![]() ![]() Your host with the absolute most Jazzheadchronic Mickey Smith presenting a small taste of one his eclectic, uplifting anthemic 7 hr sets of globalistic funk, soul, rare groove, Motown, latin and disco direct from the dancefloors of South London's CLF Art Cafe / Bussey Building - to the whole of yoh soul. Review: A 74 Minute Snapshot of the twice monthly, 3 floor, 7 hr dancefloor behemoth that is The South London Soul Train. One of a four part series, each one is a keeper. From Frankie Bones' "Just As Long As I Got You" (from his fabled Bonesbreaks series) to the much darker side of Balearic king Nightmares On Wax in the form of "Aftermath", these are some of the many key records Fabio & Grooverider dug for to create a culture that's just as strong now as it was when it began 30 years ago. Celebrating 30 years since this seminal event, they've curated a series of albums that join the dots between the movement's cornerstones. Detroit and Belgian techno, US house, UK breakbeats, hip-house, Sheffield bleeps were all in the mixing pot as they started to pioneer a sound that would eventually become jungle. Review: ***B-STOCK: Records ever so slightly warped with slight surface marks, also creasing to corner of outer sleeve but otherwise in excellent condition***ĭeep in the trenches of the acid house revolution, Fabio & Grooverider were experimenting with a darker blend of sonics week in, week out at Rage, one of the UK's formative acid house nights. While the mix is definitely reminiscent of one of his renowned 12 - 4 warm up sets, the vinyl edition (which comes as a bonus with this double vinyl release in gatefold cover) is a fine collection timeless techno and future classics. There's some stripped and textured dub techno featuring Levon Vincent on "Can You See" and a jagged industrial experiment with fellow label mate Wincent Kunth on "Possible Step". Elsewhere, he dabbles in classic electro territory from Das Kombinat on "Waschmaschine", industrial proto-techno on Psychick Warriors Ov Gaia's "War Chant" (Marcel Dettmann edit) and some new exclusives from MDR HQ in the form of some interesting collaborations. ![]() The Berghain resident merges new takes on classics such as Cybersonik's "Technarchy" (Marcel Dettmann Third mix) and his remix of Infiniti's (aka Juan Atkins) "Skyway" alongside Mystic Bill's classic "U Won't C Me". Review: Berlin techno legend Marcel Dettmann is up next for !k7, compiling their latest edition of the esteemed DJ Kicks series. Oh, and did we mention every tune has been made for this collection? Perhaps the most exciting part of this delightful aural sedative, though, is the inclusion of heads more associated with pounding club adventures, for example Helena Hauff. Then caps it all off by hiring none other than chill legend Mixmaster Morris to put the lot together into one seamless set (available on the DL you get for nothing with the physical compilation).Ī project of huge proportions, there are some very familiar names here to anyone with a penchant for contemplative ambience-creating tunes - Julianna Barwick, Sigur Los, Ryuichi Sakamoto, Suzanne Ciani, to list but a few. ![]() Review: Ahead of Our Time, the original label Coldcut ran and now run alongside the ever-fantastic (in fact, never been better than it is right now) Ninja Tune, takes a dash of its sister imprint's artist roster, drafts a fine selection of external talent from the drone and ambient world, and unleashes an epic 29 track journey into the spiritual end of electronic music.
