Slaying Dancefloors at Will .Count Zer0.

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”

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.

Sorry for the repost but somehow I forgot to include the link the other day when I mentioned this new mix of deep house I did last week. As usual this was recorded off-the-cuff straight through in one take. These are all records that I had just got in the mail that day, I had only heard sound samples online before making this mix. The only post-work was to edit out a couple skips near the very end of the mix. All vinyl because you can’t see your reflection in shiny new mp3s. Tracklist behind the cut. Download the mix here.
