Techno/House Bobbins of the past

good video

"Returning to Audio Werner. (Let's see if I can write this out without sinking to the depths of complaining about someone being underrated) Dude just holds it down. I just listened to Trust, which is just wonderful, stuff like this and Onandon are so full of vim and vigour, really a pleasure to listen to.

i haven't heard everything dude has done, but i like him at his most houseiest and fun ie. the perlon record, "before" (shameless and excellent "sakadat" ripoff!), les gans remix (!!!). the earlier stuff i've heard gets a bit clicky and boring imo

this record is the shiznit:

L.H.A.S. Inc. - The Hevalo

Got a bunch of pile of second hand records the other day, highlights include, other than a Deepchord 08 test pressing, this: http://www.discogs.com/Dan-Lui-James-Duncan-Big-Smoke-Nights-Vol-3/release/42644 A detroity, synthy saxophone techno number which really hits the spot. It should be Daniel Lui, not just Dan, though, Discogs mixed it up.

Been listening to this mix a lot lately
http://www.discogs.com/Rok-Globus-Mix-Vol-3-Sturm-Und-Drang/release/7696

It's really got a good mix of US and wierd German stuff, plenty banging, has a real nice raw 'done in one take with little pre-planning' vibe. Love it lots.

am finally sorting through a lot of 250 records i got for free way back in 2005 (it has actually been that long since I have been able to have a computer and turntables setup at the same time :-( ). i had already pulled these out for DJ use:
http://www.discogs.com/G-Man-G-Man/release/19274
http://www.discogs.com/G-Man-G-Man-II/release/19275
http://www.discogs.com/G-Man-Kushti/release/19276
http://www.discogs.com/I-f-Fucking-Consumer/release/13567

but I finally began seriously digging through the stack yesterday. So far, I have found:
http://www.discogs.com/Carl-Craig-DJ-Kicks-EP/release/24658
http://www.discogs.com/Gemini-In-My-Head-EP/release/64676
http://www.discogs.com/FSOL-Lifeforms/release/84484
http://www.discogs.com/Aphex-Twin-On/release/28060
http://www.discogs.com/AFX-Analogue-Bubblebath/release/40746

AND

http://www.discogs.com/Cmetric-Cmetric/release/1073454

I never have anything unique or interesting to say about 12"s. These are all good. I also still have another hundred to look through. Given how crappy life has been for me lately (see above, and also the thread about me not eating), this feels really, really fucking good.

Tresor is now defunct? I really enjoyed the Dan Bell and Matthew Herbert editions in the Globus series.

That's great to see.

Other highlights of those 27 records I got a few weeks ago, which have reminded me of my love for capital M Minimal techno:

Mikael Stavostrand - Reduce (2XLP - missing two of the bigger tracks on the CD, I believe).

Itial by Alex Cortex - OK, but makes me curious to find other stuff he's done, so RFI, please.

And I bought Street Knowledge by Tobias, the other 3 non-titular tracks being surprisingly better than the much more ballyhooed Street Knowledge. Never cared for Tobias/NSI (actually, I straight up disliked most stuff by him) but this is really great.

lately i've been loving this two-part michael mayer set from last april:
part 1
part 2

SO DOPE

Anyone have any idea what the first track here is?

great nonetheless

I swear, the new Dance Show might be the best resource to discover early Detroit/Chicago stuff on the internet.

Good lord, what is that track!

I'm honestly this close to making a New Dance Show Video/General Appreciation thread.

Just went through some records I had kicking around my room and how great is Mountain People 003/004!!!!

I was looking for something else, and came upon this old gem, which I hadn't heard for at least 10 years:

So awesome! Too bad CJ Bolland later turned to mediocre big beat. The 1995 album where he mixed trance and drum'n'bass was still quite interesting.

does anyone have this old Dave Angel mix?
http://www.discogs.com/Dave-Angel-Trance-Lunar-Paradise/release/17757

looks terrific

jammin the nigh on 10 minute version of that on spotify now

I remember seeing that Dave Angel mix in the local record store around 1994, but I was always turned down by the cover which looked quite ugly, even among all the other "trippy" CGI record covers of that era.

