The Stay Up Forever appreciation thread...

Surely the longest running acid techno label, Stay Up Forever has been around for bloody ages! A quality label run by sound people. Which SUF & SUFR tracks have you enjoyed most over the years? For me, highlights have been:

SUF14 - A+E Department - The rabbits name was...
Such a cool track & one that really got me into the acid techno sound.

SUF16 - Dynamo City - Urban and free.
I really love the chilled out sounds in this track.

SUF18 - Secret Hero - Control.
A classic IMO, quite dark, and atmospheric.

SUF26 - Secret Hero - Multiform.
Again, a really atmospheric track for me.

SUF33 - Star Power - X-Ray OK.
Proper avin'it anthem!

SUF48 - Crash 'N' Burn - Santa Pod
Again, almost anthem like track & a complete & utter classic!

SUF69 - Dynamo City - One night in Hackney.
Love it for its humour, and although its gets on my nerves a bit now, I feel this track brought a lot of interest to the scene from people who would never have normally looked into it, and for that, it has to be given credit.

And all the Rozzer's Dog releases! With the best for me being, The pimp, the pusher & the panther, which is an absolutely awesome track, and World War 303, which sounds proper nuts on a phat system!

I love the way Stay Up Forever has moved with the times & I still love the releases that are coming out now, as much as I did the tracks of old. A brilliant and consistant label IMO. Which tracks do it for you?

Stay hard! Stay Up Forever! :clap:

Am I allowed to be negative?

If you really want to be, then yes! Who am I to stop you.

Control is an undisputed classic of all times...

rebelleyelle - affirmation

yep, I love that tune-one of the first acid techno tracks I ever got. still a favourite.

goddamnit I've been after a copy of squat rock for so long it hurts, argh. Another classic piece of hard acid stompage.

personally I love the bouncey fun of santa pod, top tune.
and for the pld skool I luuurve control-it sounds juuuuuicy :lol:

what about SUF 65 -blow the bloody doors off - magnum force ... for me is the best! :clap: :clap: :clap:

Yea, the Magnum Force releases have been good! :clap: Henry, if your reading this...Got anymore film sampling acid techno up your sleeve? :eh:

it is a quality label, big thanks to everyone who has been involved in the label in anyway, it's really helped me to get into allsort's of other techno, and i still love the releases old and new.

some of my personal favourite's are:

suf39: rozzer's dog/ world war 303 and viagra fall's (my first suf)
suf16: dynamo city/ urban and free
suf31: rozzer's dog/ the pusher the pimp and the panther
suf37: secret hero/ build up the pressure and straight ahead
suf41: magnum force/ unlucky punk 9 (it still makes the hairs stand on end)
suf45: rowland the bastard/ love's got a hold of my gonad's
suf51: site breaker's/ hash fudge dave and porridge pete
suf59: rozzer's dog/ now im going to repeat that... and this old world.....
suf62: headrush tactic's/ acid culture
suf65: magnum force/ blow the bloody door's off

my favorite has to be

timestretch armstrong - fuel for the fire

i also love

unlucky punk
hash fudge dave
x-ray ok (transendance remix is great)
immersion rave
dirty dancing

and alot of others

although i really dont like alot of the early ones, like there are only a small few i like before...around #15 or so....

yea Guns are stupid!!! great tune. Chris gave me that when he was here a few weeks ago...

just rolls across the dancefloor!

a&e dept " Experiment 4 " would have to be a fav old piece of acid.

and hows bout " High Noon in Gotham City"

High noon in Gotham City is quality! (Didn't it get released on COSHH first of all, and then released & remixed on SUFR? :eh: )

noooo! High noon in Gotham City was just too much cheese even for SUF - like that feel the force rubbish on WahWah. Maybe I just divn't like techno remakes of 1970s programmes unless its Why Don't You? or Scooby's All-Star Laff-A-Lympics

Yo!

Some of my favourites:

SUFR 3 Acid war remixes - The Liberators mix is one of the best acid tunes I've ever heard, imho, dark as you like with wicked acid.

SUFR 2 Rabbits name was mixes - I think I like the Kris Needs mix better than the original (close call tho!) its a bit longer and more mental(!)

SUF 18 Control - when this tune kicks in after the break, its ****in awesome, saw Header play this @ Havok's 7th birthday, was top!

SUF 25 (the sound of a million 303's kicking the shit out of each other!!!), 26 (nice & dark), 29 (even darker...), 37 (straight ahead), 51 (hash fudge dave), 41, 38(or was it 39, rozzers dog..), **** it, I'm hard pushed to think of a crap one (tho not too keen on the more recent ones....)

