Techno/House Bobbins of the past

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

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.

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 ???

underground music, underwater sound quality?

;)

is it a boot or just crappy record-pressing or mastering?

PS- DOPPLEREFFEKT

It's an original copy, sounds like poor mastering - all mid tone, but on certain tracks thoughs (the ddep inside dub sounds relatively fine but the original mix doesn't)

I had never even heard of this until a week ago...

that's the sort of track the term "hot mess" was invented for

that track is amazing! pretty rare too. the same guy produced "single girl" by knight action.

DAN! Bus Station John has played that track at the Tubesteak Connection before. so amazing!!

also one time, can you web-message me again-- you didn't include yr email address in the last one, so i can't respond.

danselzer at yahoo

Whoa. Did Peacefrog just unleash a bunch of stuff online? Beatport and Rhapsody both now have Moodymann's "Black Mahogani," which I could have sworn wasn't available on download.

In similar news, Sun Electric's Present is available as well! Keep it comin', R&S...

i have a track id:

i think it's called "keep on rising" by the funky green dogs, but as far as i can tell, they don't have a song by that name. the lyrics are "keep on rising, got to keep on rising." something like that.

ANYBODY?

i don't know that one but High Up is my all time fav. Funky Green Dogs track.

I'm pretty sure "Black Mahogani" has been on emusic for at least the past couple years.

xpost - speaking of Dave Angel, his 32 Flavours of Tech-Funk, while horribly titled, is actually excellent...

Just listening to some old cuts and Origami by Wastepaper on Paper Recordings reminded my why I loved Paper so much. Great tune.

this is very true, xpost.

you know who's good? audio werner. been playing this one for a while, just got this old one on trapez from 2005. it's great! i guess i should buy his new one.

Main Street Records stuff is my shit the now. I'm your brother is a cracker.

round one! love that track. i still haven't got a copy of that 12".

sadly, the pressing on the main street stuff ain't so hot -- at least, not on round two, "new day." i actually asked moritz about that in an interview a couple of weeks back, and he said that they had that record pressed in chicago (or detroit, but i think chicago), and the poor result was part of the inspiration for starting up D+M.

amazing fucking tune, though.

The original pressings of Basic Channel related records were cut by Ron Murphy at NSC and pressed at Archer in Detroit.

My copy of "I'm Your Brother" sounds fine, but maybe it is ruff and i just don't notice 'cause it kinda suits the tune.

I love that tune so much.

one time you should check out the ep with "moved" and "flatfunk" on it...forget which label it was on, really good stuff.
