beweglich, ravig & melodisch sind nur einige adjektive die einem bei dieser platte in den sinn kommen. plagia rockt, aber mit gefühl

ltd 2021 repress - back in the early 90s dave coker, justin bailey and laurant webb set up a music production studio a stones throw away from the famous cutty sark in greenwich, along with dave deptford pine as one the founders of the aforementioned studio. they called themselves strangeweather, worked on different dance music styles and formed the fabulously awesome, but slightly ill fated band wubble u. around the same time justin struck up a friendship with nathan coles, a then madly enthusiastic young dj who was starting to make a name for himself on the thriving underground house scene. nathan introduced justin to terry francis and the rest of the crew and collectively the formed housey doings. they released two records on the bush subsidiary imprint green grass and as if by magic tech house was officially born. fast forward a couple of years and the boys replaced the s with a ‘z and struck out on their own. this is a re-release of the first record on the label they named after the now legendary club night wiggle. two sides of proper, uk style tech house - a sound thats been copied, plagiarized and endlessly imitated. but never bettered

4 raw techno tracks recorded in one take by kuf. released on the stockholm based label arsenik.

computor rockers return after the worldwide hit that was computor interface (brk49) with another showcase of exactly how electro should be put together. all too often retro can mean dull and uninspired (or just lame plagiarism), but anyone who has been following ed dmxs career over the last several years will know that really isnt the way he plays the game. instead he understands the value of songs and melody... the beats are fresh, without a doubt, but it will usually be the tune or the lyrics that will hook you into a dmx production, the elements that turn just another electro track into something unique and valuable. and so it proves here, from the classic computor shock (which helpfully comes in vocal and instrumental versions for those who just cant do the voice thing) to the melodic and hooky electro-funk of how we used to rock and distributed processing. stunning as always!

"we are happy to welcome a well known guest from the international minimal house scene for an outstanding intermezzo at highgrade – hello mr. tigerskin. tigerskin, a splendid artist with records on labels as diverse as dessous, morris audio, resopal and others. german and international top imprints, produced for us two rather nontypical tracks - compared to his recent output - showing us his deeper side; and he does it so well! two stunning tracks for your maximum pleasure, somewhere in the twillightzone of deepness, hypnosis and true madness – njoy it! played by anja schneider, woody, chloe, karotte, james flavour..."

it s time for another 7- foot-stomping bonanza from rocafort records, digging deep into the rich new orleans repertoire of the carbo family. all brothers were heavily involved in the 60s crescent city funk scene, so tight and on the one that it s easy to understand why hank suspects a bit of plagiarism from the godfather himself.

from ras_g: “the god spell beat tape just happened. i always make quick freestyle beats at work. i work at a “wrekastow” so i m always surrounded and listening to random records and after my bluntch breaks. i would come in make a few quick joints on my spaceprogram 303 and i just ran thru the gospel section that round and in 2 weeks i had. the gospel of the godspell.”
