolate and cold landscapes after the bombs has been blown off.
Juan Atkins’s arpeggio mood takes over on the last track, “Vessels In Distress (Prelude)”. It’s shares feelings and legacy from Giorgio Moroder of course but it also makes me think of Chris & Cosey’s “Walking Through Heaven” (even though it’s not exactly the same kind of arpeggio sequence).
The track is very effective and exciting with an excellent drive and with a melancholic feel at the same time. Wonderful arpeggio track!

This record should’ve gotten more attention than it has gotten so far because this is like a hidden gem. Perhaps the style wasn’t in fashion at the time of the release?
It was also released on Apollo records and the chance to buy this one for a reasonable price is high, so get your copy on the discogs marketplace while it lasts.

Glenn Underground – I Feel Dub – [no label]

So here we are again, searchin’ for the ultimate recycling of Giorgio Moroder’s arpeggio-driven production for Donna Summer’s “I Feel Love”.
Among the best re-adaptations I’ve come across is the two mixes available here from Glenn Underground (and probably Paul Johnson). I guess They didn’t put their names on the release to avoid being sued by the copyright holders. Both of the mixes is very well done and add extra nice pieces to the Moroder stuff. Mix 1 was also featured in this blogpost on the “Ripped In Glasgow” blog where it was included on another bootleg. Glenn Underground takes vocal bits from “I Feel Love” and mixes it with sounds from “The Chase”. Excellent!
Mix 2 is also featured on an earlier release I blogged about here. Strangely enough is that it says that version is mixed by Paul Johnson. Well, since this is practically a bootleg whitelabel, Mix 2 might very well be Paul Johnson’s take on it. Maybe it was a joint Paul Johnson and Glenn Underground bootleg project? I guess we’ll only get those answers if we ask the producers themselves.
These mixes is probably available on other releases as well. Ain’t this a crazy biz sometimes?

The track in between Mix 1 and Mix 2 on this record is “Genies Disco” which is a fucking great disco house piece by Glenn Underground and got its official release on Cajual under the artist name GU and the release name “Do”. It was included in another blogpost from my fellow blogger Moggieboy on the “Ripped In Glasgow”-blog.

All in all a very worthwhile record to get if you haven’t got it.

Frankie Knuckles presents Jamie Principle – Your Love / Baby Wants To Ride – 1989 [Who's That Beat?]

Two of the greatest tracks from Chicago house’s history on one and the same 12″. That was almost too good to be true when it was released. I already had “Your Love” on a vinyl compilation but the output was too weak to be used in a live dj situation. Suddenly I came across this one and it went on repeat for a month in 1989 when I bought it.
“Your Love” has an arpeggio synthline that has been so used and abused by other producers sampling it that only sampling of Giorgio Moroder’s arpeggio synthline on “I Feel Love” has been used more. Even the Demon Boyz used it on a release that I posted a couple of days ago on this blog.
When writing about legendary underground tracks like this one my texts seem to be less because it’s kind of sacred and you don’t want to desecrate it.
The big secret behind this track is that it’s raw production with the simple arpeggio bassline and the deep bassline chords. The beautiful strings, the melodic sequences and the melancholic singing about a deep love declaration sums up most of the track.
(If you find it sounding weird in the beginning of the track, then don’t worry. That’s how the track sounds. I double checked with a vinyl compilation and the sound has some kind of sudden volume drop in it in the beginning)

“Baby Wants To Ride” has been featured on the blog twice before here and here. Those have other mixes of the track. This release feature the original full length mix. This is just as important track that “Your Love” is and even this one has a synth line that many other artists have sampled. Not as much as “Your Love” but even today we hear the euro/r&b/rap hybrid mainstream artists sample from both these tracks.
That’s how significant these tracks are and they still have the underground feel to it.
I really love this record…

It’s too bad that Frankie Knuckles went on to make more commercial house after his Whistle Song. He could do much more judging by these two tracks. But let’s not diminish Jamie Principle’s efforts here. He wasn’t only doing the vocals but also the music together with Frankie Knuckles.

I remember an interview I read in the Face Magazine or the iD magazine in 1989/90 when he was asked about other artists copycating his music. He said something like this: “If I meet one person in particular I’m gonna break his bones”

It was obvious that he referred to Frankie Bones and his Bonesbreaks-series. I don’t know if he was dead serious with his grudge or if he was making an inside joke. This was a time when sampling was made by many and accepted in most parts of the scene if it was done without ripping large parts of the music. Sometimes the “Bonesbreaks” series was doing just that…

When it comes to the tracks on this record I must say that I really love them both so this record is one of my most treasured.

