Techno/House Bobbins of the past

Vinalog's 2013 Record Store Day entry, a mix between the Stablo Roses and Primal Stablo with the swagger of Stablo

I feel I should know this!

The sound has disappeared from that link, I was going to have another think but into the ether it disappears

DJ Lil' John - Mama's Luv

John Coleman on Chicago Style from 1996

instagram link? unmute button at bottom right of video

It plays for you? For me it played before but now if I click that button it says "video has no sound"

I ripped this track from a Canadian percussion ensemble record from 1980, could be a weirdo banger for an adventerous dj, let me know if you want the dl.

Louie Balo Guzman - Don't Shut Me Out (1994)

in the zone

Jordan, I have a mate who would 100% use that track - for DJing and sampling! Shall I use yr webmail?

Sure!

this astounding production by frequent hayden andre collaborator ron allen (strobe records, infra red) just got reissued on chiwax. sadly the rest of the ep is kinda generic strictly rhythm type stuff but this one really caught my attention

zig zag - da pressha

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jTfGa_M8yUg

Wow, love that one

Good one! i was buying lots of Stickman releases round then but missed this one so new to me.

I was digging out some old Ron Allen gems the other week.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xOfNz3nRk1I

also this Hayden Andre which doesn't really do anythung but does that so well.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kSkaOInGI6U

anythIng!

this one too which is Ron & Hayden together. Whole EP is good.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mOoA9QV-VSw

those are all superb. strobe 1-3 got reissued a few years back, those transcendance tracks are so versatile!

my absolute favorite hayden andre thing is subculture (FEAT. MARCUS), bit of a challenge to mix right but sooo good

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cLn-NTegauE

i passed on this at the time but really like it now so thanks for the reminder. i have dreams which was the single after this but think this is better. that bassline!

actually, upgrading to LOVE it. so good. the 1991 me was patently clueless. :)

this is going to sound corny but i am really into the sentiments expressed in the lyrics, up there with "no ufos" and "transition"

Ministry Of Fear - Original Cliche (1991)

Not sure what this is but it sounds like it comes from England

it does come from England. i was big into this one then, especially this track -

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OJh3bqU-v7E

same guy made this all time classic -

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-2rVbbz4oXc

this was another Contagious release that was huge back then. very 1991!

Paolo Zerletti - What Is Techno (1994)

Haven't come across this guy before but really feeling this twilight esplanade, the last of 5 eps on ACV

Hud Mo x Nikki Nair EP is so so fun, this is the bobbinsy cut

deconstructed club crew so next they’re posting from the future

Oops wrong thread my b

I pulled this one out of the shelves tonight, I‘m always surprised how cheap this one always seems to be to buy second hand, it’s such as good track.

Fred Giannelli - Distant Gratification

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_hrG6dYy9rI

wish the same could be said about this one! unfortunately ppl seem to have figured out the story about ian loveday's work on trelik, maybe thanks to peggy gou (and others)

tan ru - cool down

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

this one rules but there are so many Ian B tunes that equally rule that can be picked up for peanuts. when something blows up because a hype DJ plays it, it totally mystifies me why it seems none (or very few) of the folk introduced to it go on to check out anything else that artist did. so weird.

anyway, Ian B should have legendary status in dance music. such a hero. RIP.

that Fred Giannelli track ^^ is great too. i don't think i'd heard anything he did post 2000s before.

From 2009, this one is still a constant play for me:

Al Usher - Lullaby for Robert

Previously mysterious instagram appearing/disappearing sound now on YouTube but what is it they say?

Allen Saei (better known as Aubrey) - Evidence

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yl8MJ1c_wWc

aubrey so good, master of toms and other underused drums

i recently got a couple of aubrey records, iirc this one is from the mnml era and sort of uncharacteristic. reminds me of weirdo classix like low res - amuk

plural - shifting forward (aubrey rmx)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VBXZR0WJgkU

also got this amazing 94 ep, full of youth and vigor. it’s on a label mostly associated with darren price so proggier and more upfront than you might expect. i think i posted this already but …

aubrey - headhunter

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

Stirmonster, just catching up...

that Ministry of Fear Track with No Name had me racking my brain for the sample, The Prince and the Wizard, The Wiz is a Genius. And the Euphoria vocal is Torch Song. Awesome.

I love Gianelli stuff. Always struck a chord even before I knew who he was. His Psychic TV stuff was some of my first introduction to "techno" and "house", gateway from industrial. Then in college we used to get the Telepathic releases as part of a radio promo service with plus 8/probe and others like that.

Now I follow him on facebook, and his "genesis p orridge survivors group" which is...interesting.

There is a new comp out called Happy Land which is v nice indeed. Early-mid 90s UK miscellaneous dance towards the more experimental side of things

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

https://aboveboardprojects.bandcamp.com/album/happy-land

Was thinking Ultramarine would be on there with that title

Discovering stuff from Fred Gianelli’s and Telepathic’s back catalogues has been one the best past-bobbins sources for me in the last year.

Also learned of this comp today: https://soundmetaphorsrecords.bandcamp.com/album/gonzo-goa-party-music-87-94

ah yes very good. sound metaphors is an excellent label. always been annoying to me that warp left the fuse track off “10+2 classics”.

above board projects also do a great job. i’ll probably skip that one but it’s nice to see the xeper track and it makes me hopeful that warp might finally manage some black dog productions reissues

Neil Trix - Context (Hardleaders, 2000)

For unexpected magic play at 0.75 speed on youtube

X post. Ah yes, of course that is the sample source, Dan!

And you are right, Fred G is fairly obsessed with GPO and his time in PTV which sounds deeply traumatic. I know Fred a wee bit and can vouch that he is a lovely human being. Lots of great Telepathic releases. “Acid Didj” is an all time fave / floor clearer. Also his Kooky Scientist alter ego.

Seeing that group after reading Cosey's book def doesn't paint a great picture of GPO. ON the other hand I know a whole slew of people, ny music scene people who were very much in GPO's orbit and looked towards him as a real mentor, so who am I to say. Cosey's book was pretty damning though.

I think she had to hold back on some stuff that was worse than anything that was revealed in the book. Fred's tales are pretty horrific too.

i do find it hard to listen to a lot of stuff Gen was involved with and really can't ever imagine listening to Persuasion again without feeling extremely uncomfortable. But, early PTV is pretty totemic for me so I'm still conflicted.

Daren Ager - Summer in Detroit (Live mix)

2007 emx outing from inside the UK

:o

https://safetrip.bandcamp.com/album/welcome-to-paradise-89-93-vol-1

that compilation is absolutely amazing

Speaking of early Goa party music, Finnish DJ Lupu has a couple mixes online of mid-to-late 80s-early 90s tracks.

The Persuader - Sun Position (2013)

This is nice, very much his sound though I've not heard anything from this time before

I enjoy all eras of The Persuader

This is one from around that time, and that sound, that I like:
