Quando Quango - Love Tempo

Playing back in Manchester a week next thursday night for the first time in a year or so at a night called Bank at Joshua Brooks - http://tinyurl.com/okpc83s - Can't play in Manchester without giving one of Factory Records finest releases an airing!

Really looking forward to this one as I've heard great reports about the night.

Pedestrians - Commuter Fantasy

Great leftfield proto-house oddity from 1981 which has just been re-released by the ever reliable Nang. The original vinyl of this changes hands for £30 plus so go grab yourself a bargain - http://www.junodownload.com/products/pedestrians-commuter-fantasy/2122119-02/?trackid=1

Leftside Wobble - Grapevine Boogie (Free Download)

Many thanks to the Horse Meat Disco boys for allowing me to give this remastered version of Grapevine Boogie as a free download to in honour of Big In Japan's 6th Birthday in a few weeks time. Don't forget we've got the double header of Daniel Wang & Ray Mang as well as my good self on the evening -

Love Groove

Re-grooved version of a Cerrone classic that builds, twists & undulates over the course of it's near nine minute journey. In many ways this was the prototype for House music but using real musicians rather than machines. A simple infectious groove that gets under your skin and builds towards a stunning sax laden crescendo towards the close. Can't wait to drop this on Friday at Big in Japan @ The Book Club - http://tinyurl.com/69ho9en

Jamie Principle - Waiting On My Angel

Apologies for my silence of late; a combination of increased workload and and other general complications has kept me away from any studio projects for the last 12 weeks or so, but hopefully things are back on track.

This edit is a very late submission to the DJ History Trax re-edit/remix project (many thanks to Mr Brewster for his patience). It was Jamie Principles first release back in 1985 on Persona records which saw a re-release on Trax in 2000. It's a simple slice and dice affair, no overdubs or such like but hopefully an apt take on the arrangement for current dancefloors.

Also of note, the Pocket Angel/Find A Way 12" was finally released a week or so ago (on Autodiscoteque) and has been getting support from the likes of Ashley Beedle, Laurent Garnier, Horse Meat Disco, Popular Peoples Front, Pete Herbert, Red Rack’em, OOFT, Downtown Party Network, Marius Vaareid. So if you haven't picked it up yet it's available at these fine record stores amongst others:

Autodiscotheque Music

Described as more Ron Trent than Larry Levan, this will be the home for the Pocket Angel release (with Find A Way on the flip) when it hits the stores in a month or so. Make sure to hunt down these other essential releases on the label too.

Red Rack'em - Place For Me by Autodiscotheque Music

Richard Sen & Cazbee - Cat Dance by Autodiscotheque Music

Grapevine Boogie

Basaed on an eighties proto house/electro boogie track - You're All Played Out by L.I.F.E. ; this started out as an exercise in (kings of the edit) Latin Rascals edit techniques, took a trip to Detroit for some Motown love and has ended up in a bizarre electric Balearic discothèque!

Hopefully due on vinyl sometime soon.

Leftside Wobble - On & On

Leftside Wobble meets Mach for a re-spin of what is supposedly the first ever house record! Jessie Saunders got the credit but the original came out on a limited white label pressing in 1980 (only 500 copies) and is apparently by a Cuban DJ from Miami... Whatever the true story, the key samples come from Playback - Space Invaders (Bassline) & Donna Summer - Bad Girls (Acapella).

I've linked to the original as a YouTube video).


Hope you like...

Delirious Influences part 2

One of the things that made the UK stand out in the late eighties was our ability to not be ruled be restrictive "genre walls"; call it the original Balearic spirit if you will. This second installment of Delirious Influences attempts to capture some of that musical diversity with a selection born out of Chicago, Detroit, New York, Miami, Manchester, Sheffield, London and of course San Rafael in Ibiza.

House, Techno, Garage, Nu Wave, Acid, Tribal, Miami Deep, Breakbeat - good memories ensured for those who should know better and a great musical journey for those new to some of these tracks.

Bang The Party - Bang, Bang, Your Mine
No Smoke - Koro Koro
DSR - Thrust

Delirious Influences part 2 by Leftside Wobble

Delirious Influences part 1

In mid eighties London there were a group of clubs that held sway for the musically adventurous; The Mud Club, Raw and City of Angels to name a few, but one club in particular had a lasting impact on me and that was Noel and Maurice Watson's Delirium. It had that essential mix of cool kids and fashion but with a raw street edge. Musically the club originally played a mix of Hip Hop and Electro but they always had a sense of musical innovation and so Delirium was one of the first places I heard House music in both its New York and Chicago guises (much to the disapproval of much of the 2,500 regular crowd, who would bottle the DJ booth whenever the groove moved into House territory!). So in honour of Noel and Maurice's influence on my future musical tastes I've put together a series of mixes charting my early pilgrimages in search of the repetitive beat.

Many thanks to Louis of the consistently top-notch Dublin Bus Disco for inspiring me to put this series of mixes together.

Tracklisting:

Fingers Inc - Mystery Of Love
Harlequin Fours - Set It Off
Nitro Deluxe - Let's Get Brutal
T-Coy - Carino
The It - Donnie
Cultural Vibe - Ma Foom Bey
Jamie Principle - Baby Wants To Ride
Blaze - Whatcha Gonna Do
Trak This - Intense (I'm Happy)
E.S.P. - It's You

Raze - Jack The Groove
