Flashback Friday Music Share for 06/24/2016

I’m mostly in a rave mood today, so here’s one I encountered when I saw a “Best Piano House” playlist:

Title: Far Out (Original Scratchadelic Mix)
Artist: Son’z Of A Loop Da Loop Era
Label: Suburban Base Records

Genre(s): Rave, Hardcore
Year released: 1991

While I’ve honestly never heard of Son’z Of A Loop Da Loop Era, I was surprised to find it was an alias for the infamous D&B DJ and Producer Danny Breaks. His story was of many back in the day who owned or worked for a record shop, and eventually launched a label from it. He was one of the influencers and pushers of the broken beat hardcore sound, with the Smart E’s being one of the label’s biggest sellers. I’ll have to admit the sound of Far Out seems to be where many producers in 92, 93, and so forth borrowed from.

Last one for me today. Changing gears into the life after the rave explosion:

Title: Didn’t I Know (Divas To The Dancefloor…Please) (D.C. Vs. Junior Vasquez Mix)
Artist: E.G. Fullalove
Label: Emotive Records

Genre(s): House
Year released: 1994

EG Fullalove is also known as Ehryck F. Gilmore, who apparently is a Hypnotherapist, Life Coach and Author. Creating this 90s club anthem started as a lifelong ambition for him just to produce house music, but I don’t think he ever imagined it would have blown up like it did. I’ll remember how this tune even made it into the regular rotation on Top 40 radio here in Chicago…which was a hell of an achievement for a dance music producer at the time.
