When a lot of people hear about 'rave' they automatically associate it with hard synthesizer beats, trashy clothes and people being way too spaced out on drugs and other stuff. Well, some aspects of this might have always been present but others doesn’t stick to the origin of the genre. And if you are not The post NBHAP Guestmix #19 - Young Galaxy appeared first on Nothing But Hope And Passion - NBHAP - Music Magazine & more .
We premiere a new track from UK-based Stubborn Heart.
Today, 808 State and Empirion. And it's all about the samples. At #06, 808 State. I thought about 1010 (for its discotasticness) and Plan 9 (for the guitar) but had to stick with their 1991 classic In Yer Face . This was techno, 808s and breakbeats for the charts, getting to #09 in the UK in 1991. The intro has a sample of what sounds like Alistair Cooke from one of his Letters from America . But I've never been able to find the episode from which it was taken, although I have found a few people who've had the [...]
"Everybody still yearns for the old bands." That was the message emanating from the Happy Mondays' longstanding vocalist Rowetta Satchell when we recently convened with the expressive Mancunian and now deeper within December, her belief couldn't be more explicitly vindicated. Shaun Ryder, Bez et al. have the north of the capital covered, whilst Liam Howlett & co. button down the hatches and take the south by storm, Brixton caught up in a hefty whir of trance-scented ex post facto revelry. Tonight is neither today, nor yesterday, nor even yesteryear but a violent throwback to a decade long [...]
Der 80s-Style hat unverkennbar sein Comeback auf den Straßen Berlins und was damals gut war, ist es heute immer noch! Genauso verhält es sich mit dem Acid House Sound der Underground-Clubs aus Chicago und Detroit, der mit seinem pumpenden Four-to-the-floor Beat bis hinüber nach Europa geschwappt ist, wo die Manchester Jungs von 808 State diesen Rhythmus und Klangspielerein aufgefangen haben. Was 1988 mit dem Manchester Rave Dreiergespann und Roland TR-808 Drummachines begann, endete bald für A Guy Called Gerald in einer Solokarriere mit wegweisenden Tracks wie " Voodoo Ray " und immer mehr zunehmenden Drum'n'Bass-Einflüssen. Seinen [...]
Hey remember when a religious zealot tried to win the presidency but forgot that people who weren’t white/rich/straight/assholes voted? Let’s never speak of his name again. Instead let’s dance to silly remixes. Tori Amos God (The Thinking Mix 2) God (Acapella Vocal and Rain Mix) God (The Rainforest Resort Mix) God (The CJ Bolland Mix) Talula (BT’s Synethasia Mix) Now that the election is over, I can get back to obsessing [...]

From The Kites Of San Quentin has hit us below the belt tremendously and whacked us around the head with this super-marvellous expression of muggy electronica - and splendid sways of late 60’s-esque mist & early 70’s type rustic incorporating superb downtempo techniques . Made from a template of soothing gusts and pleasurable winds, Manchester’s (UK) From The Kites Of San Quentin is more of the IT Factor than TNA Wrestler Bobby Roode. 808 STATE - In Yer Face (From The Kites Of San Quentin Reworking) [...]
Last month Boysnoize Records sister label BNR Trax put out a release by a name often seen on concert bills but relatively fresh on the digital shelves. That name would be Destructo and his EP, the fruits of his latest work in the studio, is bent on consistency with three originals certain to shine in settings of their own right. The title track, a distorted hybrid of electro house and techno, was quickly adopted by the likes of Boys Noize and added a brick to the peak of his set. Not a surprise considering its daunting choir in [...]

Måske har du allerede bemærket det, men 90erne sprudler frem i ny elektronisk musik. Over det seneste år er forsøget på at kombinere nye ideer med 90ernes oprindelige indsigter fra dance, rave, UK garage blevet en populær indgang til ny lyd. Et splinternyt og interessant eksempel er Dream Continuum s ep Reworkz , der udkom i slutningen af sidste måned. Dream Continuum er et samarbejde mellem Machinedrum og Om Unit og deres eksperiment går ud på at bruge 90er-indsigterne i en footwork-kontekst. Dream Continuum – Giv A Lil Luv [...]
Shiiiiiit, can't believe this hasn't made it into the FMB archives yet, being such a huge classic it was clearly to obvious a choice and slipped past our ridiculously tight grasp. Anyhow here it is, a proper slice of acid house from '88, produced by legend Gerald Simpson, responsible for the likes of 808 State. Can't believe this actually made the charts back then (Nr 12!!), kust highlights how many fuckin' idiots are running about these days!! A GUY CALLED [...]
![THE WHIP – Blackout (Graham Massey Remix) [Southern Fried]](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/4090970_lg.jpg)
As part of the legendary stable known as 808 State , Graham Massey created more euphoric pleasure on stage than the former sex shows did at Manumission, Privilege (Ibiza) back in the Noughties. Harnessing a terrifying and exhilarating harmony that can be suited on many enjoyable dance floors, this Underworld-esque melody fires out more punch to what Brock Lesnar would do on the Legend setting of WWE ’12. A perfect remix for a faultless electronic group. THE WHIP - Blackout (Graham Massey Remix)

Seminal house classic given a really nice and subtle remix from one of NYC's finest Justin Strauss back in 1990. Sounding fresher than it did 20 years ago I still can't get enough of those pads, I think 808 state single handed-ly inspired a new generation of emotive house producers... From the notes "Pacific 0101, 212, and 516 are Justin Strauss remixes which all use the clarinet and loon samples from 202, but restore and more prominently feature the original bassline, and use percussion more akin to [...]
To the loyal Versions readers who have noticed the large swaths of time in between posts these days (as well as many unfortunately unanswered emails) I've been hard at work on a big side project the last 4 months. But the absentee landlord does have a (very long-winded) explanation. Despite being immersed in west coast culture all my life, sadly I can't skate, I can barely surf and I don't cycle (motor, fixie or otherwise). This was thanks in no large part to an overprotective mother, who wouldn't let me near a butter knife until I was [...]
A new series for the next couple of weeks and some rare tracks from 73s. Jockey Slut was an excellent Manchester-based dance magaine who decided in 1998 that it would be a good idea to release a series of 73 singles from different acts at the rate of one a month during 1999. They offered readers the chance to get a discount if they paid upfront for all 12 singles. Being the trainspotter that I am, I jumped at the chance. For the first couple of months it went well. Then it became more erratic and in the end [...]
This time its the artist themselves remixing the classic. 808 State have released Blueprint , a compilation of their best stuff. And as part of that they've remixed some of their classics. Here's a remix of Cubik for you to download. I had already heard the new remix of In Yer Face and that was pretty disappointing, since it lost some of the aggression that made the track. So, how about what they've done to Cubik ? This is a lot more bleepy than I remember and even a bit chip. Thankfully, it [...]
