Techno/House Bobbins of the past

I picked up this yesterday; http://www.discogs.com/Various-Tresor-II-Berlin-Detroit-A-Techno-Alliance/release/48297

Can't wait to play.

that was a huge one for me. It came out the year I went to college and got my first radio show. I know WOBC in Oberlin had the CD but they either had it on vinyl as well or had a lot of that stuff. Changes of LIfe was the first thing I ever beatmatched somewhat well. (after trying to mix Meat Beat Manifesto and 808 State in high school).

Tresor II & III were my introduction to techno. I had them on cassette, I used to jam the hell out of them in my car.

Just found Science 2102 - The Clock Keeps Turnin, produced by Justus Kohncke, which, not unlike Timecode to L.I.P.P.S., covers the Roll Skate Ride Bounce/Rappers Delight bassline. All I'll say is that it is just an wonderfully perfect end-of-summer jam.

And that I had the fortune of first hearing it played live from Mr. Kohncke himself :)

And I never mentioned it here but wanted to awhile back: Justus' remix of Chelonis R. Jones is another remarkable track.

xxpost Actually I realize now it's a straight up cover of Good Times by Chic.

Interesting about those Science releases. I've seen a few floating around and never knew what they were. So they're all Chic edits/covers and Kohncke did all of them? Any that folks particularly recommend?

Been on a Pal Joey kick recently, picking up a few including this;

Attention all Bobbinsers, In short: Craigslist posting, records, $10 each (before the possibility of bargaining, which I'm not good at anyways). I've been looking to get a copy of The Climax for awhile anyways, and possibly Do Da Doo, but I'm not sure about what of the rest I should be looking out for, and it's not like I'm especially keen on dropping a lot of money on old rave records, either.

i am dense. this is stuff you have or stuff that is being offered near you?

It's being offered by someone else.

On second-and-a-half look, this really does fall to the ravey/hard side, more than I remember as as first struck by.

Age of Love, Rabbit In The Moon and The Ethics look good to me.

Dave Clarke – Red 1 [original pressing] – Bush

All of the above are worth checking out at least - you should be able to hear on youtube before making a choice.

i used to love "Never Lost His Hardcore" i remember local rave djs used to use it to transition from the techno part of their sets into jungle. listening now, it sounds like a hyped up C+C Music Factory.

Yeah, I'll be able to listen to stuff there. I'll probably get the Joey Beltram one, and def. check out the Mike Dunn/Polygon Window/Age of Love stuff, depends on how much of a deals I can get (I'm so used to paying $2 for craigslist records, of course none of them have been The Climax or Original Joey Beltram pressings or the like).

Thanks, all, for the help.

robotman do da doo plastikman remix is brilliant, not least that my copy has hawtin's dad masquerading as the mysterious "robotman" on the sleeve. srsly, tho, it's a tune and a half.

Trope – Amphetamine – Prolekult

I really loved this one when I was a teen and it still sounds pretty dope today:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e3Vh3acRuYY

From EDB list (Thursday 12 Nov), I'd put forward as absolutely essential the following:

ABSOLUTELY VITAL:
Joey Beltram - Beltram Vol1 [includes Energy Flash – original pressing] – R&S Records ( The greatest Techno Track Of All Time )

Dave Clarke – Red 2 [original pressing on red vinyl] – Bush ( big classic visceral, immense machine funk that still sounds great. You'll have heard this alot already. You'll need a warehouse to make this actually work though. As for Red 1 - yeah, but not personally that into it. Red 2 and Southside are my favourite Dave Clarke workz, Southside for the disco inflections.)

WORTH IT FOR $5.00 or less:

System 7 – Alpha Wave (Plastikman’s Acid House mix) – Big Life (This basically is one of the finest examples of early 90s trance/techno/acid - the last 5 minutes is a monster 303 frenzy. Fuck, I can smell the vicks and see the lazerz just by listening to 30secs of this track. Its pretty fucking immense. But really - who dances to this kind of stuff these day?? Also in terms of Hawtins acid stuff from this time, I prefer this to the Robotman Do Da Doo remix whose vocal "Got to do the do" really grates me, but structurally they're the same. I always thought of the Do Da Doo remix as an Acperience clone, whilst the System 7 mix is more unique)

