Shout outs to peeps who showed for last weekend - sorry for the lack of jams as of late.

Never Underestimate

Chic Power + Duran Power = Power Station.

Falco - Der Komissar (The Commissioner) (1981) (buy)



Falco - Auf Der Flucht (On The Run) (1981) (buy)

Single that reached #1 in Austria, France, Germany, Italy, Japan and Spain. The guy had perfect pitch and when he turned 4 his parents gave him a baby grand piano. Whatever, the track didn't crack the top 50 in the U.S. until it was covered by British band After The Fire, but check it - sort of has that boogity vibe goin.

Ruby Blued

Moloko - The Flipside (Herbert's Surround Sound Mix) (buy)

Richard Valentine - Come Back Lover (Club Version 1988) (1988) (buy)



Richard Valentine - Come Back Lover (Apache Beats) (1988) (buy)

Dug the drums in the first track so upping the rhythms untouched. If you hurry you can get this very record for a mere 14 cents.

Cold Busted

Oran "Juice" Jones - The Rain (Long Version) (1986) (buy)

Proto hip hopera vibes all over this one. If the audio doesn't convince you, the video should. If that doesn't do it, check what these guys did with it.

In Heat

Love Unlimited - Move Me No Mountain (1974) (buy)

Got this new 8-track player so I'm trying to start ripping stuff from that. Check the warbles.

Can't stop won't stop.

X Factor

Brand X - Wal To Wal (1979) (buy)

Phil Collins + Roland drum machine = camels.

Metro Area

SPK - Metropolis (1984) (buy)

Liking this track a lot, but it's harder to hear the lead pipe on scrap metal and live fires with all of the studio polish.

Saw Wave

The Turtles - Buzzsaw (1969) (buy)

B side banger from The Turtles. These guys bit it, you should too.

RE: Late Breakin

R.J.'s Latest Arrival - (Aerobic Dancin) Keep Dancin (1982) (buy)



R.J.'s Latest Arrival - (Aerobic Dancin) Keep Dancin (Instrumental) (1982) (buy)

Decline continues - first up of this was sans bass due to alternate ripping utensil.

Do it in a strange place, even in outerspace. One of these guys did it in Detroit and formed Slum Village's label.

Klique and Klaque

Klique - Inside Me (1983) (buy)

I'd feel shown up if I were the guy in the back too.

RE: Nitebeats

Oscar G - Movin On Up (1993) (buy)



Oscar G - Space Age (1993) (buy)

Botched the earlier post of this - the second playback was a duplicate of the first. Oops.

Side B of Oscar G's 1993 effort Grooves Of My Crib Part 2. First track has this psuedo Flatbeat thing going on, second one has everything you need and nothing you don't. Apparently the original Oscar the Grouch was orange, not green. Who knew?

Toot Uncommons

Ray Manzarek - Golden Scarab (1974) (buy)

What if Steve Martin had stepped in for Damo Suzuki on a track or two?

Walking With Steel

This was my intro - R.I.P.

Anonymous

???? - B3 (????)



???? - A2 (????)

Lots gone on since the last post. For instance, found this record in my apartment with no writing on it and a bunch of vaguely familiar tracks (anybody?). Breaks galore on the second one.

Haute Performance

High Performance - Do You Really Wanna Party? (808 Bonus Beats) (1989) (buy)

Golden Throat

Roger Troutman feat. Shirley Murdock - Chocolate City (1995) (buy)

Was about to toss the soundtrack to A Thin Line Between Love & Hate when I found this Roger Troutman number sitting at the start of disc 2. As Damon G. Riddick put it - R.I.P.

Dad Haus

Group 87 - The Death of Captian Nemo (1993) (buy)



Group 87 - Pleasure In Progress (1993) (buy)

Slept on this rip of 1993's A Career In Dada Processing for way too long. The title track popped up on Robotsinheat a while back, and these tracks together go a long way to predicting entire modern subgenre phyla.
