Samuel L Session* - Can You Relate EP - 23-Oct-08 06:37 AM
I have been a samuel sesions fan since his early days especially his work on the cycle label.His solid fusion of melodic techno mixed with tribal rythmns and vocals mixes well with the likes of artists on the cosmic label,purpose maker and marco carola.Being a big disciple of the chicago trax label my ears pricked up when i first heard this record and i must admit i was amazed it was an SLS production.Its a real dancefloor classic,sounding old skool with its main riff and slow driving bpm.The real ace card are the well constructed,sarcastic vocals, "what happened to the techno? what happened to the funk?" Rest assured the funk is here on this 12".
Mike Wade - Dirty Planet Ep - 23-Oct-08 06:25 AM
The one release by mike wade which is an essential tool to any techno collection is this ep.All four tracks are hard and dark,perfect for purist techno nights.The first track on side two "sic em" is what its all about!With a pounding bass the tune thumps along with a hypnotic melody and minimal high hat.You may have heard this on the live mixed recording from the year 2000 by dj rush-"live at the cocoon club"
Pierre's Pfantasy Club - Dream Girl - 21-Oct-08 07:14 AM
I first heard this track when the jacktrax acidhouse album came out in 1988,that was it I fell in love!No matter what mood i am in or where i am this tune is tirelessly beautiful.I feel it has to be pierres finest hour,acid trax and got the bug etc are all absolute gems but there is something special for me about dreamgirl which i just cannot put into words.There are several mixes but the wetdream mix is the one for me.(Ralphi rosarios mix comes a close second) Maybe its the soft female vocals or that groovy acid bassline which i love,im not sure but this track is probably my favorite acid house tune of all time.Thankyou Nigel Jones for years of musical pleasure,love and respect.
Planetary Assault Systems - Planetary Funk Vol. 3 (Visit To Pro-form iii) - 21-Oct-08 07:01 AM
When planetary assault systems number one was released it was truely a dancefloor smash,the tracks gated and in from the night were huge techno tunes.Trust me not many artists had produced such new sounds at the time.(Jeff Mills axis 004 step to enchantment was another big tune at the time)That era was very exciting,techno was fighting back so when planetary assault systems two came out it was a bit flat compared to number one.However volume three was definatly back and banging!Side a has two hard warehouse tracks on it,the second react interact is a beauty!Side two has a couple of laid back techno beats which Luke does so well.Technoheads ignore this release at your peril!
Luke Slater - X-Tront Vol. 2 - 21-Oct-08 06:46 AM
Volume 2 is by far the best release in Luke Slaters xtront series of recordings.One and three are definatly worth checking,but number two is a must have.It contains a varied selection of fantastic peaktime,dark and hard techno guaranteed to blow the roof of any venue.This double also has a selection of sublime ambient techno which Luke has become well known for.Top tracks for me are the stomping sea serpant/splitting atoms/moave violin and colonial space,all winners.Xtront 2 came out hot on the heels of Jeff Mills Waveforms Volume 1 and certainly both compliment each other.Can you own one and not the other?
