Private Party

BIG UP NORTH

Kid 'N Play "2 Hype (Original 12" House Instrumental)" On vinyl this was something of a rave holy grail back the day. Recently it was included on the fantastic Hacienda compilation CD released in 2006. Remixed by Dancin' Danny D, someone perhaps best remembered as the chap behind "We Call It Acieeed" by D. Mob, this is a very eccentric house cut with a magical energy that's very much all of it's own. Quite singular as Sherlock Holmes may well have said. I look forward to playing this over the bank holiday weekend.

CLASSIC REWORK

Robert Hood "Minus (Combo Re-edit)" A classic track from Hood's 1994 "Internal Empire" long player is slowed right down and transformed into an entirely different entity that brings to mind Manuel Göttsching / Ash Ra.

SLEAZE, POISE & RESTRAINT

Elbee Bad "Just Don't Stop The Dance" One of the true heroes of US house music gives us a master-class in sleaze, poise and restraint. It's so stripped down it almost isn't there. Genius.

MYSTERY TRACK

Unknown Artist "Unknown" Answers on a postcard please.

PRIVATE PARTY THIS SATURDAY / 29TH AUGUST

PERVERT MEDICAL PRACTITIONER

5000 Volts "Dr. Kiss Kiss" Luxurious and ever so slightly camp down tempo disco number about a Doctor that should quite clearly be struck from one register and added to another.

A HEALTHY AND DELICIOUS START TO THE DAY

Grapefruit "Sha-Sha" Obvious exponents of healthy living, late 60's / early 70's rockers Grapefruit lay down a joyous danceable rock number that could well be considered Balearic if you were that way inclined.

STOP PRESS: DISCO IS BACK (AGAIN)

Nightlife Unlimited "Peaches And Prunes (Automan Edit)" From the second Automan release way back in 2002. Was it really that long ago? They say disco is back again... but it never actually went away?!!!

Buy it!

Digidesign - Joker

Cicciolina "Pane Marmellata E Me" Jeff Koons ex squeeze, the wonderfully naughty Cicciolina, covers "Uptown Top Ranking". Whatever next?

28/01/2009

Massive Sounds "The Future" Classic after-hours NYC house from Bobby Konders. I hadn't listened to this for a very long time but was reminded of it whilst listening to the amazing forthcoming House Of House record on Whatever We Want.
