Profile: Collected records since early 80's. Started as a Dj on university radio in 1987 playing underground electronic music. In 1988 started a new radio show playing what house records I could get my hands on. First regular club gig began in 1991. Continued spinning at clubs and raves (or whatever the hell you want to call them) up until the last few years. Needed to focus on my PhD for a while. Getting back into spinning records.

I don't mind being contacted regarding my want-list. But chances are if you are in Europe that the shipping costs mean I won't be interested. 10$ for shipping is just too much for me.

OLD SKOOL LOVERS '80 - '93

Reviews:

Energizer - Touch The Energy - 07-Sep-04 02:01 AM
Some very early hardhouse/techno, and one of the most intense uses of that Hoover sound made famous by Joey Beltram. I remember hearing this at the Spaceclub in Cologne in 1991 and going nuts with everyone else there. The dawn of a new era of techno noisier than the warp style that had dominated up to then. Very buzzy and frantic.

Controlled Bleeding - Body Samples - 02-Apr-03 07:55 PM
One of the more extreme Controlled Bleeding records. For those who may not have had the experience, extreme in the Controlled Bleeding realm means crazed impenetrable walls of noise. Swirling and suffocating masses of screeching, blasting madness. Really it has to be heard to be believed. Very rare LP of course. Play Loud.

Hafler Trio, The - One Dozen Ecomomical Stories By Peter Greenaway - 16-Mar-03 11:54 AM
Very rare of course. Oversize cardboard packaging of cd (about 16cm x 14cm) came with a booklet with text by the filmaker Peter Greenaway. I suspect this was originally a work of performance art, as the credits list such things as sets and lighting. Wonderfully odd stuff as usual from The Hafler Trio.

Pleasure Dome - 8 Min. Of Techfunk - 16-Mar-03 11:29 AM
I have an "advanced limited edition DJ color vinyl" version. It is a very dark clear purple. Catalog# still appears to Sex-006. This record had a very long life for me and was used in my sets for many years.

These tracks werent taken from actual movies, just made to seem as if they were. Part of the style of the thing.
