Green Velvet - Temptation - 08-Oct-09 10:29 PM
The B side cut "War On The Saints". It was one of those records you must of heard somewhere and thought, "Hey this sounds like one of those old Green Velvet records from the early 90s when Relief first started putting records out. And you made a mental note of it and never thought about that record ever again. Then it just turns up in a bargain bin and you know how that works. Green Velvet records dont belong in bargain bins so you snatch it up and rescue it before the next guy does just that. In closing the track i mentioned is just a really annoying version of "Perculator" but if you can get past that fact, Id get one. Even two.
Planetary Assault Systems - Temporary Suspension - 22-Jul-09 09:18 PM
If there has to be one defining moment in techno for 2009, you could really start right here. For Luke Slater this will be a moment in time where he will find both old time fans and even brand new ones dancing in unison. Not a bad track in sight on this one. I dont even have to try and describe these tracks because fans of Planetary Assault Systems already know what to expect. The mother of all sequals to the Peacefrog saga. Only this time on Germanys club Berghain imprint. A recent trip to Berlin had me convinced that this album will be one of the years best as told by a Funktion 1 sound system. It will not disappoint even the most seasoned techno listener.
Various - Nu Electro Volume 1 - 19-Jun-09 04:44 PM
You cant help getting excited by this release. Its 25 years in the making, or so it seems. You drop the needle in anticipation only to realize you are expecting more. You first start questioning yourself. Maybe you just got old. But you listen to it again. Nope. Not me. Just a really good idea using so great producers who all somehow either gave them filler tracks laying around, or have not seen many studios in the past decade to have the ability to drop the necessary beats to make this Nu Electro album rock like the original epic series. Dont get me wrong, there are moments here. Freddy Fresh gave Bladerunners a shot at the edit block which matches their furious Night At The Edit Block from 1987. But Newcleus, Egyptian Lover, Aux 88 & The B Boys just seem to float off into a place where funk lingers like a bottle of Dom P. left out in the sun too long. Aux 88s cut is not bad at all, just misplaced if you will? Newcleus was just not what I expected. I hoped for an Automan update, I got a remix of Cher "Believe" IMO...That Autotune vocal sh*t needs to stop, guys for real. The rappers on this LP sound like B-Rate dudes from 1984. Debonaire wasnt what I expected either...I have a lot of respect for that early Florida stuff, here I just seemed to be short-changed. Buyers beware on this, listen before you drop it like its hot...Its luke warm at best.
Oliver Huntemann - H-3 - 05-Jun-09 08:24 PM
Welcome to 2009. Oliver Huntemann has been making records for many years now. I figure almost 15 years since his Confused Recordings began making their way into the underground. Elektrochemie LK moved some numbers, but otherwise Huntemann remained as a label head and DJ. Huntemann & Thomas Schumacher noticed Stephan Bodzins talents begin to flourish like never before sometime in 2005. Huntemann did several killer tracks with Bodzin as did Schumacher and it seemed as if Bodzin was the one behind all the music. At least that was the case with Schumacher. Now I myself was thinking that about Huntemann but then came two DJ mixes which at least proved one thing, Oliver Huntemann can DJ. To me he was like a modern day Laurent Garnier. just seemed to get all the bits right. (Minus points for those freaking crowd cheer overdubs). Im thinking H-3 is titled as his third solo release following the two Live DJ mixes. But this is no DJ Mix. This is fully loaded production here. Bodzin nowhere in sight. The style might be the same but Huntemann made damn sure that he pulled out as a front runner in this thing some call MNML.
Antilôpè & Tigerskin - Red Haring - 22-May-09 11:59 PM
You may have noticed that Discogs extended Ogger family are very proud and almost religious with their music. If you have not noticed most seasoned veterans like what really breaks down to the top shelf best. Most also are likely to write off anything new or at least anything new in the clubs. I always find myself wondering "Whats not to like?" Which brings me to my point. Here we have three obvious German minimal techno tunes. That in itself makes this record get tossed before anyone even drops the needle to the groove. But once you give it a spin, you have two tracks which bring LFO and Dan Bell back to life. What I mean is if DBX had this one tune as his own, people would go nuts. Loving the updated yet classic sound. Same thing on the LFO-ish cut. The bass is sampled right off the original. To me this is must have material in a disposable world.
