King Sun - D Moët* - Hey Love / Mythological Rapper May 05, 2012 (edited 22 days ago)
A piece of rap history here. Rocks the dance floor to this day. Also a nice DJ tool with extra beat tracks. "Hey Love" samples Art of Noise's "Moments in Love".
Nice smooth funky jams from George Duke. Not edgy like his earlier more experimental stuff but some solid dance floor tracks here. Daft Punk sampled the first few measures of "I Love You More" for "Digital Love".
Cabaret Voltaire - Drinking Gasoline May 03, 2012 (edited 24 days ago)
When I bought this in 1997 I knew CV from other stuff so got in on faith (no record player in store). I didn't like it that much so stored it away for a while...what a refreshing surprise to re-discover it about five years ago, clearing out my storage.. amazing how one's taste matures over time! As a DJ you look for well-produced tracks with good sounds and structure that can blend well, not necessarily hits (had I known this when I started I would have a much better collection today..live and learn). The tracks are cut on a whole side of vinyl, so the sound, esp. the bass, leaps off it...they are not classic headliners but they have a sparse beauty and funkiness, so well-made, so FUNKY and ever-fresh that they can be mixed with a lot of types of music...disco, industrial, etc.
"Submerged", a clever title for an almost note for note cover of Harry Thumann's Underwater: http://www.discogs.com/Harry-Thumann-Underwater/master/83420 . It's a damn good cover though, and a damn good double pack, with as social says below a wide range of PJ's talents.
Nitzer Ebb - That Total Age May 03, 2012 (edited 24 days ago)
most bands hope to make one big "hit" single in their careers, or at least a decent record. this record contains 3 stone cold classics that still kick unbelievable ass 25 years later, in my mind qualifying this as a pure dance music masterpiece....funny, I thought "Join in the Chant" was the weirdest thing I had ever heard when I was 13, boring and annoying yet also strangely hypnotic and irresistible. now I see it as the visionary mix of pop, minimal synth and punk that it is. Murderous and Let Your Body Learn still fill my veins with brimming vitality and energy.
The Spaceship Is Over There is a proto-techno hidden gem that could fit seamlessly into a minimal techno set.
just a minor comment... funny, I always thought it was "orders SIX", as in the French word (pronounced like "cease")...?
Rozzo - Into Your Heart Feb 05, 2012 (edited 3 months ago)
Fun track, dated but gives a nice vibe. Thinking Rozzo sampled this: http://www.discogs.com/Shop-Innerzone-Orchestra-Untitled/release/1472709... anyone know?
Quest (9) - Mind Games Feb 04, 2012
...and don't forget "You have to understand" by LFO http://www.discogs.com/LFO-Frequencies/release/844374
Klaus151, taste is taste, but seriously, have you ever experienced this track on the dancefloor? It destroys!!! And its crossover appeal is that you can use it to bridge less percussive house tracks with techno.
