Chez Damier – Untitled

Oct 01 2010
Filed In: Chatter, Classics

When it come to stories about the origins of the Detroit and Chicago scenes, a name sure to be at the forefront is Chez Damier. After starting The Music Institute in the late 80′s in Detriot, Chez (aka Anthony Pearson) then ran the KMS studio and label for Kevin Saunderson. Then the real business of […]

The Orb – Little Fluffy Clouds

Sep 24 2010
Filed In: Chatter, Classics

This week’s classic is “Little Fluffy Clouds”, taken from the The Orb’s seminal album “The Orb’s Adventures Beyond the Ultraworld” released in 1991. Using various samples (the most recognisable being the electric guitar from Steve Reich’s excellent composition “Electric Counterpoint”, and the harmonica sample taken from Ennio Morricone’s “The Man With The Harmonica”) it mixes […]

Underworld – Mmm Skyscraper I Love You

Sep 17 2010
Filed In: Chatter, Classics

With Underworld’s new album “Barking” just around the corner, I thought it’d be a good time to listen back to them at their very very best. This is, without a doubt, their finest moment and although the material that followed it was good, it never came close to capturing the magic of “Mmm Skyscraper I […]

Aphex Twin – Xtal

Sep 10 2010
Filed In: Chatter, Classics

My turn again for the Friday Classic, and I’ve chosen the opening track from Aphex Twin’s brilliant debut release “Selected Ambient Works 85–92“. Released in 1992, to critical acclaim at the time, it has been hailed by Warp Records as being “both the birthplace and the benchmark of modern electronic music”. Compared to some of […]

Mr Fingers – Can You Feel It

Sep 03 2010
Filed In: Chatter, Classics

Back to the dawn of house for this weeks classic as we let Mr Fingers (aka Larry Heard) do the talking. “Can you feel it” is one of several seminal Chicago house tunes released by Larry his friends and their many fingers guises. For me this is the most notable with the Jackson 5 sample […]

Acen – Trip II The Moon (Kaleidoscopiklimax)

Aug 27 2010
Filed In: Chatter, Classics

We’re going in with some rave breakbeat goodness on today’s Friday Classic from Acen. This is one of my all time favourites and still never fails to bring a shiver to my spine on each listen. There were three versions of the track and the stand out version for me was Pt3 – the Kaleidoscopiklimax. […]

In his early years he played bass and keyboards for mostly funk and soul bands before doing studio work, recording and mixing for numerous Dutch acts as well as for international artists such as Ian Gillan and Falco.

Optical – The Shining

Aug 13 2010
Filed In: Chatter, Classics

This Friday’s classic sees us wander down memory lane with a bit of drum n bass history. Released in 1997 on Matrix’s “Metro” imprint, it was Optical’s finest moment at that point in time and in my opinion has rarely been bettered. By the time this was released, Optical had already stood head and shoulders […]

Belfast – Orbital

Aug 06 2010
Filed In: Chatter, Classics

Dating from 1991, Orbital’s “Belfast” stands out for me as being an absolute classic in electronic music terms. Featuring an ethereal vocal sample taken from Hildegard von Bingen’s “O Euchari in leta via“, the track falls somewhere between downtempo house & chillout anthem. The soundtrack to many a weekend for me & countless people over […]