Akilah Bryant – Arachnophobia – 1996 [Hybrid Sound Architectures]

During the early nineties the music genres of techno and house got mixed up. Detroit was already heavily influenced by Chicago in the late eighties but in the early nineties Chicago opened up their ears to both Detroit and the serious European sounds.
I don’t know which Chicago generation Akilah Bryant and DJ Skull belongs to. They created their own form of Chicago techno.
After Akilah’s successful and great releases on the Djax-Up-Beats label, she released this great record on Cari Lekebusch’s Hybrid Sound Architectures. The release was produced together with DJ Skull.
These four tracks is spread out on one side each on this double pack. That was a very wise move. The sound quality is therefore excellent. The music might seem a bit monotone but that’s because these tracks is mainly aimed for mixing purposes.
The tracks is untitled and two of the tracks is straightforward pumpin techno. One track is dark electro and one is in a minimal hard tracky chicago style.

Auto K / Analogical Mind – Modulation Academy – 1993 [Electric Music Foundation]

This little blue coloured 7 inch vinyl contains two great acid techno tracks.
Auto K (Auto Kinetic) is John Golden and Mike McClure with their noisy and hard acid techno track with a trippy feel and Analogical Mind is one of Fredie Fresh’s best moments with a track that begins with a hardcore techno beat but slows down to a calmer tripped out acid techno style.

I always wondered why they chose to press these two tracks on a seven inch. If it had been on a twelve inch I’m sure this had sold a lot more records, because these tracks are banging!

Rhythmatic – Energy On Vinyl – 1992 [Network Rec.]

The end result if you mix techno with rave and breakbeat hardcore is present here. This is an LP full of tracks that you like or dislike depending on your current mood. When I listened to this rip a couple of days ago, I couldn’t stand it for some reason and I wondered why I ever bought and liked it in 1992. But today, I think it’s a quite charming collection of tracks with lots of energy and drive. It’s not exactly super intelligent with its great amount of cut & paste music. Often simple music is much better and more “Intelligent” than any IDM or progressive house ever been. Yes, this current record is a bit dumb but without selling out and still managed to keep some kind of quality.
I was going to rip the “Wind Me Up” EP before this one but couldn’t find it at the moment. -Later…
Some of the tracks on this LP has already been out on the 0742 label before.

Tribal Ghost – Paradise, Paradise – 1992 [Overdrive]

One of my favorite 12″’s from the early Overdrive records catalogue feature the release’s fantastic title track. “Paradise, Paradise” is an excellent and unique techno creation from one of Germany’s favourite labels outside Berlin and Frankfurt in the early nineties. The track has a great drive and a vocal sample saying “Paradise, Paradise” on top of a fine composition of noises and synth sounds.
“Open Hi-Spray” is a playful experimental track that plays around with spray-like sounds rhythmically. “Malaria Index” takes us into minimal techno-trance mode while “S.A.R. (Happy Organ)” is another playful track that goes into american folk/western music mixed. -Let’s all forget about that last track.

The title track on this record is good enough for me to like it.

Cajmere – Underground Goodies Vol V – 1994 [Cajual]

The happy pill effect is very strong on the “Re Ah Do Da Da Da” track. At least for me. This is pumping playful house at a high level of class, as usual when it comes to Cajmere’s productions.
The minimal “Jungle Jazz” track is built up on a hard bass drum beat, think Green Velvet “Flash”, jazzy sax loops and tribal styled drums.
Nothing exceptional is happening in the track which is good if you just want to fill your set with a rhythm track.
I guess I don’t have to write much about this since you already has your attention to this release. It’s a Cajmere release and that’s often self explanatory.

Smart Systems, Indo Tribe, Yage – Pulse Three – 1991 [Jumpin' & Pumpin']

The rave period from The Future Sound Of London guys was fabulous. The Jumpin’ & Pumpin’ label did the Pulse series with the various aliases that Brian Dougans and Gary Cobain produced. Track 1, 2 and 4 is absolute top tracks on this third episode in the Pulse series.
Smart Systems’s “Tingler” features both ravey dominator-style stabs, ripping breakbeat fills and a very driving mood. Indo Tribe’s “Owl” has two stabsounds which sounds like processed samples in the bottom and with brekabeat fills over the steady beat. A very exciting journey into the golden rave era. The second track from Indo Tribe, “Bite The Bullet Baby (Jaques Reynoix Mix)” is the only track that’s not excellent on this ep. It is quite ok anyway but is easily forgotten in comparison to the power from the other tracks. The more laidback “Calcium” from Yage is a piece of beautiful sub bass techno leaning towards detroit. I still get goosebumps today when I hear it. It’s that good.

