S'Express : Theme From S'Express [ purchase Bomb the Bass : Don't Make Me Wait [ purchase It's funny the tricks we allow our memories to play on us. All grown up, here on the wrong side of forty, it's so easy to look back on the music of my childhood and teenage years with a nostalgia that goes beyond being false and strays into the realms of the ludicrously wrong. I remember [...]

Tweet When I was but a wee lad, one could always find me laying on my bed with the radio blaring. In the days when top 40 radio actually played dance music, more specifically Euro-dance, it was always a treat to hear Your Loving Arms by Billie Ray Martin come on. My ears immediately perked up and off the bed I went. The destination was the mirror where I would pick up a hair brush and valiantly attempt to belt out BURNING INSIDE, YEAH. BURNING [...]

At any given moment, countless people are listening to electronic music, much of it directly influenced by a sound coming from the Motor City, the former home of Motown and the birthplace of a genre known to the world as Detroit Techno. The year 2010 is an exciting time for the Detroit electronic music community as it marks the 25th anniversary of the birth of Techno in the city. To celebrate, a collective of artists from Detroit past and present will be coming together to perform under the banner D25: Detroit Twenty Five. Included in this collective will [...]
It's July, it's very hot, sticky, sweaty and I am dieing of a cold; something not helped by the excessive humidity in this bloody city.

Oh hai guys. I'm Wulf. I apologize for not posting in like three weeks, I've been absolutely inundated by schoolwork/life/laziness. Luckily in my three week respite, I've managed to pick up both my SAT scores (2160, bitch!) and a few CDs and vinyl (vinyl!) from a few flea markets here and there. I'll post content from each of them in the forthcoming weeks. First up on the agenda, this lovely compilation: which features some marvelous tracks from the earlier days of house, when Music Sounds Better With You [...]
Emerging from the British dance scene from the late 1980's, DJ and producer Mark Moore created the acid-house project S'Express, which also featured fellow engineer Pascal Gabriel (see also Soft Cell, Erasure and New Order) and DJ/vocalist Sonique. Throwing himself in the burgeoning sampling culture, the group's most famous song, "Overture/Theme from S'Express", utilised over a dozen sample cuts,

Two today. S'Express and Quadrophonia; with remixes by Baby Ford and Speedy J. S'Express we've had before . But not Quadrophonia (Lucien Foort & Olivier Abbeloos). All a bit euro dance pop from 1990. But it does have an early Jochem Paap production - who we know better as Speedy J . Quadrophonia's Myspace site says: Olivier Abbeloos/Lucien Foort Olivier. Abbeloos Always interested in music and started to learn how to DJ at age of 13 when he got a DJ setup from his parents. He thinks he started producing at [...]

S'Express was Mark Moore. They were one of the earliest UK house acts to have big hits in the pop chart. And there's a Weatherall remix to be going along with. Performing under the name S'Express, young British DJ Mark Moore scored a number one hit in his homeland in 1988 with "Theme From S'Express," a record that helped pave the way for the subsequent hegemony of the sampladelic acid house sound on the pop charts. Moore released an album, Original Soundtrack, in 1989, strongly influenced by [...]

Electrifying track by Rose Royce which ultimately became 'Theme From S'Express'. Rose Royce - Is It Love You're After?

A mixed bag today but all House, all from 1988, courtesy of Rap Trax. Yesterday's charity shop rummage disgorged the Rap Trax CD (rubbish name then, rubbish name now). Has a mixture of Rap and House tracks, which reminded me that this isn't as odd as it sounded subsequently. House hasn't always been as white as it is today. The sleeve notes say: "Although in their purest forms rap and house remain segregated - this homegrown approach has distorted the distinction [...]

Another charity Shop classics post! I'm spoiling you. Today House hits from 1988 - according to K-Tel that is. A lunchtime rummage at Oxfam threw up "The Hits of House" album from 1988. A fairly poppy selection but still full of blasts from the past. The sleeve says "House music is the most powerful dance trend since the disco era of the late 70's. Two years ago a house was something you lived in, but down in the sweaty dives of [...]

Last post in celebration of Andy Weatherall's birthday, with two more mixes from 1991 - S'Express and Airstream. Airstream were Jonathan Male, Cymon Eckel, Mike Bund, Richard Van Spall, Robert Wells & Jeff Duff. They tried, not terribly successfully, to do the indie dance thing. I had often wondered why Weatherall would bother remixing them. But I now assume it was a favour to Cymon Eckel, an original member of the Boys Own crew. S'Express were Mark Moore, Chilo Harlo, Michellé, Linda [...]

ANDREW WEATHERALL DELIVERS 2 EXCLUSIVE DJ MIXES Andrew Weatherall gave us these two exclusive DJ mixes as a gift, k? There are for you only! We will throw the most insane party on February 12th in Berlin at Tresor Club - where it ALL started! to me this is important as Andrew's mix of guitar music and beats back then in the early 90ties created RAVE in Manchester. Who knows where we all would have been without his mixes for Primal Scream, Happy Mondays, That Petrol Emotion, Jah Wobble, James, The Grid, New [...]

Rex the Dog on the road Musical Mood: Find your dancing shoes Rough Genre: Electro I posted about Rex the Dog quite recently , but since then I've turned up some more really good stuff so thought I'd pop up a bit more Rex for you. Rex is certainly a talented remixer and I've got a couple of great examples. First up, The Knife - Heartbeats is re-worked with Rex's classic 80s electro feel. Second, Rex remixes Mylo v Miami [...]

Back in August I was sent the first Blah Blah Blah mix : a gleefully cheesy, and upbeat compilation of electro-pop from Canadian DJ and producer Sta . Now we have the next ace addition in the series, mixed by Jerry Bouthier - one half of JBAG . Here's an intro from the Blah Blah Blah crew: " Jerry Bouthier is a Paris-born but London-based DJ and producer. He's resident DJ for [...]

Un maxi est sorti ces derniers jours sur le label berlinois !K7 dont le nom interpellera les plus anciens : So Special par Bomb the Bass . Oui, tu as bien lu, le mythique groupe de Tim Simenon remet ça ! Bomb the Bass c'est ce groupe qui avec S'Express, Coldcut, 808 State ou encore Adamski, tenait le haut du panier de la club culture anglaise il ya déjà 20 ans de cela... A l'époque le titre Beat dis avait permis au groupe de sortir [...]