Sim. :cool:

my fav sufr is ants & rakkits mix of "build up the pressure" what a groove!

and my fav suf is a toss up, between magnum forec no.41 (just a monster monster chewn) i think.. and ummmm "the one that says" ""really enjoy this feeling before you start to come down!"

i've forgotten no. sorry! ;)

Ant and Rachel both get my vote!

i heard that on New Years at big bo party - its so good "well loud" got that kind'a old scool feel to me - its the best thing for a long long time imo.

"one night in a village in kent was bo!" (cause im from kent maybe..) ;)

:lol:

My first SUF was "The Rabbit's Name Was..." Brilliant stuff.

Also loved **** with the program, experiment 4, hardkore with a K, The Pimp, The Pusher...

But my all time fav has to be Build Up The Pressure. An absolute classic.

stay up forever

classic label

they put the acid techno compilation cd out it's not intelligent but it's ****in' havin' it which i loved - this was way before i set foot behind some decks

hash fudge dave is my fave most intense track out of loads of brilliant ones

lol we are remixing it for suf starting next week

****in top - first remix we have done - lol - wtf :lol:

Most of the older releases are seriously hard to get hold of. You'll be looking at 2nd hand shops or on the net in the for sale sections. Best places to buy new, well check the online shopping forum or techno x-change & scan the record shops listed. Oh yea, some of the older SUF releases can be bought from www.djneeds.com They are 2nd hand & the tunes fly in and out pretty quick so keep an eye on the site. Hope thats some help. ;)

IDEAL CHEERS ;)

Nice one Rog!

Hmmm, my fave
Firefight by cosmic trigger
Or maybe SeeSaw by carbine
no wait, build up the pressure by secret hero
or maybe the pusher the pimp the panther by Rozzers Dog
no, hang on, it`s definitely Control, by Secret Hero.

I think you get my point. Too many classics to pin down a fav.
The early releases are still unbeatable, and the stuff of the last 2 years has never really come close. To those that missed the classics, you really missed a good thing.
I aint never gonna part with my collection of SUF 1- 45

Actually, Ice on SUF 44. First time I heard it, it brought a lump to my throat. It`s such an emotional tune.

the new secret hero tune (72) is awesome!!!!!

Top tune, will be interested to see how the remix goes :clap:

dan - i bet i was more amazed than you when aaron lib asked us to do a remix and said choose which one you'd like to do - lol i was laughing for days about it

spiral - i will be interested to see how it goes too !

:clap: :lol: :shock:

"SUFR 2 Rabbits name was mixes - I think I like the Kris Needs mix"

hehe- i think it's more down to Henry's studio prowess. i always got the impression that he was the driving force behind the Needs stuff.

my faves (generally have the Henry Stamp of Approval on them) are:

Glass Ball (love the kinda deathray sound that blasts through the breakdown)

Silver Surfer (great acid lines, good braking sound, love the dark trancey middle section)

Fire Fight (will never forget this tune, the first time i heard It's Not Intelligent and this track's acid line drops like a bomb, it changed me)

Control (what to say..)

Psychothrill (proper mind****er, also love the remix on SUFR)

Rave (so creaky and Lawrie)

Multiform/Speedfreak (**** me, what a record)

The Pusher, The Pimp (also like the flip, but it goes on too long IMO)

X-Ray OK

Stay Hard (one feels the kickdrum in one's scrotum)

Unlucky Punk

General Narcotic

Acid Culture (nice production, evil acid elements)

also have a soft spot for the B1 on SUF10, but i can't remember the name.

after 5 months of trying ive finally got

SUF69... 1 Night in Hackney :clap: :clap:

Excellent track. Very different to everything else on the label. I found it almost hypnotic.

Anx - Yes mate - everybodys boat is floated differntly huh? I really do enjoy the chewn - Im just a sucker for an old school feel. (bit like phil waslls remix of "errr ummm i cant think but its on tec.. that breakdown!!"

ahh fearless ^

Not saying its the best thing in the world mate - i just like it ;)

i love the 59 - rozzer's dog and 63 with ant too!
and of course unlucky punk and santa pod!!!

squat rock (sufr19), seriuos mind**** and trailer trash remixes :love: are the best sufr in my opinion

oh god , if i´m gonna put here all suf´s what i like , pffff :love:

i bloody love this label mates , i have a dream , buy all of the stay up´s
to made a collection , hehehe


cheers

I mus be the only one here who likes "**** the War"?? No mention of of this yet=o]

I like Fu*k the War, but it sounds a little bit too similar to the Serious Mind Fu*k remix!

So many brilliant tracks to choose from, it'd be unfair to not pick'em all! But here's the ones that really stand out and are my fav's:

Trip Hazard - Gottagetoutofit
Secret Hero - Build up the Pressure
Time Stretch Armstrong - Fuel for the Fire / Silver Surfer
Cosmic Trigger - Firefight
A&E Dept - Experiment 4 / The Rabbits name was...
Big in Germany - Green for Go
Trapeze Artists - General Narcotics
