Techno/House Bobbins of the past

Oh for fuck's sake, Can a moderator move this to ILM.

Excellent idea. Both ideas are excellent.

i've recently picked up some 12"s on the old forcetracks label. this one in particular is pretty good. any recommendations for other forcetracks stuff (besides luomo)?

I'm quite enjoying John Beltran lately, that very mid-90's Detroity ambient techno sound.

Also, Agaric - Virke (liebe Detail 10 from 2006) is killing me right now.

which John Beltran are you listening too? Placid Angles is awesome.

love 'Decembers Tragedy' by Beltran, mehlt's description being the reason

I think Decembers Tragedy was used in the HBO series Six Feet Under.. It was cool hearing as a soundtrack.

Dub Taylor had a couple good/great LP's + 12"s on Force Tracks.

also check the label Raum...Musik for other pre-bobbins sounds.

Beltran's Ten Days of Blue LP on Peacefrog is classic from the first sound to the last.

In terms of Force Tracks MRI's All That Glitters is one I come back to cos it's pure pop. "Tied to the 80's" is from a an 80's TV theme and the dub Aaliyah cover is soo cool.

Heh, I was playing All That Glitters a moment ago - first Vinyl I ever owned.

I've been listening to the Beltran Stuff of Stryax Leaves, which is a really great label by the way, which are rereleases from older stuff. 'Anticipation' is wonderful, and "vienna" is beautiful little piece of classical string sampling.

Heh, I was playing All That Glitters a moment ago - first Vinyl I ever owned.

jesus.

In my defense, I'm only 19.

All That Glitters, I still come back to that one too. Esp. side 1 and YEA the aaliyah tribute!

Speaking of Force, I want to rep for the Star You Star Me album (esp. "Perfect Day" and "Sweet Things", which are mighty swoonful).

Akufen tunes on force tracks are belters.

Akufen! That guy disappeared off the grid for the last couple years as far as releases have gone, right?

He's apparently putting out an album this year!

I don't know why, but I found the MRI album to be really irritating with a few exceptions. I still need to hear the Mathias Schaffhäuser and Crank AK stuff on FT.

In my defense, I'm only 19.

heh i wasn't zinging , you just made me feel old and useless. i have and love the 'all that glitters' double vinyl btw, esp the title track.

Tied To The 80s is a gorgeous track - I heard it via gareth via spencer chow but I'm not sure I heard any other MRI.

Crane A.K.'s Pink Eyed Pony seems fairly typical of the Force Tracks roster to me. Deep, dubby, bouncy, clicky. More minimal than Dub Taylor, a bit too polite?

a couple of v old classics i recently encountered:

Jesse Saunders - On And On
good electro-boogie/house crossover but you could make a good case for this as first house track ever maybe (released in 84 but maybe first recorded in 83)

Farley Jackmaster Funk - Jackin The Trax
to hear it you'd believe hercules & love affair have been basing much of their sound on this one track. great house with that macabre synth hook seemingly taking its cue from italo and electro from a few years earlier.

second one is m4a btw

i also put this on the prescription thread: http://www.sendspace.com/file/85v4yg

romanthony - the wanderer (journeyman thump)

I saw the Ladomat 100 compilation in a charity shop today, listening to it now the pre-Kompakt quirkyness seems so great. I think I should hunt down more of this stuff.

the only thing on Ladomat 2000 i've heard is this, which i like. what else is worth checking for?

this is all-time top 10 luv 4eva material: http://www.discogs.com/release/49178

This Ladomat 2000 is all-time top 10 too - http://www.discogs.com/release/17353

Bobbins galore: http://www.youtube.com/user/HouseMasterz

hardwax appears to have copies of moodymann's ultra-classic 'dem young sconies' 12". a repress, perhaps?? in any case, can't rate this one highly enough.

I would be real surprised if Dem Young Sconies was an OP. That record makes you wonder what would have happened if KDJ had decided to concentrate on techno. That record hasn't left my crate in years.

Model 500 'Starlight' is still a favorite of mine. Play doubles of that late at night. The recent Echospace/Deepchord remixes are alright, but the original holds up just fine. Others I still love, Ken Iishi 'Overlap (Mark Broom mix)', Joey Beltram 'Energy Flash', Burger/Ink 'Las Vegas', Axis' lp on Guidance, Moodyman 'Forevermore', Jay Dee 'Plastic Dreams' must still be making them money, i see new remixes of that every year. Then, play Irresistable Force's 'Flying High' over some djax to kick out the jams.

Yeah that's weird about "Dem Young Sconies" appearing at Hardwax. Do they sell bootleg stuff? I mean there is always the chance that Planet E re-pressed it I suppose, but I would think they would've used one of the Planet E Classics labels or something rather than the original label like they're showing on the Hardwax site.

hardwax sold the sharevari repress, which was rumored to be a bootleg, so who knows?

i'm all for bootlegs of shit that never gets repressed, though (like sharevari).

True and the "Sharevari" boot just feels very different from a bootleg of an active label that has even been re-pressing some of it's "Classics." No judgement in these statements (I got both the "Sharevari" and "U Can Dance If U Want 2" bootlegs) just wondering.

i didn't know there was a bootleg of "u can dance"

totally awesome

but i'm still waiting for the "moody trax" boot

a bunch of DYS 12" appeared at the Planet E booth at DEMF 06 (i think it was) along with the original Designer Music 4 track EP. DYS was $5, DM was $15. i got em both as each was amongst my most wanted Planet E's.....

