I know we had a Rockers Hi-Fi tune yesterday . But I thought that after the dnb remix of Push Push you might like something more dubful. And a tune entitled Hash Recall is hardly likely to be anything else. Lovely mellow track for late night contemplation. Rockers Hi-Fi - Hash Recall Buy
Rockers Hi-Fi and their Push Push track but in it's remix form. Rockers Hi-Fi were initially called Original Rockers and their best known track was 1991 release " Push Push ". Original Rockers were Glyn Bush and Richard Whittingham. They were named in tribute to early dub hero Augustus Pablo but eventually had to change their name to Rockers Hi-Fi. This version of Push Push is by New Blood from a 1995 re-release. New Blood were a little-known outfit with few releases and comprised A. Carrington, David Andrew Quamina & Nathan Pike. Their version takes the dubby [...]

It was far too long ago that we published our last Ripples Around the World Column, a celebration of the diverse and dynamic world music that comes through the Ripple doors, so let's rectify that right now. We have two delicious slices of world music licorice pizza to share with you, so let's get right to it. Lion Head Compilation Vol 1 Now, we've already raved about the mad dub world of the master, Glyn "Bigga" Bush, and his ongoing new [...]
Groove Corporation make soulful house. Formed from the ashes of Electribe 101, they are still going today. From their bio: The Groove Corporation first appeared in the public eye as Electribe 101. Hailed by the N.M.E. as the forefront of the British house movement, at a time when house was experimental and only heard on pirate radio or in underground, mainly illegal clubs. They managed to achieve 3 top 40 singles and a top 20 album, but soon became disillusioned with the [...]
This ocean, humiliating in its disguises Tougher than anything. No one listens to poetry. The ocean Does not mean to be listened. A drop Or crash of water. Its mean Nothing. It Is bread and butter Pepper and salt. The death That young men hope for. Aimlessly It pounds the shore. White and aimless signals. No One listens to poetry. "Thing Language" - Jack Spicer Carly Simon - Why Why Single (Mirage [...]
A whole mess of different worlds collide on May 21st when Speaking in Code stars the Wighnomy Brothers make their US debut at Make It New . For years, the Wighnomy Brothers (aka Robag Whrume and Monkey Maffia) have released excellent, funky, minimal grooves from their home base in Jena, Germany, but an appearance on the North America continent was always rare indeed. So the Wighnomy Bros. have never played the US. They have played Montreal (as seen in the film) and they have come close to playing the [...]
ONE OF MY FAVORITE DUBBY DOWNTEMPO ELECTRONIC GROUP THAT WERE VERY CONSISTENT IN THE MID 90'S. I REALLY LOVE THE OLD SCHOOL TECHNO SYNTHS MIXED WITH THE DUBBY VOCALS AND VINTAGE HOUSE DRUMS. STRAIGHT CLASSIC. IF YOU EVER SEE ANY OF THERE VINYL SNAG IT UP. THIS IS TIMELESS MUSIC. I STILL LOVING PLAYING THESES RECORDS. 1995
Your choice was early ravers The Scientist and dubbers Original Rockers. The Scientist track requested was their huge early 1990 rave hit The Bee. The Scientist was Phivos (Phil) Sebastiane. Phivos first heard Chicago sound at school, and got into the futuristic sound of Detroit some time later at the end of the 80's. He got involved in Alternative Radio Station Phaze One. They used to call Phil 'Q' a while before because of his intellectual skills. Then for a party at the Fridge in Brixton, they decided to write The Scientist on the flyers, an artistic name [...]
Wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo ooooooooooooooooooooo ! It's finally fucking over!!!! I'm free! As you've read (if you read these at all) I've been battling a pernicious little kidney stone issue, hence the drifting in and out of this blog as of late. Pleased to announce they pulled (surgically-speaking) not one stone but FIVE of those pointy little bastards (the sum total). Celebration is in order and what better way than with a favorite celebration tune Don't Stop The Music by Yarbrough & Peoples . Here's four covers, not a mediocre one in [...]
Posted in November last year this track is a grand example of what a remix can do. Glad to see other people liked it too. This track still sounds fresh even with 12 years on the clock... Number 18...
I took this from a 123 promo that I have of the single, but it found its real home on the K&D Sessions mixtape. Worth its weight in gold, if you haven't got a copy of the K&D Sessions on CD, Vinyl or mp3 you better ask somebody. (I wanted to say that in 'American' but it would read 'you better axe somebody' which is not really the same sentiment...) Not trip hop, and not just chillout. The mid-90s reworks and remixes of Kruder and Dorfmeister, Austria's biggest musical exports since W. [...]
I remember the first time I heard of Rockers Hi-Fi was when !K7 released their Rocker's Hi-Fi DJ Kicks which is my mind is the best in the series along with that of Kruder & Dorfmeister. I had the pleasure of seeing them play live in Dublin about 6-7 years ago and it was a top show. unfortunately they didn't play 'Transmission Central' (see below) despite my heckling! ;-) After moving to the States I then came across the ' Lightning Head' album, Studio Don by Bigga [...]
