Vienna - Tell Me - 17-Oct-09 08:28 AM
I had the chance to witness that very interesting period that was the beginning of the 90s with all those styles and genres of Dance music creating a real club culture clash. The italian club scene was hot and like often some very slick produced slices were coming from the land of pizzas and awesome music. This record made its day through a collection that get rid of most of this kind of records. But this one will stay with me. The reason is simple, slick production, catchy beats, uplifting bass, funny and trippy synths and an overall warm clubby-rave-party vibe that is imo unique. A lot of the european production of this type of music was more darker (Belgium, Germany, Holland,) or more naive (happy hardcore, gabber and co).
There are IMO 2 fantastic tracks on this EP:
•Tell Me - The Normal Mix is a real uplifting Clubby Rave Tune. A real track to get the people dance in the club back in the day. A killer Break shifts the track to a more latino-italo-house vibe.
•Tell Me - The Innerspace Mix This is truly a "bleep" classic in my collection. The track has a much more Rave after-party vibe. A very sweet airy synth keeps this track going to the sky. A nice track to watch the sun rise while you were dancing and having 21st century day dreams scrolling in front of your eyes.
A true underrated early 90s classic.
Sleepwalkers, The* - New Thang - 28-Apr-09 11:41 AM
So heres another hidden underrated gem. This EP first looks like a collection of outdated House Music from the early 90s ... but after a deeper examination the "New Thang (Deep Late Session)" sounds like a landmark track IMO. Mark Kinchen and his brother Scott were in a production dynamic and released a lot of good House-Dance-Soul material during that period. The Top of the Iceberg was the Nightcrawlers "Push The Feeling On" Remix wich was a huge hit and influenced a lot of 90s Dance Acts. This track looks rather like the bottom of the Iceberg. The Track sounds like an afterhours house tune with a soulfull bliss in the same veign as Ron Trents Productions. A Track that keeps haunting me and that still sounds fresh.
If youre after Deep-House Music of that golden Area this is definitively a Keeper. One of those records you cant get rid of.
T.H.D. - We Got A Love / Tendency To Swing - 01-Sep-08 02:10 PM
I understand that here on discogs this record is not rated in the yellow / red color level because there are in my opinion 3 tracks that deserve max 3 stars but that doesnt mean theres no winner here. The opening track "We got a love" is a real threat. What a nice job done by Anthony Shake Shakir.
Using the all time vocal sample of The First Choice Hit "Let no man Put Us Under" and an obvious Organ M1 Type Chord he builds up a fantastic uplifting and positive track with a real detroit touch. The Bassline will go deep in your hips and the groovy chompy snares will make you wanna move. This is a record for those who like the rough Todd Terry House Sound with also a typical soulfull Detroit sound.
An old school winner in your crate.
Thomas Bucknasty - Blast-o-Funk - 27-May-08 05:04 AM
This is one of the sickest Funk Records in my collection. Thomas Bucknasty is now coming back on the scene today but with a much more blues / hard rhythm & Blues Band and a more mature voice. In the time this one-shot LP sold bad and Thomas Bucknasty eclipsed to more religious and underground music activities. But this LP is so unique ! It has a strong hardcore funk feeling but with something on its own. Not really P-Funk not Disco Funk nor sophisti-funk a pure raw sound sustained with Thomas power voice. An overall "macho-funk feeling" emanates from this LP Imagine a mixture of Parliament, Shotgun, The Bar-Kays, Cameo and Larry Graham but with a Preacher-Like Lead Voice. Tight Drums Funky Electric Bass Punchy Horn Section, Black-Rock Guitars, Wicked Background voices and simple but nice arrangements. A must-have for any funk collector ! Totally underrated.
Jeff Mills - Waveform Transmission Vol. 1 - 26-Feb-08 06:49 AM
This Record in my opinion was and remains a revolution in dance music. I will allways remember the first time ive heard this in the shop when it came out. It contained a new soundscape that stunned me. Jeff Mills re-invented Techno with this and set the pace for all the hardcore Techno to come. The mixture of highly distorded drum machine sounds and synths with punchy and groovy rhythms created a new vision of techno and opened a door path to a whole new style.
Im not so much a Mills fan anymore today but in the time this was massive and revolutionary.
If you like Techno you must have this.
