Ron Hardy - Muzic Box Classics V3 - 18-Sep-08 07:13 PM
HAHA! This must have been released as a response to Rons Edits series, in particular #2, as released by parties in Europe back in 2004. Regardless, if these are indeed the reel-to-reel edits created by the Ronnie himself, its worth tracking down just to have in your collection. I first came across the Let No Man Put Asunder edit on many of Rons mixes about 1998, and after listening to it repeatedly, it really changed the way I listened to "house" music music. No, I never danced to him playing his legendary sets at the Muzic Box, or have any sordid stories relating to girls I never hooked up with behind the speaker stacks or sherm sticks for that matter, but that Ronnie really worked some magic behind the decks and the reels. These edits capture some of that magic.

The original mix is an excellent atonal DJ tool. Its a pretty basic track with a constant "popping" sound clocking at 127 bpms, sampling the key vocal bits from Peech Boys - Life Is Something Special. There is a gradual build from just the kick to the inclusion of hi-hats / snares and a few drum rolls starting at the midsection. I recall this being kept in the mix by DJ Sneak for at least 10 - 15 minutes at Buzz DC circa 98/99. I also recall this being played by Terry Mullan and King Britt. Definitely a favorite of mine still.

Bluetrain - Red Eye Dubs Vol. 1 - 01-Nov-07 06:24 AM
While its my most recently acquired Bluetrain release, this is my favorite release on the label. Though most have followed Steve OSullivan for his minimal dub techno projects, Ive always enjoyed the short 1 minute or shorter snippets of reggae featured on the other Bluetrain 12"s. Now this one is a 12" with full reggae tracks.

You may pass on this one if youre looking for ~125 bpm cuts. However, if you are interested in hearing some nice dubbed out reggae, definitely check this one out.

"Work It" is an excellent example of bitch tracks that did the rounds for venues playing US underground house in the early 90s, especially for voguers and their hags. You can trace this cuts influences from Steve Poindexters "Work That MF" and "Computer Madness."

The not often cited MK Blades dub is quite a hidden gem on this 12" - its not very complicated and very minimal, but complexity isnt necessary to make this a top shelf after-hours deep house groover. I heard it when I first started getting into DJing back in 93 and the cut up electric guitar riff has stayed with me to this day.
