140 House Beat from me

I made a cheesy (but happy) little house beat last night, as usual very basic & simple – but it was fun to do & more or less made itself. Made in Logic 9 using mostly preset sounds (with loads of processing) & a couple of bass noises that remind me of ‘speed garage’. I also rewire Ableton to Logic so that its quick & easy to bounce loops into a project. Although the bass sounds quite loud it doesn’t hit hard on a sub – doesn’t matter ...

Wicked man in Madenabena!

DJ Dextrous & Rude Boy Keith – Wicked Here’s one from the golden age of Jungle, 1994 to be precise. It comes from an EP called “The Kings of the Jungle Part One” on Suburban Base, but at the time I had this track on a mixtape bought from a man with a suitcase full of tapes outside Brixon tube station with nothing written on it except “Noodles – Razor Jungle Dub”. The tune kicks off with the familiar “Ring the Alarm” reggae bassli ...

Completely awesome

Tune Yards – “Lions” Am at a bit of a loss selecting the genre categories on this one, so I’ve just gone for “completely awesome”. The Tune Yards- Merrill Garbus. Kind of hard to describe, so you’ll just have to listen to it. Drums, bass, vocals- she has the most incredibly dynamic range, a voice of amazing subtlety and power- and of course, ukelele’s. Not usual fare for DC but I stumbled across this on the weekend, and I’ve bee ...

Instra:mental – “Voyeur” Been out a while but only just crossed my ears- and shortly after my turntables. This is an understated, sinister, belter of a tune. The duo behind it- Alex Green and Damon Kirkham- have been producing quality electronic music for a good long while now, and have a bunch of strings to their musical bows, releasing electro, acid, dnb and non-classifiable things that get filed under “post dubstep” (whatever that is) going by a variety ...

Curious Hardcore

Haute Control – Dream Series A couple of tracks here from the rare-as-rocking-horse “Future Stylin’ E.P.” from 1993 (only 24 people have a copy on Discogs, 113 want it, including me, and Hard To Find Records haven’t had a copy in since 2001). Dream Series is an odd track, it’s hardcore but not quite as we know it… The combination of crisp breakbeats and heavy bass with really quirky samples and synths reminds me very much of the Wagon Christ so ...

The Sound Of The Future in 1993

Haute Control – Future Stylin’ Future Stylin’ (as you might guess) is the opening track from the “Future Stylin’ E.P.” and is much more straight up hardcore than Dream Series, probably picked for the A-side as it would more instantly appeal to DJs. The opening bars of mellow piano soon give in to the high-pitched synth hook and a wicked breakbeat that varies beautifully throughout the track. The super-crisp and intricately crafted beats mark this out ...

Chubb Rock with Howie Tee – Ya Bad Chubbs (Crib Mix) It’s been a while I know, but enjoying this with the sunshine blazing I felt compelled to share it with any of our dear readers who still pass by occasionally just to check if we’ve shut down altogether yet. It’s a jam from back in 1989, a pretty straightforward rip of Raze’s unmistakable Break 4 Love beat (at least I think that’s where it originated…) with some great funky synth, a liberal sm ...

Mayer Hawthorne- “The Ills” Completing (belatedly) the trio of soul for 2011, is this new school number from Stonesthrow’s Mayer Hawthorne. Born and raised in Michigan, his sound is rooted in Motown soul. With his falsetto vocals and multiple-instrumental talents, he’s part Smokey, part Curtis and part Stevie, but although he’s real old school, and draws from the same well, he’s got his own style and sensibility too.

Skanna – Nightstalker Nightstalker is taken from Skanna’s well-named The Future EP on the awesome Whitehouse Records. I say well-named because the sounds of the forward-thinking hardcore you find on there wouldn’t be amiss on much later records.

