A to Z E.D.M.

Morning all.
A couple from Junior Boys Own label (in my box anyway)
X-Press 2 - The Sound (Nush Pizza X-Press Mix)
X-Press 2 - Rock 2 House (Plasticman's Acid House Remix) [could do with being pitched up a tad IMO]
&
Xen Mantra - Golden Delicious (Dandylion and Burdock Mix)
 
The Frog one reminded me of one I had on a provisional list that didn't make it..
G.T.O. The Bullfrog
?

I saw GTO live at Rezerection back in Oct '93 and it was one of the craziest stage shows I have seen. Utter bonkers with angle grinders and metal plates strapped to their bodies.
Lee Newman is a huge miss in the dance scene and Mike Wells went quiet for a while after she died. Happily he restarted the Technohead name and produced some decent stuff thereafter.
 
Morning, all. I am ready to take the flak here, I am going for a US style mulligan today!
Let me explain, early on I had this scrappy piece of paper that I scribbled odd things down on so I wouldn't forget. For some unknown reason I wrote this this in the wrong place. Really odd as I know full well who it is by as it is one of my favs. I spotted my error a few letters ago, and it felt too late to go backwards - so here goes
o_O

Mory Kante - Yeke Yeke
I like so many of the mixes, e.g. Hardfloor Remix, Hardfloor Dub, and the Afro Acid Remix which is ironically probably the least "acidic" depending on your base points.

All this is distracting from the point that I don't have a "proper" Y !

So my off piste, bit different is something from the clubby, dancy, hip hop side
Young MC - Know How like so many, re-introduced through films and adverts, some interesting mixes out there also. Also Bust A Move.

Looking forward to seeing what else come out..
 
For my Y picks, I will go for

Upbeat/Hardcore

Yoshiko - Pop It
Yuta Imai - Back To You
Yves Deruyter - Rave City [Very old school sounds, only just falls in to hardcore territory]

Trance

Yves Deruyter - Animals
Young Parisians - U Write The Rules (Solar Stone Remix)
Yves Deruyter - Calling Earth (Original Mix)
Y-Traxx - Mystery Land (Fred Baker & Mr Sam Instrumental Mix)
Yoji Biomehanika - Samurai
Yves Deruyter - Back to Earth

And the very funky Yellow Blackboard - Superfly (Original Mix)

Something a bit different

YH Feat Laura Brehm - Suppressant
 
And look how the speed is cranked up :LOL:(y)

I noticed how much the new ones are going for on that Link on Fish's thread :eek:

Haha, yeah it was a slow tune that was on :D

The new 1210/1200G and GR are total precision machines though. The top end is £3.5k and the "normal" version is £1.2k. Having had a play around with a set of the new ones, the platter feels lighter but the body heavier (compared with a 1994 set anyway). The one think I have never liked on newer Technics deck is the quartz lock buttons, I just don't see the need for them outside of it being used as a "normal" record player.

Nice one Greig.
It's a big fat zero from me ?

I was going to suggest a numbers day tomorrow (any number).

Then over the bank holiday weekend just an open house, alphabet revisited. For any you can't believe you didn't mention at the time.

Maybe with hindsight one letter a day was too aggressive. I certainly have a lot to go back to when time to listen to other's lists.
I guess on the other thread there might have been one or two with a little more time on their hands ??

Nah, I have enjoyed the trawl through my archives. Got a good couple for numbers too. Then happy to go freeform on them alphabetty-lettys ?
