DJ Debbie D - Rock The Beat - 11-Nov-08 09:47 AM
I have had a white label promo of this record for about 11 years and I just figured out just now what it was. I have been trying to figure out forever!! The matrix number in the runout groove on my copy is different - don't have it in from of me right now. I was able to figure it out because someone else commented on a different record by the same artist which also has the "Rock the Beat" track, and someone happended to be selling it in teh marketplace and was kind enough to post an Audio Sample, and here we go! Gotta love the Disco Dogs baby!

So yeah, I love this record. The production is a bit lo-fi/dirty compared to a lot of stuff, but I have a couple other records on this label and they also seem to be soft/low-volume unfortunately. Stylistically this is great stuff though. Florida-style hard funky electro acid breaks. Cheese to some, I know, but with the right crowd and a loud system, these tunes bomb the dancefloor. I especially love the "Dance of the 303's."

Various - Florida Electro Artists EP - 29-Oct-08 07:10 PM
Klockwerk Oranj is one of the best tracks I have ever heard. Eerie, uplifting, funky, melancholy, optimistic, it's like the machines are trying to share their feelings with the humans and the funk is the common language they are speaking. I am just now getting deep into electro, but this right now is my favorite track. I wish that more electro was like this. Too much dark and menacing stuff coming out, reminds me of when D'N'B went dark and cold.

Eric B. & Rakim / B-Boys, The - Untitled - 14-Jul-08 01:22 PM
This is a great find if you come across it. It sounds like they basically took "I Know You Got Soul" and ran it through one of those things that tries to isolate the vocals and strip out the music from the track to create an "a capella." They then put the "Funky Drummer" break under it with some cool samples; sounds kind of like "Balearic" style/downtempo house style stuff (I'm not super familiar with "Balearic" but from what I know of it, this seems pretty close). Lo-fi but very creative and a fresh and different spin on an all-time Hip Hop classic. Probably extremely rare as well I would imagine.

Maze Featuring Frankie Beverly - I Want To Feel I'm Wanted / Twilight (Remix) - 17-Mar-08 12:00 PM
Jazz-funk with a drum machine and synths!! I absolutely love this tune (Twilight) ever since I heard it on the soundtrack to Grand Theft Auto - San Andreas. Whoever the music programmer is for those games deserves an award (if he/she hasn't gotten one already). This is not a well-known Maze record at all, yet not super hard to find. I have 2 copies - but then again maybe I just got lucky. ;)

Armand Van Helden - Aint Armand - 07-Mar-08 07:18 PM
Oh Boy. Classic Drum'n'Bass remix. Uplifting, epic, spiritual. When I first was getting into the scene this was one of the first jungle tunes that grabbed me and let me know that the rave scene was something special - and that the music was multi-faceted. That it could take a pop song and turn it into something completely new and different. This was really the first electronic dance music song with singing vocals that just got stuck in my head and wouldn't get out. Every weekend I went out I would hope that the jungle DJ would throw this on at the end of his/her set so I could put up my lighter and look forward to the next weekend. And I had no idea until much later on that it was Armand Van Helden that produced it! Weird... Now that I am more knowledgeable I realize this may not be the highest quality dnb production but a timeless classic in my opinion nonetheless.
