All Purpose Beats Since 1996
Twenty years ago (TWENTY!) on a Friday night like this I typically would have been getting ready to go to the local dance club Bonkers in my sleepy little town of Latrobe, PA. Here are a couple of the songs I would have been desperately hoping the DJ would play, not necessarily in this order:
and warner brothers doesn’t allow embedding on this one:
When I was nine years of age there wasn’t a more mysterious and awe-inspiring musical instrument than the Synclavier.
The Synclavier was responsible for a large portion of the sound of one of my favorite pop albums of all time, Hall and Oate’s Big Bam Boom. It’s too bad the irony and sensuality of the song All American Girl is lost on the dim person who made this jingoistic looking “video” for the song to post on YouTube
I know I am starting to risk looking like nothing but a matrixsynth reblogger, but this is too funny/awesome to pass up. This dead-ringer for a certain famous physicist tore apart a classic roland synth and turned it into a three tier organ type thang
now that’s what i call circuit bending!
man, i can’t really decide which one i like better, tensnake
or the track it nicked, “what i like” by anthony and the camp
rumor has it that Coca Cola is going to roll out a new formula Coke sometime this summer, possibly an attempt to compete with Pepsi’s throwback cane-sugar bevs?
what has this got to do with techno or house? nothin’, but there was a dope acid house dj mix by jackmaster called “drinking coca-cola and eating mcdonalds” that helped rekindle my interest in house back in 2006. i will post it when i get around to ripping it from CD again.
this was one of the dope tracks from the aforementioned dj mix
this was another one of the cuts that hooked me
my blogroll was long overdue for an overhaul so i updated it this eve. added a record stores link, so go buy some vinyl yunz!
just don’t buy any copies of this record or i will have to fight you for them
“so tired of all the darkness in our lives”

So over the holidays I spent time at my fiance’s family home in Dayton, OH. While there I hit up a couple lesser known record spots in the historical Oregon District. This is a quick and dirty list of what $75 will get you in Dayton over Xmas:

Yeah, that’s what’s up. $2.5 per record (including shipping back to NYC) and nearly everything is in “very good plus” or better condition.
This cat Harlem Nights shows great potential. Recommended viewing/listening to this little electro/boogie ditty.
