...what happened to this label? i only have a few tracks on it, and i like them. they seem quite experimental for acid techno, and quite dark. i think Techno Slut was to do with Lawrie Immersion & Steve Smitten (but im not 100% sure?). anyone got any of the releases or know anything about the label, ie; why it stopped, artists, etc... :eh:
i have a feeling it was something to do with lawrie immersion but i dont know much more than that
Got the lot, it was lawries baby, kind of what pounding grooves came from.
SLUT001 Lochi - "Tone" (12")
SLUT002 Techno Itch vs Crusty Mills - "Techno Slut 02" (12")
SLUT003 Din & Tronic - "**** The Policy" (12")
SLUT004 Various - "Techno Slut 4" (12")
SLUT005 Crusty Mills - "Techno Slut 5" (12")
SLUT006 Techno Slut - "SLUT 006" (12")
SLUT008 Weedforce vs Crusty Mills - "Techno Slut 8" (12")
SLUT009 Crusty Mills & Itchy Hortin - "Techno Slut 09" (12")
SLUT010 Various - "Techno Slut 10" (12")
SLUT011 LPGV & H - "Techno Slut 11" (12")
SLUT012 Limb - "Techno Slut 12" (12")
A fantastic label, totally ahead of it`s time. Might be able to get hold of the back catalogue if you want.
I had the second one. Never found them again. Was pretty good, I agree
Its Lowries label, i love it i still play sometimes.
I've got number 4 but have not got the others. Let me know if you could get the rest & if so, at what price. Would be interested. ;)Quote:

i know all you guys think lawrie is the dogs whatsits and all that
and please belive me that i hold him in very high esteem as an artist
myself.
the cutting room and pressing plant are excellent
and a lot of the energy to make these things work is provided by lawrie
who is a tireless worker and talented engineer/businessman
HOWEVER
one thing lawrie has in my opinion been extremely bad about is really being straight up about who is involved in his musical outgoings and as the pounding grooves series has no credits and the techno slut series had bizarre names no-on really knows who actually made the records
SO
the collaborators on techno slut
which was run solely by lawrie but failed to make any money and had to stop
were......guess who
me,guy,chris lib,geraldine and i think some old mates zippy and alex were involved too somewhere. ( could be more but my memory is failing)
lawrie made one or two outgoings on his own
pounding grooves :
lawrie, me, guy up to about 12/13
some were just lawrie but most were collaborations
then i think wilko (ignitian) got on board for a while
and i did a few more so did guy
the last one i did was 29 which was a while ago now
of course there's been a few remixes some heve been pretty good
and he's started fresh grind which is a wicked label
me and him on number 1 (either side)
so to not overdo the point
this is the true history of these labels
which is why i get really pissed off with this acid techno / hard house nonsense
i mean who gives a shit???
i used to write for all these other labels ( routemaster , smitten ,s.u.f. ,) and yes i agree techno slut was ahead of its time and i thing would even now give well establihed techno names ( subhead , surgeon , beyer, etc etc etc ) a run for their money on certain occasions.
i write techno for labels like bound , pounding, goodfellas , blackout etc etc etc
then there's hydraulix an that
then there's vicious circle ..........?
i mean it's your choice ....
all you have to do is buy the one you like
and leave the one you don't
it's that simple
so really techno / hard house / acid whatever whoever wrote it on whatever label , keep an open mind
something which is surprisingly hard to do these days.
anyways sorry to lawrie if i've dissed him in anyway it wasn't my intention , only to get the truth out 'cos i get a bit pissed off about the credit situation sometimes
and sorry to all you lot for droning on
my 10 cents
So who is Crusty Mills, Itchy Hortin & Din & Tronic?! :shock:
it is nice to know who has written tunes but its never bothered me much, although if i was the person that wrote it i would probably want to put my name on it, and well said about being open minded, it really p*sses me off all this crap wether its techno or not, if you like it you like it end of story.
Well said Dan! :clap: I have to say, I do like the aliases producers use on acid techno labels. There's some funny as fu*k names! Check here for some great ones ---> http://www.noentryrecords.com/tkacid/aliases.htm :lol:
Crusty Mills & Itchy Hortin is Henry and Lawrie, and SLUT 009 is quite possibly the best of the Slut releases. Both sides on that are fabulous, still play them out sometimes... :lol:Quote:

and they did the fabulous
"**** the police" which i will never forget listening to as a party was busted in a burnt out sports pavillion in tottenham totally ****ing mental stuff!!!
thank you zebedee perfect timing as always!
Thanx for clearing that up, I always thought the releases were lawrie as it never said who the track was written/produced by...this is something I always like to know.
ha ha! :lol: Quality... :clap:Quote:

Wow, do you have a bee in your bonnet over not getting credit for this stuff? Has a can of worms been opened?
You don`t need it the credit, you`re a champ mate!!
er... not alot to say after that clarification, Henry.
I think all the london crew are champion.
