Amazing music video too, strikes me that this is a template for Art Department. Still sounds so fresh, I guess a moment where house was still borrowing from multiple genres. Reissued on Left Ear Records and Mixed Signals a couple years back.

Love the name too - Life In The Insane Asylum = Life On Earth

i may have posted this already, apologies if a repeat

don't know how to classify this new reissue 12 on musique pour la danse. maybe a fool's errand since it's from that semi-mythical era (1991) when the only genres were cash-in shit and perfect, immortal bangers. one of the tracks is sort of blissed-out bleep, one of is kind of proto-trance / belgian post-ebm hybrid, the alternate mixes hint at funky acid breaks. i'm really into the first two tracks, which are "bio rhythms" style homage to late 80s detroit with strong "rainforest" vibes, not too far from what claude young was doing around the same time w/ his low key alias or some art l forest productions

I heard that Rainfall record recently but can't remember in what context, or maybe its just or reminiscent of something else, it sound very familiar!

listening to yoshiesque vol. 1 this morning reminded me of the existence of this deep dish remix (never cared much for the original) … apparently that’s morel on vocals and brian transeau (!) on keys … sort of a choo choo romero “dirty house” vibe

deep dish - jesus is mohammad (daddy cool remix)

oh wait it’s mohammad who’s jesus, not the other way around, my bad

the late great, Sunday, 28 August 2022 18:24 (one year ago) link

Love Yoshiesque 1 and this track. I guess it does have a Morello / Romero vibe though in my head it kinda gets subsumed within the overall soft-focus vaseline lens floatiness of that mix.

Tim F, Sunday, 28 August 2022 18:32 (one year ago) link

i believe the yt is ripped from the mix, since the track on vinyl is 10 mins long!

yeah the britrock style vocal is cheesy and might put some ppl off but then you play dished out bums’ “gak trak” (at +8) into it and then you play maurizio’s domina mix and then those ppl can stfu

Landed here searching for mentions of Jeremy Sylvester. Not too many on the board.

uk garage always somewhat impenetrable for me, but have been giving it another go and really like some of his productions. has a zillion aliases, definitely some commercial crud to wade through (I assume he was massive?), but the earlier stuff is quite special! some of the other posts here are mixes/playlists he's featured in and it's interesting to see who he shows up next to.

at times sounding very french house with heavy use of samples and cut up vocals. others sounding so bouncy and boomy with sampled chord stabs I can't help but think of Shed! and I can almost hear how some of these could've influenced Last Exit.

can't stop playing this one

you might like this one, then. i only knew uschi classen from acid-jazzy deep house collaborations with various ashley beedle projects (notably ballistic brothers and black science orchestra). here on a garage label from the ukg (not a ukg label, though) that i’ve never heard of, with “take me high”. apparently only got a test pressing, but since reissued

meant to say “a garage label from the uk*”

the late great, Saturday, 10 September 2022 06:08 (one year ago) link

here's another cool recent discovery, an uncharacteristically techy dave lee (joey negro) production with a typically hair-raising "thelma house" vocal. i think there's other mixes which are more popular (grant nelson, and a ukg version by industry standard) but i prefer this one, there's a dub of it too ...

thelma houston - all of that (rodox vocal)

the late great, Saturday, 10 September 2022 16:13 (one year ago) link

it's on a compilation Joey Negro put out a few years ago but the mix is slightly different, this one is much better

boxedjoy, Sunday, 11 September 2022 08:44 (one year ago) link

I really like this Jeremy Sylvester one, speed garage but just a bit more tripped-out than the usual high-octane madness:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9jtvd_sv2S0

his Club Asylum remixes were always quite cheesy but I've got a real soft spot for them, these days I'd rather hear this over the Dreem Team mix:

Christopher Just - Jeff After Four Roses

This came up in conversation at the weekend. I'd forgotten how much I used to like it (pitched down a bit). The Jeff in question is Jeff Mills. The story goes that he was playing in Vienna and (very uncharacteristically) drank a whole load of Four Roses bourbon and started acting (very uncharacteristically) crazy. The track was Christopher Just's attempt to sonically replicate Jeff Mills being very, very drunk.

that’s great. very fred p, at least the earlier iteration. his new “private society” stuff is cool but more upfront tribal house style … still pretty deep but the old stuff is straight up subterranean

no idea why they never pressed this one (soul life connection from 2012) on vinyl, i think most of the cd eventually got pressed but not the title track ???

i don’t often follow up on exaltics releases, i know gerald donald (dopplereffekt) is a big fan, but the dude puts out so much stuff, and most of it gritty heads-down dancefloor electro-techno … just too bleak, not colorful enough to catch my attention. he’s a bit like early 00s anthony rother in that respect.

he just put out his second best-of comp, and this remix from 2011 is on it. to me it’s a “zeta reticula ep 2” level banger and reminds me that when he gets going on the gothy 303 vibe he’s pretty much the only current producer that can step to gesloten cirkel
