Techno/House Bobbins of the past

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

LPGV & H ‎- On E, from 1999. Get the kettle on, la

scooped this up unheard out of a dollar bin today ... not really that into heiko laux, always associated him with boring trackiness ... but i've had my eyes peeled for hidden gems on yoshitoshi since i got turned on to "gak trak" by deep dish ... imagine my surprise when i got home and put it on ... it's like the balearic basic channel ...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RVFv_F7kc14

think i've already posted the aforementioned gak trak but there's never a bad time to repost it

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LTi6s4-W_R0

apparently it's like a $5 record?!? ridiculous!!

that sounds like heiko laux got his suitcase mixed up with william orbit

I like some Heiko Laux, but for me, he will always be associated with this really excellent Surgeon remix that I got in a dollar bin in 2006.

surgeon is a really fascinating artist, everything he does is either meaningless loops devoid of all feeling or he creates something epic out of like three ingredients, like a barbecue pitmaster.

sadly I must categorize the above post as part of the first genus

idk i feel like that surgeon remix is pretty decent

To each their own! Not doing anything for me.

has anybody taken “pitmaster” as their nom de bobbins?

El Tomboto, that track has a lot going on if you listen past the first minute or two.

I dunno, I really love Surgeon and think he's a masterful artist and DJ, but I guess I hold controversial opinions everywhere on this board lol

i thought surgeon was pretty popular around here? i really like his work from 97-01, especially the tresor albums and early counterbalance 12s. i love love love the counterbalance collection mix cd from 2001, probably the greatest drum loop techno statement of purpose from someone not named jeff mills that exists. british murder boys was aight but honestly i cooled off on him alot when he got very eclectic and laptoppy around 2007.

i think the fabric mix was when i pretty much gave up - now i hear he's doing like modular ambient music? lol

Another Frankie Paul vocal lift on Labello Blanco, this time from Macka Brown

Unexpected 2004 classic from from Dark Nites on otherwise unmemorable Aquamelon label. All time record, didn't realize it was on youtube!

surgeon’s great! would def take any random surgeon track over any random autechre track imho. but some of his stuff is just flavorless. Yes I know how to use the ffwd button to get to the good parts of techno songs. Thanks for the tip.

Tombot, then how could you call that remix 'soulless loops'? It's nowhere near peak Surgeon!

And no need to get tetchy.

Erasure - Stay With Me (NY mix). Francois Kevorkian mix from 1995. It was hiding in plain sight all along!

That is the shit.

Surgeon probably peaked with the Counterbalance EPs c. 2000. From his recent albums, "Breaking the Frame" was excellent, and albums (as Anthony Child) for Editions Mego were really good too.

scored some fresh early 90s dream house today for $5 + shipping

Shaun Ward - Nu Shoes (2005)

One for all the cyclists out there

I love nu shoes

Indeed, we were! I like most Surgeon, even the loop-based hard minimal stuff, but the Counterbalance stuff is the best.

speaking of cycling, this is getting a fresh repress in january

PLANETARY ASSAULT SYSTEMS

yesterday i chanced upon this in my archive (hidden on Archives 2), but had to keep the volume down due to home schooling.
this evening however, no such limits apply.
absolutely insane track, all 10 mins of it.
