Begins with a peppery arpeggio, kind of Detroity, before female vocals come in. At first, they seem like they're going to drag the track down, but when the chorus hits it's ecstacy (small "e") for everyone. I can't quite make out the words, but the chorus finishes up "...let love [something]... til sun shines... oh-oh..."
The vocal is self-harmonizing, two- or three-part, and kind of overdriven in that shivery Luomo way. I'm trying to map out the notes, but I think I'm off... something like 7-4-3, 7-4-3, 2-3-2-1....
I'm sure this is a lost cause but you can't google on a melody, so....

Can someone please help and listen to this, in case it rings a bell, please?
Very old, eighties, funky electronica/new wavey, french female voice (not clear enough to hear what she says) - ??????? (what the presenter says in the beginning isn't relevant, it's the name of the radio show and someone who won a contest the week before)
― StanM, Monday, 16 June 2008 14:59 (seventeen years ago)
I think the French lady says "???, 5 minutes" repeating each number once and counting up to "13 minutes" (compression or tape deterioration has made the sibilants come out as fff) but I've had no luck googling that and can't figure out the ???. Sounds like "le beur" but that is pretty unlikely, heh.
So, sorry, can't help, but I'd like to know the answer too now. I love the YMOesque synth chords that wash in every so often, and those seem totally familiar, but, nope...

(...now I feel bad for typing that because I have no idea how offensive the word is but I'm guessing it doesn't need to be thrown around by a pasty white rosbif. Apologies. It does sound a bit like it phonetically to me though. Anyhow, sorry, no track ID. Anyone else?)
― a passing spacecadet, Monday, 16 June 2008 22:02 (seventeen years ago)
Oh dear.
Uh, I see it's been IDed. Came here to find the link after something else made me think "hey, that sounds a bit like...", and I was way off, but the youtube uploader has found it now and it was Louis Chedid - Holdup (instrumental version). There's a longer and slightly less instrumental version here.
Just in case Stan didn't know or anyone else was interested.
(Oh! "Neuf heures, treize minutes"... and "9h13 paroles" googles you there in one. Sigh)

Anyone know the last tracks (the last 2 main one's 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.

Xpost, yeah, that's one of the tracks there, but it seems like it's only one of many layers. Thanks a bunch anyways. I can't really describe it, but the part with the strings is the main part I was looking for.
While we're all here, anyone have any idea what's playing at 3:25
(uptempo and hooky hip hop beat, "fresh for 98" sample/vox repeated. And how 'bout that line at 3rd and Army at 2:12, anyways!)

the armando sample is the fab-u-lous Loleatta Holloway. can't remember the exact source, but it is her...wish ilxor elan still came on here, he has the full fuckin thing-- he used to play it over a mysterious omar-s track at parties.

This isn't really "track id" but I'm looking for a particular English version of Águas de Março. It's a woman singing, it's not a duet, there's no male part. I think it's all in English, but it might be a mix of English and Portuguese. The first few verses are definitely English.
It seemed "classic" or "definitive" to me when I heard it, like maybe it was actually Elis Regina singing it, but I can't find any Elis Regina versions that are in English and aren't duets. I'd guess it's from the 70s or 80s, I'd be surprised if it was from the 90s, and it's definitely not from after 2000.

Ok, can someone help me with this. It's what I was listening to at the turn of the century.
At about 0:50 , trying to id this funk/disco sample has been driving me nuts for about 15 years.
I heard the original once while out, and think It could possibly be by a female vocalist on Philadelphia International records, or maybe not.
Please!

Haha, thanks. It does sound very Philadelphia International though, it was only a drunk vague recollection of asking the dj and seeing a record spinning on the decks with the Philadelphia label on it.
― inventionsforjohn, Sunday, 12 May 2013 22:51 (thirteen years ago)
that was a result of me following a rabbit hole on google that said the sample was also used on "gym tonic" so i was searching for samples used on that and not really listening properly.
― i lost my shoes on acid (jed_), Sunday, 12 May 2013 23:03 (thirteen years ago)
I've been down that same rabbit hole. It was another deadly Avenger track.

― i lost my shoes on acid (jed_), Sunday, 12 May 2013 23:26 (thirteen years ago)
I try not to revisit that period of music if I can help it, but I need to find the original track. Which will inevitably be a bit of a let down.

AFAIK the actual drum break in the intro to "Rapper's Delight" was not borrowed from anywhere else, so it seems Keith LeBlanc came up with hit himself. The bassline underneath the intro comes from this though:

the track I’m looking for is early 80s punky disco, from New York I think. The instrumentation is just like bass, drums, guitar, maybe synth. It doesn’t really “rock” but the vocals are this bratty fake macho spoken word thing, voice kinda sounds like milo aukerman. it sounds extremely DFA-ish, like James Murphy must know this song.

I'm looking for this tune which would have been released early in 2001. It's commercial dance music but not house or techno, closest thing I could say is big beat but it's more like an experimental version of bubblegum pop, but without any vocals. It's commercial novelty dance music, but pretty sure it wasn't a hit, at least not a notable one. My housemate was the music editor of the student paper and was given it as a promo, we were blown away by it (may have been the weed) but seems he has no memory of it now.