Legal Offence – Burnin’ Up (Piano Mix) Next up in our duo of 1993 bass-heavy tracks is this gem on Deep 7 Records. It’s much more of a straightforward hardcore banger than Night Stalker, and the intro includes a lot of ravey stabs that might make it sound dated to some ears. OK, OK, granted it does sound a little dated, but just wait for it: when the bassline drops (the first time is at about 1.12 in), it is absolutely MASSIVE! I also like how this “Piano Mix ...

"Can You Call Bill Oddie and..."

Brother Typewriter – The Sanctuary Apologies for lack of posts in the last couple of months – things have just been increbily hectic. Here’s another one in the occasional series of East Anglian-themed ambient releases from north Essex’s finest, Brother Typewriter. This track basically consists of a long sample from an old BBC record of East Anglian bird noises (complete with preposterously posh-sounding narrator) which I found in a charity shop in Saxmundham, ...

More From Ron

Ron Trent – Making Love After the Double K posted ‘Altered States’ by Ron Trent a short while ago, I was moved to hunt down a vinyl copy. The original release goes for lots of money, but there’s a great double 12” released by Djax Up Beats that features the original, lots of remixes (including the fantastic Carl Craig mix), and a couple of other tunes, of which this is one. For me this tune has an air of melancholy that I wouldn’t generally associate ...

#2 in the continuing 'Suffolk Ambient' series...

Brother Typewriter – Floating Off the Coast of Lowestoft Another track from the Burning Lodge speed-composition stable, following last year’s Rendlesham 1980. The vast majority of the tracks I’ve produced in these sessions are not really stylistically suitable for this blog, but the odd ambient thing does come out of the sessions, so here we are. Nerd info: this piece features the Arturia CS80V with a bit of electric guitar over the top. The CS80V is a software re ...

Something's Burning

Brother Typewriter – Rendlesham 1980 Finally I’ve got my act together and managed to complete a track of ‘electronic listening music’ (well, if a treated electric guitar counts as ‘electronic’...) It happened as follows: after at least 6 years of prevarication and noodling about with various sounds I was catapulted into action by joining the Burning Lodge Immersion Composition Lodge. Immersion Composition is a speed songwriting technique designed to ...

Big J's Beautiful Biggie Beta Band Blend

Fuck up the party before it even start – Biggie & The Beta Band This should have been done years ago, the a cappella from Biggie’s “Bullshit and Party” was one of his early big solo tunes appearing on the “Who’s the Man?” soundtrack in 1994. The underlying song is from British real-time folk-hoppers The Beta Band. The song is “I know” from “The Three EPs” released in 1998. Anyhow…Not the most challenging piec ...

Massaged message

jaydee and grandmaster flash–“e = the message squared”The track on this mash up isJ Dilla’se=mc2, off the recent BBE releasethe Shining– a compilation of Dilla instrumentals. It has all his late lamented style- a bass-line that bumps, soulful vocoded atmospherics, and beats so laid back and heavy that they’re lying down, and unable to get up again. So so good, I just had to find an acapella to set it off right.The first one I reached for was Grandmaster ...

On All Fours - Tumblekool and the Cherrry Bbomb

So ive journeyed over to london town for the anarchist bookfair, the main attraction being that Kevvy K is taking me to It Came From the Sea tomorrow night. Im going along with an old mate of mine, Tumblekool, a resident of Dalston. Tonight he’s played me a couple of his tunes, which i’ve really enjoyed, and thus thought i’d share one with you. He’s an old time dj buddy of mine…we used to put a night on way back in the day. Since selling out and moving to Lo ...

Diva O'Riley

Not the first time The Who has been featured here on DC, but not quite like this. I’ve had this a cappella since I started DJing and I think I have finally found it’s bastard pop home. Not a finished tune, kinda en route to being a house tune, but I thought I’d post it to see what you all think. I love the massive intro and crazy prog rock arrangement and is one of those one-in-a-million things that the vocal is (almost) in key. I don’t know who the vocal is, ...

