The House Music Thread

[acidbearboy]

At the other end of the spectrum, also from 1995 (re-released in 2000), super sexy deep noodles from King Britt.

 

Scuba - Porno

 

 

[Art Vandelay]

I was listening to this back today. Imagine the temerity of anyone who made this, then continuing to make music and assuming they could ever do anything better. Ridiculous.

I wish those old Thomas Bangalter tracks were available to buy digitally. I have a couple of Roule twelves in the house, but not Trax on the Rocks. Although I think a couple of tunes were featured on the Irreversible soundtrack. 
 

Here’s some quality deep house from 1993. There are remixes from MAW and Timmy ‘Shelter’ Regisford, but they don’t stray far from the original, which is clean simple and elegant. 

 

Ten City - Fantasy

Does anyone know the tune played in the third video of this Instagram post?  It’s taken from a Fabric event at the end of March

The Soft Pink Truth (Drew Daniel, Matmos) have a new ep out. Their album from 2020 was my album of the year - this ep leans even further into house and there’s an album due shortly too.

 

This is awesome.

Like both of these. Especially the second one. Recently rereleased on vinyl and available digitally via Bandcamp.

Spotify played Love Story by Layo and Bushwacka after I listened to Leftfield's new album earlier.  I prefer this, which I came to via a Tyrant mix CD (Craig Richards and Lee Burridge).  As 'Tommy Townsend' says in the comments: "one for the more mature coffee table, MUCHO BUENO."

 

 

[acidbearboy]

I don't know what Layo brought to that partnership, but Bushwacka has done loads of great stuff on his own - House, Tech and Breaks.

 

Chorus

 

Healer

 

Harps

 

Afterglow (remix)

 

Billie Jean (bootleg)

 

[acidbearboy]

I almost forgot this gem of a remix he did with the Martin Luther King Jr. speech.

 

 

[Mr Monday]

Is this house or is it garage?  I don’t know but it’s got a filthy groove to it.  Not bad for 28 years old

Some gems on this 1989 Jackmaster compilation I grabbed a couple of weeks ago.

https://www.discogs.com/release/546136-Various-Jackmaster-Phuture-Trax

 

Female vocal deep house with a hint of acid - a really nice groove.

Shame about the slightly muffled mix-down, but this is the only place to find this particular track.

Chip E. - No Reason

 

 

And the absolute classic that I purchased the album for a digital copy of....

Fast Eddie - I Can Dance

 

[acidbearboy]

Another quality deep house/acid track from 1989. Found this one on a Dance Mania compilation.

 

Da Posse feat. Martel - Searchin' Hard (Mike Dunn's A.C. Mix)

 

[Art Vandelay]

I think most of everything from this era has that muffled sound quality. It's all part of the charm! It still amazes me how hard some of it sounds though, this tune for instance is nearly 40 years old and still completely goes off. The London mix ix clearly the best version too. 

 

 

Also, I love that the later Dance Mania ghetto house stuff is coming back around. I heard Lefto play a bunch of it and people were losing their minds. So much of it sounds like it came out next week. As raw as it gets.

Lol. What an innocent time.

 

 

[Mr Monday]

This is one of my early deep house favourites 

 

 

[acidbearboy]

Couple more old classics I've unearthed from the archives.

 

Ace & The Sandman - Let Your Body Talk 1992. Taken from the excellent Acid Rain boxset.

 

Fallout - The Morning After (Sunrise Mix) 1987!! Found on Classic House Mastercuts Volume 2.

 

 

 

[Art Vandelay]

Predictably brilliant mix from these dons. 

 

 

[acidbearboy]

Managed to bag a cheap copy of Lil Louis - Saved My Life on CD as it was a bit scuffed up. Thankfully EAC managed to rip the good versions without issue. I was after the Vintage Mix, which I remember hearing in a Danny Rampling mix, but the Tres Amigos Mix with MAW is also excellent. 
 

 

 

 

1992.

[acidbearboy]

Umoja - Unity 1990/1991
 

I thought the original mix by Marshall Jefferson and Sherman Burke (feat. Roy Davis Jr. on keyboards) was a solid production with a positive message in the vocals. The Joey Negro mixes are a touch of class though. 
 

Original and Instrumental

 

 

Joey Negro Body Mix (the best of three fairly similar mixes)

 

[acidbearboy]

Yet another compilation with good tracks I knew and something special I'd never heard of.

 

https://www.discogs.com/release/19784-Various-Classic-Acid-Mastercuts-Volume-1

 

That special something happens to be this subtle acid track from Tyree Cooper, with glorious piano noodles all over it (courtesy of Peter Black)

 

 

[acidbearboy]

Gotta drop this Peter Black tune, too. Big soulful male vocals on the original mix and a quality acid remix from Joe Smooth Rocky Jones.