Etat Solide Featuring Zoey – No Heartbreaks – 1992 [Acacia rec.]

On this fourth release on Kelli Hand’s own label, Acacia records, she takes control under the Etat Solid alias. The Detroit house styled “No Heartbreaks” comes in three different mixes. Somehow, this is way too experimental and off, in a leftfield way, for the regular house dj to find interest in. Lucky for Kelli that there’s eager minds within the techno area that found this worth a buy. I’ve often had the pleasure to mix in this track, even into a mix of much harder music. I especially like the sound of the synthline that arrives late in the firt two mixes of the track.
Two mixes of “Planet Venus” presents hard dark experimental techno sounds. Very simple and raw but yet so good. A bit thin in the eq spectrum though and with sharp frequencies.
I never had the pleasure to hear her play as a dj. Judging from many of the very original releases on her own label, she must have good taste in music.

Open House Featuring Placid Angles – Aquatic – 1991 [Retroactive]

At the time of discovery of this one in a second hand recordstore, I didn’t know how it sounded until I came home. It was one of those stores where you couldn’t listen before purchase. I paid something like half a euro or something so I wouldn’t be too sad if it was shite. I could always use the extra sleeve and through out the vinyl if I wouldn’t like it. Things made me keep this one in the sleeve. Those things were that it was one nice Detroit techno track and one great acid techno tracks.

“Aquatic” is like if Mr Fingers himself had bought himself a train ticket to Detroit from Chicago. It’s Chicago deep house poured in a steel cup from Detroit.
Next track, “Resonance” has a wonderful solid bass kick drum and a sub bass that flows back and forth into the main music block where you find perfect shivering hand claps and a breathing sample that cuts in the music like a saw. On top of it you’ll find a repetitive acid bassline that draw your attention because of the excitement it gives you.
Unfortunately I only have the single sided promo so you won’t get Carl Craig’s mix of Aquatic which is included on the final release.

Smiley People – It Makes Me Haaappy Remix – 1989 [Blue Chip]

When hearing this record from the early times of this duo that were to become really big within the techno/house scene, each in separate other groups and constellations, you already understand that these guys had talent. Mark Archer gained much success in his later group Altern8 and Bizarre Inc. and Dean Meredith celebrated his own success in Bizarre Inc. too but also in the still active group Chicken Lips.

The “It Makes Me Haaappy (The Deep House – 20,000 Fathoms Mix)” is a smooth and chilled techno house track that makes you think of 808 State’s “Pacific State”.
Next mix, the “It Makes Me Haaappy (Happy Happy Mix)”, that was included on the original release, is more headstromg and the track has a slow moving filter effect that modulates one of the sounds all along the track.

Just another one of those fine releases on the Blue Chip label.

Demon Boyz – Dett / Jungle Dett – 1992 [Tribal Bass Rec.] **FIXED**

This is the result if you sample most of the currently best drum sounds, program your own great rythm, and mix it with lots of other nice good samples from the late eighties and early nineties. Add some mc lyrics and you have one successful release from one of the UKs great talents from the pre drum’n'bass scene.
The samples if often from the ragga scene but most of the lyrics is british rap style.
The last track, “Jungle Dett (Hardcore House Mix)” is breakbeat hardcore styled and full of fine samples. You’ll recognize the sequencies from Reese’s “Rock To The Beat” that pops up sometimes.

D.J. “Funk” – House The Groove – [Dance Mania]

One of my favourite artists on the Dance Mania label is DJ Funk. He’s a very skilled technician and at the same time very good at making raw genius tracks.

“House The Groove” is jackin around over a cautious bassline and swinging beats. “House The Groove (West Side Mix)” takes it one level up and adds mroe swing to it and sharpens the bassline sound. -Nice groovin’ track.
Yes, “Holloween House” is THAT track you’ve probably been looking for all these years. And yes again, the inspiration is from John Carpenter’s main soundtrack to the “Halloween” movie. The interpretation of Carpenter’s music is pretty nice. After playing this on the dance floor, it will be packed after two minutes. Not too sure if that’s true today with todays youngsters. Maybe they haven’t seen the movie as much as my generation did? The “Syco Mix” is another take on the Halloween theme. It brings the bassline deeper and the sqealing sounds sqeals a lot more and varies in pitch a lot. It’s only two minutes long so be careful out there.
“Move Your Body (Radio Edit)” is the hidden tresure for me on this record. I never noticed it until I ripped the record. It’s a nice grooving track with heavy percussive sounds and a minimal bassline under the random drops of samples with moaning sounds, suggesting some kind of sexual activity, I would guess. That explains the “Move Your Body” suggestion, heh…

KC Flightt – Planet E – 1989 [RCA / Popular]

This record was as mainstream you could get if you did some kind of hip house. the sampling of Talking Heads “Once In A Lifetime” probably gave it a real push in sales. But there’s other more underground’ish mixes on this record as well. That’s why it’s interesting to include.

