Boogie -> proto-House

Vach - in response to that Electric Mind track (killer):



i love this shit. claudio simonetti was a member of Goblin, the Italo prog rock band famously sampled by Justice a few years back.


This second track below I got into through the first Horse Meat Disco compilation on strut. Really great bridge from disco into house music. Perfectly produced, it just builds so damn well. This track was made with the dancefloor and the DJ in mind. Perfect for a loooooong mix.




As it turns out, I just found a mini promo mix for the third compilation for HMD. Check it:

Horse Meat Disco III Mini-Mix by Strut

Classic

This song is amazing. Recognise.

THE SECRET MUSEUM OF MANKIND

The Secret Museum of Mankind
This was a book released in the 50's (?) and was sold in the back of comic books (think x-ray specs etc.) as "female beauty around the world". See also: "Weirdest people on earth", "the strangest customs", "magic and mystery in queer lands where the foot of white man has rarely tread".

Racism aside, this is an amazing collection of ethnic/world/tribal/indigenous photography which covers America, Africa, Asia, Europe and Oceania. Some of the buildings, technology, costumes and instruments are just wild. I got a copy in the mail the other day, if anyone's interested, they're grippable on ebay for around $15.

Keeping in the theme, this is an incredible ethnic/world/traditional/field music mix.
Done by Rob Sevier from the Numero Group. Some heavy titles in there. It would be good for the next Deep Massage Therapy. He's got another mix on that Bird & Whale site, probably not as good, but does include the deep Bahrain Pearl Divers record (which is in the mail).

I've got a few other ethnic/field/traditional albums if anyone wants me to put them up.

Dancing Without Girls

DJ Harvey 6 hour set tonight (5am-11am) at Panorama Bar. It's Mardi Gras equivalent this weekend. Very appropriate night to dance without girls. Oh yeah a Steffi's playing a 5 hour set before him. so deep.

DJ Harvey Essential Mix

Also, 3rd track on mix is a little slice of gold from the P.A.M Pizza and Mezze mix we all love so much. Gotsta keep diggin'...

Miami

Joel Ford of Tigercity and Daniel Lopatin of Oneohtrix Point Never team up,

If you hadn't heard their stuff under the name Games this would make little sense,

Showing a complete commitment to 1980's synth pop, to the point of recording this album at the studio of Jan Hammer (what a name!), who composed the Miami Vice theme.