Orbital – Lush (Psycick Warrriors of Gaia and CJ Bolland remixes) – Internal (worth it for the long, very sparse, slow build of the Psychick Warriors mix aka Lush 3-4)

Polygon Window – Quoth – Warp

Robert Armani – The Remixes [includes Circus Bells Hardfloor remix) – Djax (Hardfloor innit - seminal; doo doo doo de doo. de doo doo doo de doo. de doo doo doo de doo looped and each pitched and squeelling higher and higher. )

KNOCK HIM DOWN TO $1.00:
And these two have a kind of historical relevance, but I'd bargain for them to thrown in as freebies:

The Age of Love – The Age of Love – Radikal (NB: The Jam & Spoon Watch Out For Stella Mix is the one to go for)

Rabbit in the Moon – Phases of an Out of Body Experience - Hardkiss

AVOID:
I'd avoid Barbarella – Barbarella – Harthouse - it hasn't aged well.

Well, I own a copy of the Climax, which is definitely the most (physically) beautiful record I own. Not to mention an original pressing of Beltram Vol 1, the Doo Da Doo Remixes, and a very pleasant surprise, a copy of Altered States :)

You're right about Red 2, though, it's a banger, and would kill in a warehouse or dingy basement, but dude was charging more than I'd have expected for it, so...

That Rabbit In The Moon 12" is about 25-40 bucks on Discogs.com. Those Hardkiss records continue to go up in price too. I'd get that one for sure.

HEY GUYZ.

after some searching, it seems that Spencer Kincy AKA Gemini had been filing Torts/wrongful injury claims against the Department of Defense, the CIA, and the US government as late as September 2008.

so he's probably still alive, somewhere in Chicago.

i'm having a friend look up the cases to see what's up.

Oh dear, that doesn't sound good, even if it's nice to to know he's still alive.

yeah. i mean, if he's still alive and filing what probably amount to specious, schizinspired suits against the government, he at least has enough presence of mind to FILE those suits in the first place. which means he might have enough presence of mind to allow someone to put out a discography of his amazing amazing work, as long as he gets credit and $$$.

that sounds badder than an original trax pressing

yeah. too bad!! waiting to hear back from Westlaw-enabled friend.

i have a great song to ID: http://www.zshare.net/audio/7093378329d257cd/ played by todd terje. thanks!

thanks, man :)

I'd been nostalgic for the Time to Get Ill tapes for a while, and it looks like someone finally got around to uploading them and a whole ton of other stuff. Dunno if anyone else is interested in mid-90s Baltimore rave sounds, but if you are then here you go:

http://www.modernmusicsf.com/

Got Kerri Chandler - The Thing For Linda EP for about $2 a few weeks back. Just got around to listening to it.

Excellent!

I love that record. Moving In is a wonderful piece of music.

http://www.gearslutz.com/board/q-marshall-jefferson/194515-move-your-body-history.html

just got this today

http://www.discogs.com/Claude-Young-One-Complete-Revolution/release/32745

every track is just mindblowing. hard to believe this music is 15 years old

even though i find it slightly embarrassing that i can barely say anymore than "i like this record" about techno, we should keep this thread going

someone do a search and destroy for fragile records

i cannot stop playing this song recently

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8e03z3f3vb8

so perfect

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2PB8B98nL_A

You also can't mess with In Sync from Fragile 03. I couldn't find a youtube clip from the Fragile pressing.

^^^yes just recently got into that fade ii black. such a freaky tune. what other jay denham is good? dude's got a ridiculous back cat

And of course this:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uM2It3WbXGk

man all those network issues are such a god send. seems like that label pressed alot of records

xpost

of course "acid eiffel" is amazing. i've got a different pressing though, on fnac. "78" is a really good tune. never heard the soofle track

Jay Danham is a weird dude. He was right there for the second wave and then he got sucked into crappy hard techno as the 90's progressed.

This is kind of dope in a Detroit obscurity sort of way:

I also liked it when Transmat released trance records as well. This kind of reminds me of Transmat licensing 3 Phase:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LvD5Esq2kAY

love that early 90s breakbeat techno sound. not the simon reynolds nuum type whatever, just that laidback groovy shit like this:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LRQqs1DSV6s

that was re the above jay denham track btw. listening to gilgamesh for the first time now, verynice
