Feel my Bicep

This deep house classic was released on Trax records in 1986, if you want a history lesson on early house music, look at the Trax release list which began around ‘85.  The record is written by Robert Owens and Larry Heard, who helped shape the sound of dance. These two collaborated under Fingers Inc, responsible for classics like Mystery of Love. But this original release went under Robert Owens name.

Classic 1990’s techno, this kid was 14 when he produced this track! Trent’s father was a disco DJ. He recorded the track “Altered States” while still a high schooler, releasing it on Armando’s Warehouse Records in 1990. The track became a huge club hit among devotees of techno, despite Trent’s grounding in the Chicago house scene.  This classic detroit sound has had an influence on uk labels, especially lots of the earlier  Soma releases etc. Enjoy

Yes, that’s right. We are posting a Roger Sanchez remix, but it’s not the Brie drenched fanny farts you’d expect to hear being pumped out at some San Antonio gay bar, it’s a dark and loopy early 90’s chuggathon’. This is pretty rare, vinyl’s are super hard to come by, as are the mp3’s!

Even Missy Elliot sampling ‘Clear’ cant kill the classic cosmic groove. Everyone knows this one, unfortunately more than likely the sampled version  nowadays. Big fans of Atkins and Davis, check out some of our earlier posts on these guys.

When it breaks down to just the drums…..Just you try and tell me you don’t wish you were in a 90s warehouse rave, complete with buzz cut and white puffer jacket.

This classic has kept me going all day, one of the first vinyls I bought, but didn’t even play it until I heard Garnier play it Live a few weeks after. There is something about it which makes you want to do the techno viking- on fast forward. All the talk of The Man with the red face but this tune has a special place in my heart, up there with my favorite techno tunes.

I was looking at past reviews of this record and found out this track apparently “is known for giving dancers a good aerobic workout.” mmmm a true classic, decided to stick this up after listening to a couple of horrible edits/remixes. This is a high quality remastered version, providing extra BEEF in the low end department.

When you’ve got a funky hypnotic tune made in the early eighties that last for over 16 minutes, you know its gotta be good. macho city is a favourite and it combines everything that is good. Nothing needs to be said for Abracadabra.

Tota -- Africa

Possibly one of Carl’s best ever remixes! Beefy tribal rework with haunting african vocals, great sampled hand claps and a typically big bass line which swirl up into a properly rocking groove!!!! You’ll love this one.
