ParticipantIts already a year old but I discovered it just recently:
Artist: Gerd (Gert-Jan Bijl) (not me, unfortunately)
Title: Still Believe
Label: DFTD (a sub label from Defected)
Genre: House, Deep HouseParticipantMy picks for this week:
Supermax Love Machine (1977)
This was a big disco hit in the german speaking countries and rightly so.
The Band Supermax was an Austrian/German project.
“Supermax toured as the first mixed-race band through South Africa. Despite warnings and death threats, they finished the tour, but this made some countries refuse permits for entry, and consequently the group was black-listed by some political organizations.”https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aGPvMUBySD0
From Switzerland one of the (still) most inovatives Bands ever:
Yello
From 1979 their first big Hit:
Bostichand another awesome track from those swiss masterminds:
Yello On track (Doug Laurent´s first Journey) (1992)
ParticipantThis week another proof that there are high quality tracks for free out there:
Artist: RIVERS
Title: Soft (Paul Gilmore Remix)
Genre: Deep / Nu Disco / Chill HouseYou find a download link in the description under the video, you just have to follow them on Sondcloud.
ParticipantThat Delegation tune is just begging to be remixed into some funky house.
There is actually one. Couldn’t find a video but here is a link to Traxsource:
http://traxsource.com/title/219964/reach-for-the-skyParticipantIs it possible to add always a link to last weeks Flashback Friday in the first post?
That would make it easier to go through all the last posts.ParticipantNow this time I didn’t rely on my memory to find my classics, I went were I keep my old vinyl and did some digging.
(Wasnt looking at those for quite a while).
And I found one box labeled with ‘Must Play’.
So from this box my 3 classics:Delegation – Stand Up Reach For The Sky (1979)
These guys were playing a few times live in an local club. Awesome memories:Chic – Le Freak (1978)
Undeniable a timeless masterpiece.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sRJuLy9mCCY
Steve Arrington – Feel So Real (1985)
Brilliant piece of feel-good-musicParticipantOh, good you didn’t forget. I really like the idea, and DJing is all about sharing music isn’t it?
Well, anyway I found a really nice track last weekend:Artist: Yousef
Title: Let go
Genre: Deep/Tech House
Label: Circus RecordingsParticipantOk, I got another one. It was one of my ‘secret weapons’ back in the 80s and it always worked. The crowd went crazy.
But I have to warn you. Very explicit language is used.ParticipantIn the early 80s a suprisingly slow beat became a mega banger in the clubs (called discotheques back then).
Its an all time classic and still give me goosebumps when played on an high quality PA.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8_ICsYzoWbk
Another classic from the early 90s with those lyrics that stick with me forever
“The judgment: if it were to fall upon you today which flower would you be The Red Rose or The Black This is the warning”ParticipantThis time I have an awesome new tune from the british genius DJ Damian Lazarus.
Track: Vermillion
Artist: Damian Lazarus
Genre: Deep/Soulful House
Label: Crosstown RebelsIf u dont know that brilliant guy you should check out his very intense and inovativ set he did for Boilerroom:
Damian Lazarus Boiler Room DJ SetParticipantThe seocond LP I ever bought was Kraftwerk – Autobahn. I was around 12 years back then. In the same year I bought also my third LP Temptations, The – All Directions.
Those two really different LPs really shaped my musical taste til today.So my 2 classics for today are:
From Kraftwerk (not from Autobahn, from a later LP) one of the most sampled themes ever:
and from the Temptations their all time classic:
