back to the future, old but fresh tunes

[uberclkgtr]

So I was digging through my old crates and discovered an old, forgotten gem from a few years back that still sounds fresh today. Have you guys found any records kicking around like this? Let's keep it to 2+ years old, and the more obscure the better. Please include a sample if possible.

I'll go first.

tarrantella - karma (way out west remix) [whoop!] feb 2002
http://www.planetxusa.com/pub/audio/djram/2002/101149.ram

This track has the best little guitar riff. Love it. Way Out West stuff has a tendency to stand the test of time IMHO.

So you been crate diggin lately?

Graffik - A Lesser Man? (Rip Records, Sept. 2002)

For some reason I never get tired of this track...

[uberclkgtr]

The Satoshi remix? That's a good one. :yes:

[uberclkgtr]

Oh and speaking of Satoshi, one of my all-time favorites:

pete moss feat terra deva - after 2 (satoshi tomiie remix) [definity] 5/2002
http://www.planetxusa.com/pub/audio/djram/2002/110327.ram (first sample)

Voice...sooooo.....sexy. Want to touch the heinie.

[Tails]

I think both mixes of A Lesser Man? are really good, though I tend to play the original more.

This is a good thread, James; I'll dig up s'more over the weekend. :thumbsup:

[intrancewetrust]

i love LOVE this track :lessthanthree:

[neuroticinsight]

hong kong trash- "up the river" (mcbuffalo mix) - glow
(the track after elements on digweeds sydney gu, disk 1)
:raveon:

[iminxtc]

i suggested that there should be an ol skool forum.(for days like this and other purposes) but shit. nobody really listens to me any way!

[Bemps]

I'm trying to track down a copy of weekend players - into the sun (riva remix) Spring 2002ish

[Hitoi]

Circulation - Turquoise (Weekend World rmx and original)

Will never get sick of this track. Ever.

[agentorange]

Maurice - Feline

best use of violin EVER :D

[neuroticinsight]

gus gus - "purple" original mix (just picked up gus gus vs. t world used for 5 bucks :))

[Tails]

Turquoise and Feline -- awesome. Love both of those tunes. :thumbsup:

Lexicon Avenue - From Dusk Till Dawn (Weekend World Rmx). Sick dark tribal monster.

[Echelon]

Every time I see the word Feline in conjunction with anything EDM that violin riff pops into my head automatic-like. You guys all mentioned great tracks, good to know there's other educated edm heads out there. I've been feeling some old Daft Punk lately if you wanna talk about old, how about "Around the World" I think it was released in 1996 and I'd say it's back in style like a 60's fashion 3 years ago. I love this track and just started canning it again, it has perfect energy and elements that blend nicely with a lot of today's productions. Look for it on my promo next month. :meditate:

Great tune!! Hong Kong Trash & Desert from the ol' GLOW label days...that label used to put out the most insane tracks!!

Let us not forget...

Way Out West - DOMINATION (Bonkers Mix)

Back in the melodic days....I don't think I ever saw bigger reactions than to:

Binary Finary (PVD & Matt Darey Mixes) - This tune would just simply blow up the dancefloor!!

I remember Tilt's remix of Robert Miles "Children" was a very, very large tune...

But my heart will always stay with:

Lost Tribe's "Gamemaster"...Matt Darey used to be the master...

Ahhh the trance days of pure innocense...so many more tunes I should go digging for...I could go & on...

:raveon:

[neuroticinsight]

lol such cheesy bliss suneel! hahaha. you don't happen to have a copy of that hong kong trash record you'd want to part with do you suneel? ;)

[suneel]

I do have a copy. But I still drop it on occassion when i'm lucky enough to get the opportunity to drop extended sets. Sorry my friend...

[Tails]

Ah, Suneel, all these trance tunes I still have a soft spot in my heart for... I didn't know you had it in you. :wink:

[rajdeep]

I can't figure out how I managed to miss this thread... :confused:

I actually have about 13 crates of progressive / trance / etc from 94 - 2002 that I need to filter through for Ebay sales and revisits to good moments of the past.

I'll make sure to post more quality old school tracks tonight or tomorrow.

Yeah man...I used to be a big softy back in the day...I remember visiting London for spring break one year & being inside Plastic Fantastic in Covent Garden every day I was in London (7 days) picking up new tunes. One day, a test pressing came in of Tilt's "Invisible" with new Hooj remixes (Red Jerry & Matt Darey) & they passed me one (the tune didn't see a release for like 4 months) & I literally jumped over the counter & hugged the dude for hooking me up...the melodic uplifters used to be my bread & butter... :delirious:

Nothing beats being in London, going to Heaven for Digweed's Bedrock night...this was the line up up for 5 pounds...

Danny Howells (opening set)
Nick Warren (middle set)
Salt Tank (Live PA)
John Digweed (closing set & also the first time I heard Desert's Voices on GLOW - absolutely amazing!!!)

And if that wasn't enough...Hyper & the Plump DJs were playing in the other room...

And this was a Thursday night...

I have that track and it's crazy good :thumbsup:
The other side has a breeder remix which is quite good as well.

[Echelon]

You guys are all over the old trance

I loved Digweed's Hong Kong album too, all the tracks on both CD 's are choice as choice can be.

PVD's "Travelling" has always been mad underated in trance and I'm just going to take this opportunity to give it the respect it deserves :respekt:

I remember you telling me at Disfunktion that you used to play prog yourself... the melodic uplifters are still my bread and butter, though! :D

What it must have been like to be over in London at that time... God, Invisible and Butterfly were when I started really paying attention to releases, and knew that I'd have to try DJing someday. Now I'm listening to Sacred Cycles and feeling nostalgic. :yourock:

[suneel]

Yo Tails...I know you live pretty close to me in Springfield...if you ever want to dig through my crates of melodic prog...let me know...I am slowly going to be Ebaying this stuff off...if you want first dibs at it...be my guest...I'm pretty sure you might freak out with what you could find down in my basement...I'm gonna being selling off pieces from $3-4 a piece...let me know if you're interested...any of you on this board really...

I love Madder Rose - Overflow

[uberclkgtr]

i thought i'd resurrect this thread.

i picked up the 12" for this one a couple weeks ago, out of nostalgia:

simon - free at last (futurshock remix) [positiva] sample (http://www.planetxusa.com/pub/audio/djram/2001/80805.ram)

i recall wigging out to this several times back in 2000 when scott henry would drop it, most noticeably at his set at odyssey@dc armory. love the speech, and prolly futureshock's best production ever. :raveon:

[Sunspot8785]

Good choon!