All the more proof that it's really unacceptable that I've never made it to DEMF. I keep trying to convince my wife that it would be a great vacation.

is this the right place to ask about forever sweet-- namely, is anything else they did as perfect as "bleed"? does other ladomat stuff sound similar?

"All the more proof that it's really unacceptable that I've never made it to DEMF. I keep trying to convince my wife that it would be a great vacation.

-- matt2"

it is a great vacation. i bring my wife and my younger sister with me every year. at least 20 of my friends go up every year from pittsburgh as well, not even counting all the people i know from around the world who show up. its as good of a time as you can have if you like dance music.

That'd be the problem. Wifey loves dancing but doesn't like "dance music." It only takes about 30 seconds of any synthetic beat of the thump-thump-thump-thump-this-is-going-to-be-a-dance-song variety and my wife gets extreme anxiety. She loves Depeche Mode and plenty of early 90's poppier house stuff but can't stomach a moment of "true" techno, even something as gorgeous as "R-Theme" or "Dominas." I know, it doesn't make sense to me either.

My bf and I went for the first time last year and hope to make it a tradition. He is not into dance music/music in general as much as I am, but he's willing to indulge me and has family in Michigan so it works out. It is our one chance each year to hear this music in its "proper" setting (i.e. not between a pair of headphones or blasting from my car).

Yeah, I'm pretty much asked to keep the beats in my headphones.

I really, really want to go to DEMF again this year but it overlaps with a 2 week Germany trip. I guess that balances out.

Just got this one yesterday: http://www.discogs.com/release/4982

The locked groove on the A side is perfect. I let it play for 10 or 15 minutes yesterday.

man, that sucks. get her some good drugs and take her there, maybe she'll have a religious experience and you can all live happily ever after ;)

on the other hand, you could just go by yourself! there are lots of friendly techno nerds there.....

got a few things today. soul center III which is pretty cool, very unique sounding.

also got this psi performer remixes and am just listening to it now. has anyone heard the album?

and should i go back to the shop and pick up Sten - Leaving The Frantic for $6?

HTML crew dropping science thanks lads

Terrence Parker mix of Index 968 - Secret Fantasy.

One of his best, only came across it a couple of weeks ago!

Man, saer, you would have had a great time in San Francisco in the nineties!

I hear the canals were genial and the chippy opened late?

I thought I had the good T-Polar record but it turns out there is another one, the first one, from 2002. Maybe there are more!

The Deviants, on Luxury Service from 1996. Its an obvious sample but I've forgotten what its from!

wrong year, 97!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?&v=ehcuGmPW8eU

and mixes well with this from Dubtil (2016 is the past but I can't get a feel whether the recent-ish past belongs here or not!)

oh no not this again!

Came across this via the antique cash register collector's play-a-long a bongo session, never heard of this before - magic!

Other side of this isn't bad either

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

this has been on repeat and still sounds so fresh 25 years later:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AZJfr0AWAlo

yeah i got mo'wax excursions 12 of that

so fresh, evergreen fresh, sounded good since the day it came out

remember when kdj dropped it on french radio? no?

https://youtu.be/iNLR-EMugb4

I don't but thanks for that link.

sounded good since the day it came out

exactly what I said about it elsewhere, recently. I have the excursions 12 too. I'd say that it seems that Pulsinger tracks are having a revival but that circumstantial evidence is based on my own flat.

Further evidence:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kn_1QvK0L2E

plus Dear Trevor, of course.

re: the KDJ set, does anyone know what the Geraldine Hunt sampling track ten minutes in is?

ha, the very one that Claire mixes into. Enjoying this.

i thought you might!

Man.... this tune.... Man do I rate this tune.... Its like you wake up after a night out yeah.... And your memory is a bit foggy.... But you know you've danced the night away.... Like proper groovin.... And the ladies might have seen, might have danced with you.... But thats not important... The important part was the energy.... The beautiful, beautiful energy.... You roll over.... You check your phone.... No notifications, no worries.. You walk downstairs and your mate Kevin is cooking up some bacon.... Upon further inspection he is making eggs too.... "Oi geeza spare a strip of bacon?"..... Kev doesn't mind.... You've just scored yourself some bacon..... Great start to the day... You glance outside.... The sun is shining... Your little neoghbor Johno is kicking a ball about..... Pure bliss.... This tune is pure bliss.

you know, i feel like this tune maybe already got posted on this thread?

Bass Cube's Ode to Billy Jive from Miami 1993. Haven't checked out the rest of the album yet

Found out that Pascal Dardoufas passed away earlier this year when blasting this the other day. Both in collab and solo, he put out some massive records!

http://www.youtube.com/WhFhi-6YtE4

ugh, sorry, it's impossible to link properly from the phone, so went to the laptop to post this banger.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zpsxiT-MeJw

to link YouTubes properly from your phone, “all” you have to do is insert “watch?v=“ between the forward slash and the code

so http://www.youtube.com/WhFhi-6YtE4
becomes h**p://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WhFhi-6YtE4

it’s easy if you try!

Thanks, I know that there's a workaround, it's just easier to jump on the laptop.

“jump on the laptop” would be a great terrible title for a compilation of early 00s bobbins

Lol yes tombot

4-CD box set with booklet

Five versions of "So weit wie noch nie" to kick it off.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=njovQkYMOZ8

From Buenos Aires, Leonel Castillo's Vibraphonistix. A lot breezier than his well known track which I forget the name of, have to dig that one out

the vocal fragment feels lifted from something more well known!

I got distracted, what I actually meant to post was James Zeiter's JS-01

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ajNlZj3Zmso

I sold JS-02 for quite a bit a few years ago.