Have a few beers, attack the old wheels of steel with drunken enthusiasm and post the results, throwing caution to the wind… The first is the DFA remix of Slide In by Goldfrapp, the second Cobblestone Jazz’s Dump Truck, then Love Action by the League Unlimited Orchestra (see earlier post), followed by Maurice Fulton with Revenge of the Orange from Beats and Pieces vol 1 (thanks for the pressie, Jim!) and finishing off with Pungtang by Car ...

Houston, we have a problem

It’s not flat beat but it’s ok – Whitney Houston v. Mr Oizo As promised the other week, here’s that Basement Jaxx inspired Whitney/Mr Oizo mashup. Flat Beat still sounds great – glad that I’ve been reminded to dig it out. Whitney’s dulcet tones over the top work very well – but then the Jaxx boys are full of good ideas. Thanks to Kevvy K for unearthing the It’s not right… accapella and making it possible. Mr Oizo is still turning ...

To mark the occasion, here is a special DC homegrown creation that’s hot off my platters- a mash up of de la soul’s “the Bizness” over “turn it up a little” by the UK’s own mighty TY (though it’s the Nextmen really).

Potty Mouth

Ectomorph “Parallax View” vs Amanda Blank “Bump” I’d just like to make it clear that I in no way condone this type of gutter-mouthed filth from baltimore crony Amanda Blank. I used it twice in this so you can really hear how utterly unacceptable it is. Spank Rock have released the acapellas for yo!, so I am sure there are oodles of these mashups knocking around. Blank has a fantastic flow and switches speeds in a breath, her delivery matches Ectomorph& ...

Strictly Jazz. Nice.

GU – “S.J.U.” GU is Glenn Underground, another of those big fellas out of Chicago. This is a mid nineties second wave release on Cajual, the label set up and run by Cajmere (AKA Green Velvet in non-Green haired maniac performance art mode) which featured the talents of many quality producers such as Boo Williams (who worked with Glenn on their Strictly Jaz Unit project), Johnny Fiasco, Derrick Carter and DJ Sneak. Pound for pound, seriously heavy stuff, although Johnny F ...

What's the time, Mister Wolf?

Squeaker – “Mister Wolf” Another rough and ready production from the squeaker studios. This was cobbled together a good few years ago now. I really need to get the equipment up and running again. The best thing about this is the inspiration for the title. DC bloggers P Rice, Alboy and I, attended a Madlib/Peanut Butter Wolf gig at 93 Feet East on Brick Lane a few years back. They were absolutely fantastic of course, managing to include both We Are Siamese from Lady and ...

Four for one (and one for all)

Here’s a little medley of some recently purchased tunes that I did at the end of last week. Rather than post stuff separately, thought I’d give you a taste of a few together, seamlessly mixed for your pleasure. ;-) The first is the Tom Middleton Cosmos mix of the stupendous Bar a Thym by Kerri Chandler; the second is Carl Craig’s C2 remix 1 of Fly Me Away (remix 4 was posted by Kevvy K so thought I’d go for variation); the third is Stargirl by Tommie Nevada from th ...

Gas Giant - The Soul Mines of Jupiter

…………It has been known since the earliest journeys to the outer realms, that Jupiter contained vast quantities of funk in thick seams deep beneath the storm clouds we see from earth. Scientist have since discovered that, when excited by pulses of audio energy beamed from earth, the whole planet resonates with a soul all of its own. This pastime is called Soul Mining – It requires the deepest darkest beats, but the real work is down to the Gas Giant itself… ...

The track itself has typical heavy, tight and sparse wu-production from RZA, and flow from the Genius… ...and then half way through I flip the instrumental and it’s “fuck you” by ...

We're All Winning

While we’re on a rocking out tip… I got an e-mail this morning from a mate called Joel who I shared a flat with about 14 years ago – he’s in a band and they’ve recorded a World Cup Anthem. This isn’t the kind of thing I’d usually post, but I do quite like the horn section on here, and I just couldn’t resist the hype: “I think you’ll agree it is easily, by far and away, the best football song ever written, but also transcends ...
