From the Picotto school or Hard Dance-- a twisted slice of funky techno with a mind twisting synth-line. Intense stuff... this one gets ***1/2 (out of 4)

[Valencia Styles]

meh it didn't do it for me. i'm not into the mario bros. sounding tracks. when it kicks back in it's not so bad, but when that beat isn't behind it, it's pretty weak.

it gets * out of 4 for effort

i'm not a big fan of hard dance anymore, but i DO like that track. the synth is pretty sweet, and i think de-cheeses the track a good bit :thumbsup:

The OD404 mix brings back some oldskool influences and incorporates a lot of clever production skills. I love all of Dom and Oz's tracks.

[sassypance]

i didn't really like the build up, but when it kicks in it, it goes full force....

not quite sure how i feel about it... **/4

[SCHLiTZ]

better than a lot of other shit that came out this week... :shrug:

the BK & Paul Masterson - Mayhem in Miami single might have been good, but the second half of it totally wipes ass.

and then there is the return of the sesame street rave mix:

Much better! You can't go wrong with Satisfaction remakes :D

[sassypance]

I'll give it a ***/4

[SCHLiTZ]

yeah, 'cept its pretty damn slow.... and with that consistant fuzz groove throughout the entire 4 beat it may sound like poop sped up.

[sassypance]

i agree, i don't know how well it would go over if it was actually spun out.... try getting that to 145bpm's and have it not sound like shit... definitly agree with ya

[sassypance]

ok slackers come on now..... give me some new choons to listen to!!!

[Nquire]

ok slackers come on now..... give me some new choons to listen to!!!I would have alot, but i cant figure out how to copy and paste the location of the address for the REAL1 player. I could on my other computer, but not this one. I would have alot for you. There is always good music coming out. You just have to look hard! :flash:

The DJ Isaac A-side is very techy, slow stomper.
The B-side original works the vocal a little more and has a trancey feel to it.

[sassypance]

the a side i dug it.... i liked the deep hard bassline of it and yeah i liked the vocal too... if it was sped up quite a bit though it would be a good track to play out or put on a cd.... waaay too slow for my liking.

the b side had an interesting feel to it, it kicked in at about a B-, the a side was definitly the better track.

[Nquire]

you are very picky, but i guess thats ok. Just means you have good taste in music.

[sassypance]

picky is good, i'm just now picking up on that :wink:

I'll keep looking, but if anyone finds it put it on hmya, thanks.

[SCHLiTZ]

This is a sorta old record from back in summer/fall of '02.... but i stumbled back upon it while throwing on some tunes the other nite, and now it's stuck in my mind. b/c of this, it's my song/record of the day.

Artist: Jay B
A: Focus On The Beat (http://www.bangingtunes.com/mp3/bulletpltd11_A.mp3)
B: Flashback (http://www.bangingtunes.com/mp3/bulletpltd11_B.mp3)
Label: BULLETPROOF LIMITED
CAT: BULLETPLTD11
(Techy Hard House)

A-side: This is a great techy stomper, and the kind of track that you don't see being put out anymore. It's another record fitting my need for hard hitting beats and funky modulations. This one won't be forgotten again.

B-side: A little more mellow than the A, but still has some nice aspects. The grinding synths are wicked... and the track picks up a little more than the sample lets on after the l-e-n-g-t-h-y break. It's got some fuck to it too and could work well with a bunch of different sound styles.

http://www.bangingtunes.com/itemdetail_vinyl.asp?ItemID=STORMT22

finally got this track in the mail yesterday, and was delighted to find accapella samples for Pubic Traction (Satisfaction) on the A side along with the track.

[sassypance]

i think i commented on this before....

u can't go wrong with satisfaction remakes :D

[SCHLiTZ]

and it dosen't sound like crap sped up either... goes incredibly well with Rundell & Maddox - Rumpshaker. :thumbsup:

[sassypance]

NOICE!

[SCHLiTZ]

Familiar names on a new label... :raveon:

BK & Ed Real - BK EP 1
Riot Recordings
RIOT 001
A: Insane
B: A Little Love

check it: http://www.juno.co.uk/IP/IF150855-01.htm


The A-side is a dark techno-influenced track with the typical sound of BK. I like the fact that they don't overwork the grinding synth... nice and steady.
The B-side is a step closer to the hard trance side. Can't tell from the short sample, but there's probably a nice breakdown just after it cuts out.



oh, and if this track dies, I will NOT be saddened: http://217.158.65.110/MP3/SF154647-01-01-01.mp3

[SCHLiTZ]

can't go wrong with nukblue...

[sassypance]

eh tidy can kick nukleuz' ass any day though.... :D

[SCHLiTZ]

at sucking...

[DJ Osis]

Nukulez has more of a wide variety of musical influences.... like bk`s mayhem in miami.... is it hard trance, hard house, Techno, Tribal.... whos knows... and thats why they rock.... :raveon:


but one thing every UKHH DJ knows..... if your in trouble, throw on a Tidy Track.... they mix with everything....... and a lot sound alike :goawaymarcus:

[sassypance]

tidy is my all time favorite label, excuse me if i sound biased... now you know :D

b/c no matter what producers name may be on the label, more than likely it was engineered by the tidy boys....

[SCHLiTZ]

and i really shouldn't bash to hard on tidy... their old stuff may be teh cheez... but with the expansion of tidy white, two, etc... they are putting out some better variety and quality.

[sassypance]

don't make me cutchu schlitz! :gotme:

be nice to teh cheese.
