This week I have been mostly listening to...

[Si the Sigh]

...old releases! I'm sick of the new stuff. I suggest you dig these classics out for a little listen:

1) Quantifier & Kektex - Pulsar / Kektex - Pull The Strings #16

Utterly superb tracks. This release wouldn't have been out of place on Routemaster. Love the side with the old skool hardcore riff. Simple almost minimal tracks, where not a lot happens but you get sucked into that groove.

2) Kektex - Piston / Bugswat - Routemaster #07

Both sides are amazing, but Piston takes the biscuit for me. A proper, proper fat tune! It's all about the percussion, and spaced out sounds. A real sonic soundscape, and mixes a treat with my next choice...

3) Kektex - Lock / In The Forehead - Routemaster #05

Lock is the obvious choice for many here, but in my opinion the flips the better track. Seriously dark and fu*ked up. Atmospheric as hell, something thats really missing from todays releases. What happened to the druggy, out there, haunting sounds?

4) Lawrie Immersion - Slut Fu*k / Butt Fu*k - Smitten #09

Freaky, fu*ked up, out there, Lord Lawrie, blaa blaa, etc, etc...

5) OS/2 & Underground Cyber Movement - Vibrate - Boscaland #37

The Chris Liberator mix of this is to die for. If I am right, I believe this was released around the same time(ish) as Typhoon & Cats Eye on Prolekult, again 2 more completely out there and superb tracks from Mr Liberator.

What have you been listening to this week so far?

kektex side is probably my fave acid track ever.. very few tracks bring back memories like this... maybe "lock" but its a close call.

[Si the Sigh]

Almost forgot, I've been hammering these as well...

6) TD5 - Criminal Damage - Off The Wall #12

The Chris Liberator mix of this is ace. 'Nuff said! Subway Life is a cool track as well.

7) Chris Liberator - Spectrum / Skin Rattle - Bag #??

Quite early release from Chris Liberator on the uber hard to find Bag label. The production is quite weak, but the ideas in the tracks are cool. Quite trancey in places, quite like some of his early TeC stuff.

Not listened to that for ages. Will have to dig that out later. I really liked Gravel & Facelift on Cluster as well, and the early releases that had 303's before the label went all nasty techno...nice!

Site Breakers - Hash Fudge Dave / Porridge Pete on Stay Up Forever 51.

Both tracks are fat and are killing.
This is one of my first SUF tunes i bought...and i can't tell which track is better.

Bring more old school sound producers please...i can't wait for paul cortex label...hope it will be out soon mate.

[paulcortex]

Yeah not too far away now...just trying to decide which tracks to press, i have a habit of writing something better each time and its a bit frustrating deciding what to go for lol

LONDON

1. Shaft Punk - Squat Rock (Stay Up Forever Remix)
Love the orginal tune but henry's remix its the one of the finest remix ive ever heard, classic!

2. Sharkey - Product Of Society (Smitten's Once Bitten Mix) (React)
Wicked acid techno tune, very fast & steve smitten remix, lovin it.

3. D.A.V.E. The Drummer - In The Freeze (Routemaster)
One of my fav routremasters.

4. Audio Pancake - Tandoori Nights (Karmic Records)
Realy miss for records like this, audio pancake record, trancey, fast and of course with a lot of 303, if i could try find best record by guy and carl this should get my vote on.

5. Temperature Drop - Spit Point (Cluster)
Dave The Drummer + Guy = Quallity release and this cluster its my fav one i think.


OUTSIDE LONDON

1. Ivan - Red Star (Intensiv)
Produced by my hero Oliver Lieb.

2. Nervous Project - II - Tower EP (Labworks Germany)
Holger Wick hes a founder labworks label & also great producer. Two massive acid techno tunes here and one acid trance. Great release from big 303 lover.

3. Aurin - Mecon (Harthouse)
I know why i still love acid after listening this tune again.....

4. Jammin' Unit - Flower Swing (DJ.Ungle Fever)
I think tune on A1 its one of the best acid and atmospheric track produced by colonge artists ever, total respect for the producer - Cem Oral.
Unfortunately record rare as hell ... Good luck with this one.

5. DP-SOL - Spacecakes Part 1-10 - Live In Oslo (The Spacefrogs)
Its not a vinyl release, its near 70 min live act by Oliver Lieb and Dennis Pierre Sarratou released on cd version only.
Hunted few weeks ago from ebay and i cant stop listening it.
Its a great ambient and downtempo mixture with a lot 303.
Live from 1994.
