Confusion house. Something of a phrase that may be applicable in the work of Caspar Pound. A vastly under appreciated ambassador for techno. This must've been recorded in the fall when House of Mine was a huge hit, and is basically what the front cut... See full review

The second sound patrol ep. It goes a lot deeper, and explores more territory than the first. With about thirty years on it now. It remains a potent early example of Derrick Carter, as a producer to make time for, and play.

A sort of early salvo into the good ideas gone awry well funded ship going down ELECTRONICA remixes of early electronic artists remix compilations that came out in the nearing late 90s. A slightly uncomfortable period where space age bachelor pad... See full review

R&S in their buy on sight period had a way with discovering truly oddball house before it became weirdo techno, ad vice versa. A lot of it was take the challenge of buy on sight as it just stood out in its own way, and dared you like this one off... See full review

Surprising that this hasn't been reviewed. But, not really, considering how quickly music styles churned over whether they defined or defied genre and along with it, the many gems that are due to be located along the trajectory of Wonka story which... See full review

Continuum has a point to make. But for floaty tribal tool material that builds itself with wooshy noises and flute accents. Hungry Years, and the Beats might have some better ideas for you to play with.

It's the Orb-ient mix you want. And it's the Orb doing floating over a bleak looking sort of industrial city in awe soundscape material. I.e. It's one of the better remixes, and steers clear of the gimmicks, and sample library.

After all this time. It's the instrumental mix that you're here for. It's restrained enough to not let you down, either.

This version of Heaven & Earth is Uncle Mike, and Matt Lux, a jazz-rock guy. Which in this permutation equals the most interesting Hard-House jam band you have probably never heard of. The lead tracks are Loose, (jammy) and enlightened feeling "hard"... See full review

Among the variety of ample and workable loops on Volume 3 of this vital series of mid 90s beats, and breakbeat tools are some killer groove pieces which made it another essential for the funky breaks / house dj's in the rave scene as well. A1, A5, B4,... See full review

Twenty seven years later. I will still tell you that Partytime is what you really want this for.
Funky drumming, and that piercing looping trumpet breaking things up to start them again, and the 303 sample.

For the b-side.
Functional tool kit material in the extremely deep house with a room moving swimming pool of a bassline category.

I loved playing Remi & Sven's releases back when. For a first release for the pair through the R&S family of labels. KILLER. I definitely remember the bomb effect that was Piano Power when I used it at some of the raves in Minneapolis while I was... See full review

This one LIVED in my crate from the moment it came out in '94, and I used it in many different small room, and regional outdoor parties as a weapon to stun people with. Microlover is bliss, and Desire is the melancholy. Each in their own way. Destroy... See full review

Secret weapon content of a record. Let it Take Control is the lead track, actually. CLASSIC uplifting re-edit. But, Energy Dawn has the Bassline Energy Remix, which is KILLER, and then it builds into a groover that takes off. House the Crowd is... See full review

Depending on what point of the release cycle you picked it up at. Either a first run, or in the middle of them trying to keep up. They would likely have had to put quite a few of them in the basic R&S outer sleeve. I have numerous R&S releases from... See full review

The yellow sleeve was made for the Tommy Boy release of the album.

For the fanatics. The original release / run of vinyl copies only had the white inner sleeve.

Exactly. Never mind the obvious hit this record came with. 45 beat is why this ep is special. It's not really an easy record to get the opportunity find an opening to air out unless you just force of will it into place. But. OMG. it's seriously worth... See full review

Functional loop house from 1991. Most of it is daytime house music. i.e. Sunday, and still up.
Early to Rise is basically a "Gypsy Woman" re-edit. The longer one is a little more fleshed out sounding and not afterhours music. The Early Morning mix is... See full review

You wish that with a cast of people behind the board on this one that there'd be more to work with here. But, do give this one a go for getting out there with the more leftfield and grooving My Acid House mix.

The a-side is what you want out of this one. Effective sample track with a loop of "Drums keep pounding a rhythm to my brain." Probably the exact kind of repetitive loop based material that Danny Wang complained about on Balihu 006. But, if you're... See full review

If Cadenza records in its peak existed in 1993. This may have been the sound of it. Friendly atmospheric techno leaning house music with a warm sonic palate. Music for grooving in the very early or very late part in the evening, or morning, and... See full review

Various artists ep, that is an excellent example of British techno by Kirk DeGiorgio. Four varied pieces for early evening, or the more adventurous minded that already show has breadth as a producer. Not a hint of bleep anywhere to be found, but still... See full review

Sorry.
I definitely remember picking this up, and using Starchild in my sets in the fall of 1995.
