Techno/House Bobbins of the past

Picked this up for a fiver:

Amp Fiddler - Possibilities (Ron Trent Remixes)

http://www.discogs.com/release/209286

This is a really good deep house record.

that is sad news about spencer k. once long ago a friend of mine was on acid and took the needle off the record while sk was spinning because he (my friend) was having a bad trip. hilarity ensued tho i remember my friend being even more freaked out afterward because he was being chased around the party by a mightily angry dj. don't mess with the dj !

i guess it really shouldn't surprise you, but i've been bringing that one out again recently for the first time in years. dope record.

that gemini story made me wish i could find that old thread where somebody had found out that one of the old acid house dudes (armando? adonis?) was working at burger king and jess harvell was like "omg why isn't he working at jack in the box?". good times, good lols.

yes indeed. jack in the box got sued out of existence in illinois back in the 70s (some crazy food poisoning shit) so it's impossible. i miss jess.

definitely not armando...

it was adonis. dj t wanted him to do a remix back in 2004 or so, he told me they managed to track down adonis after months and months and he was working at burger king, they gave him an advance to do the mix but it never came through and they lost track of him again. some say on quiet nights when there's a full moon you can still hear a whisper on the wind: "too far gone, ain't no way back"

i mean i can't say for sure, but it seems like some people don't have such a hard time finding Adonis:

maybe DJ T is a douchebag? his music sucks, though that certainly isn't any real indication.

Xposts: It was Adonis

I should learn to read to the end of the thread before I post (I think it was in a hercules and love affair thread, though).

The older article which that Gemini article links to claims Robert Armani is missing too, but thankfully that doesn't seem to be true anymore. Or at least he updates his Myspace page.

Well damned if I didn't find, sharing space with the likes of Chuck Mangione and Adam and the Ants, a $2 copy of M5 in a bookstore today, Yessir.

Good find. I picked up a copy of Eon's Spice in a second hand record shop for £1 yesterday. RIP Eon.

a lot of peeps have no trouble finding Adonis-- Jamal Moss is still in some insane analog lab with him as I type, probably.

just got this one today: http://www.discogs.com/Peter-Grummich-Gomorra-EP/release/1101701

only 23 people on discogs have it?! peter grummich is totally underrated imo.

I'd say so.

I finally got my hands on a vinyl copy of Voodoo Ray (also I just thought, is it supposed to mean Voodoo King in Spanish?) today, original Warlock release, also found at a bookstore.

It's been a pretty damn good week for totally out-of-the-blue finds :D

'voodoo ray' never goes out of style.

It's definitely a top 5 dance track of all time for me.

(also I just thought, is it supposed to mean Voodoo King in Spanish?)

no, is sample of Peter Cook saying "voodoo rage" on a sampler with very short memory

xpost. "Voodoo ray" in the song is a sample of Peter Cook saying "Voodoo rage" with the end cut off.

xp. ah i didn't know it was because of short sampler memory!

Ha, that's funny, actually.

I guess that explains the Black Secret Technology track, Voodoo Rage (which I always thought was just a funny play on words).

Either way, let's celebrate it's excellence with another personal all time favourite its also very excellent music video:

maybe in 04 adonis was harder to find, fuck knows to be honest, just someone above asked about the story and that's what T told me, he seems a fairly honest decent guy and is a massive fan of adonis so presumably wouldn't have made up a lie.

This is also definitely worth looking into:

A Guy Called Gerald - The Peel Sessions
http://www.discogs.com/A-Guy-Called-Gerald-The-Peel-Sessions/release/48341

I picked this up the other day for four bucks:

Baby Ford - Chikki Chikki Ahh Ahh
http://www.discogs.com/Baby-Ford-Chikki-Chikki-Ahh-Ahh/master/80678

The B side is bananas!

I also found this for four bucks:

Intelligent Communication - Principles Of Motion E.P.
http://www.discogs.com/Intelligent-Communication-Principles-Of-Motion-EP/master/12911

This was an early breakbeat record by the FSOL guys in 91. It is super deep and atmospheric. Fits well with Analogue Bubblebath and LFO type stuff...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sjkg_VRN3CU
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4VZq4XQsN44

the whole voodoo ray ep is sick, but i think this one might be my favorite track:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MDmLEsL2qc8

Those FSOL tracks are amazing. Thanks. Google turned up a zip file with that EP pretty easily. The full EP is great.

Not super old, but just found a used copy of Brandi Ifgray's (aka Maurice Fulton) "Maurice Fulton" remixes 12" on Puu/Sahko...
http://www.discogs.com/Brandi-Ifgray-Maurice-Fulton-Mixes/release/3569

The "Ibiza mix" is a funny breakbeaty thing, but the "vibe mix" is really nice -- full of rambling pianos and vibraphones, big chunky house beat, dissonant as fuck...

Brandi Ifgray's (aka Maurice Fulton)

Brandi Ifgray is not Maurice Fulton! It's a pseudonym for a Finnish dude who used to sing in an new wave band called Shadowplay before doing a couple of solo albums for Puu/Sähkö.

I'm listening to a bunch of old Freude am Tanzen releases. The two highlights for me are Gamat 3000's "Feeling Love (Remixes)" and the James Bond-themed "Fort Knox EP" which has a Wighnomy Bros cover of "Nobody Does It Better".

Nice, a lot of the earlier releases have a summery house feel to them, if I recall. I picked up the 'Wignomy Ep' a while back. Their new podcasts started off well, No.1 being Douglas Greed I think.

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;

oh, including Soho - Hot and this Dee Lite number;