Anyway, 1994 got me thinking of this tune, which after 15 years is still my favourite Mike Ink thing ever:

WOW that does look good.

i don't have that but i have this old K7 mix and it's the shit

Loving the Mike Ink vid...oh, the memories.

Psychic TV - "Wicked"

Never come across that Dave Angel mix before. Looks good though. I liked his K7 effort.

Incidentally, I keep seeing Globetrotting in my local 2nd hand shop (for about $5). Thought it was a mix until I checked discogs just now. Has anyone heard it?

Around the time 'Tales of the unexpected' came out, the British dance press were touting him as a kind of Brit Carl Craig (eg Rudiments vs Bug in a bass bin) but that album never quite lived up to the hype. I enjoyed his R&S Classics comp though.

What a great video that Osborne one is, if not only because The New Dance Show videos on youtube are arguably my favourite thing on the internet, but because that track sounds so much like it could have been played on on it.

Also, re: pier bucci. Loving his remix of Ziggy Kinder - Flipflop crash, need more techno like this.

Whoops, thought this was the bobbins 2009 thread.

That Osborne video kind of weirds me out. It seems as exploitative as Germans calling themselves Motorcitysoul.

i don't think Osborne is particularly exploitative. he's one of those few Detroit area white guys who knows whats up and works with good people and makes good music. i would be surprised if any Detroit cats had any qualms with that video.

I know a lot of the late 00's Detroit area white guys grew up watching the new dance show, and take it have a serious appreciation for it, for what it's worth.

I happen to be one of those guys.

Ok. I don't know Osborne or what TV he watched in the early 90's, so I won't say anything else, but he strikes me a bit better than Motorcitysoul.

listening to Groovetechnology v1.3 for the first time. first impression: hideous mixing.

is that the Swayzak mix? they can't mix for shit. the Electro Groovetech cds are much better.

yeah, swayzak. i can't believe 2 people combined couldn't mix properly.

Listening to Jetone (aka Tim Hecker) - Ultramarin, and it's really quite good. Like Mikael Stavostrand - Reduce, really good atmospheric minimal techno, rich textures etc.

I picked up doubles of Lets Pet Puppies 04 yesterday, definitely worth looking into.

This just got the repress treatment as well.

Picked up an OP of this yesterday.

only the fairly recent past but wanted to post this somewhere - http://www.mutek.org/podcast.rss

Incidentally, I keep seeing Globetrotting in my local 2nd hand shop (for about $5). Thought it was a mix until I checked discogs just now. Has anyone heard it?

I have this, but I haven't listened to it for years. From what I remember it's a pretty hard and kicking and somewhat technoish house album. Not too different from general mid-90s Eurohouse, but not a bad album either. I'd say it's worth the 5$ for "Tokyo Stealth Fighter" alone, which is a pretty great, stripped-down club banger.

really enjoying this classic jump-up dieselboy mix i found in a bargain bin for $2.99 ... hooray again for sub base

^^thanks tuomas. actually i think i had 'tokyo stealth fighter' on 12". it came with quite a lean carl craig remix.

My goodness, was invited to the record store basement, snapped 16 used records, including stuff like R. Hood's Monobox, Mike Shannon, Sieg Uber Die Sonne, and the biggest headfuck of all Alex Under's Multiplicanciones 2, which I've been looking for for years, and haven't been able to get online, out of nowhere, and used!

I'm pleased.

http://www.discogs.com/sell/list?release_id=644526&ev=rb

Yeah I know, but I've only ever ordered things off Forced exposure, and I've only ordered things online twice (I guess my comment was kind of misleading or, uhhh, just untrue).

And it's still less than half the price of any of those, before shipping etc.

huh, i got that record in Cleveland for $4 in 06. not my favorite work of his, i must admit.

actually, scartch that, 'D' is quite a nice track and i've used it in sets once in a while.

Hooray! I got that Hardrive s/t record I talked about upthread (although sans original sleeve, which is totally :( also the sound is kind of shitty, worse than the 192ish Mp3 I had, which is kind of ???