Getting permission for such extensive sampling of another artist that KC Flightt did on this record is near impossible. In 1989 it was even harder to get samples cleared. I guess he must have had direct contact with David Byrne in order to get such permission. The socially conscious lyrics in the track probably helped as well.

The “Hip Hop” mix is the main mainstream hit. It’s nice, but nothing that I would play when djing, and never did so. The so called “House Mix” is only a stiff rhythm and some restructuring of the previous mix. Nothing to care about here.
“Acid Drop Mix” provides the interesting stuff on the record. It’s a lot more minimal with a deeper bass, an acid bassline and not so much of that Talking Heads rubbish.
The last track, “Dancin’ Machine (Acid House Mix)” actually starts out with a pretty nice tough bassline. I guess KC Flightt nicked it from Kevin Saunderson’s remix of Samantha Fox’s “Love House”. When the bassline intro part is over the fun is over. In comes some kind of tacky cheese house and destroys the nice mood.
Well, You can’t have fun all the time.

Latex & W. Van Den Bergh – Panic In Rotterdam Vol. 1 – 1992 [Injection Rec.]

I’ve never been a fan of gabber or hardcore. This record isn’t really any of these two genres either, but close. This is very hard and noisy techno but never gets into gabberland. It’s way too slow and way too minimal to fit in that genre.

I remember having two copies of this one. Since I haven’t seen it for many years in my record collectiion, I might have lost them somehow.
When I saw it for sale from the same person that I wanted to buy two other records, I didn’t hesitate. I had to have it.
I have always loved this one for the pure energy and the angry beats.

The music is kind of stupid and bouncing and noisy and the vocal sample “Rotterdam” is often repeated.
There’s seven mixes here, the two last ones is only 20 seconds each.

I confess. I love this silly record. It’s loud and and I’m proud!

Son’z Of A Loop Da Loop Era – Further Out / Let Your Mind Be Free – 1991 [Suburban Base Rec.]

To be honest. I never got hold of “Far Out” which was THE breakbeat record to get when it was released. Unfortunately I never got it and later when I heard it, it didn’t feel as hot anymore. In the meantime I got hold of this one. (EDIT: I might have the “Far Out” record somewhere, when I come to think of it but don’t know where) I thought the “Further Out” track was cheesy, and still do.
The b-side track “Let Your Mind Be Free” was much more interesting. I think it was the first time I heard those hard metallic breakbeats and I loved it. The samples from Junglebrothers isn’t disturbing at all. The track is very driving and the stabs is used the right way without irritating me, which many other often do.

“Let Your Mind Be Free” is a pure breakbeat classic.

Tyree – T’s Revenge It Takes A Thief – 1988 [Underground / Dj International]

I don’t know much about the story behind this record. I clearly understand that it’s a hate record directed at Todd Terry though.
Much of the sounds of this record is also found on Todd Terry’s releases at the time.
The first mix begins with an “I’m gonna dis U right now”-sample and cut-together samples of “Took My  -Music…” and “You ain’t (a) really house…”
Yes, Tyree was mad! If anyone knows anymore about this story and which song Todd stole, then please let me know. I love a little gossip.

Whatever beef they had, it’s also clear that this record, with four mixes on it, was thrown together quickly because the levels isn’t as nicely balanced as the DJ International/Underground used to be. That’s why I had to struggle when ripping this record and the outl evels is a bit lower than usual. I guess they were eager to diss mr. Tee.
The music isn’t as delicious as you get from these guys but I thought this record needed attention because of the obvious intrigue between the music producers from Chicago and the NY Dj.

A Homeboy, A Hippie & A Funki Dredd – Total Confusion – 1990 – [Tam Tam / Savage rec.]

This is one of the very first releases that Caspar Pound produced. A Homeboy, A Hippie & A Funki Dredd was Caspar Pound, Marc Williams & Tony Winter.
This was also early british breakbeat hardcore and was a big hit on raves and clubs for a while. Later releases by this combo was found on Caspar Pound’s label Rising High Records.
“Total Confusiion” which sampled Public Enemy was in turn also later sampled on many other records.

I recommend the “Confusion Mix”. The “Heavenly Mix” is too silly for me. It’s in a pre-trance styled mix which I can’t stand.
The last “Reprise Mix” is only about two minutes long and is mainly a dubby beat track.
