retrospect - mixed by drox (MP3)

Not too long ago I was considering selling my beloved TR808. A relic from the 80’s that just keeps on doing its thing. It has such a distinct sound and I guess a few genres of music would not have happened without it. I can safely assume that everyone has heard the sound at least once. It has been mentioned in many songs (but possibly not as much as the mpc and sp1200). I’ve been thinking about doing a retrospective for a while. So the next few episodes will be loosely based around this theme. Feel free to suggest tracks that you think should be included or even come up with your own mix. Not specifically playing one style I will be including a bit of Miami bass, Techno bass, 80’s Electro, booty bass / ghetto tech, Detroit, along with some other random stuff….actually fuck it…you get the picture… just lots of dope records! Especially a couple of my favourites electro. Such a misused term can cause confusion. Some people use the term to refer to all electronic music or to the new “electro house” or “new rave”. No we aren’t referring to that definition of electro. I’m talking about performers in the 80’s that rapped about space and mars over a fast jerky futuristic beat and some of the music that followed that was directly influenced by that period. Some of it cheezy, some dark and speculative all fun! So if your into the new “electro” take a little time to soak in something different. Suffice to say the trusty drum machine is still in the family. playlist 1 january febuary march - Nite blues steel band 2 problems (instrumental) - As one 3 nothing time - Susumu yokota 4 decades of silicon?? - Urban tribe - mowax 5 Stop the Mechanism - John Tejada - Daydreams in Cold Weather 6 Enrico - Isolée - Wearemonster 7 electro boogie - Mfenducci - mediocre solo efforts 8 Japanese Elecktronics - Elecktroids - Elektroworld 9 Supersonic - JJ FAD 10 Siberian Nights (ultimix) - Egyptian Lover (f.Electric Kingdom) 11 123456 bass - Beat dominator 12 Twilight 22- Electric Kingdom 13 Thrown Down - Scratch-D (Dynamix II) feat. Brazen 14 Cigarette Lighter - Japanese Telecom 15 Lookout Weekend - Debbie Deb 16 My Beats - Jimmy Edgar 17 Clear (Ultimix) - Cybotron 18 I need a freak - Egyption Lover 19 Wireframe images - Arpanet 20 Dick By The Pound - DJ Assault 21Booty Bar Anthem - Disco D & DJ profit 22 I need another drink - Disco D 23 I need to freak - Aux 88 24 Mirage - Perception 25 Dry input - Perspects 26 Whip it - Devo 27 All stood still - Ultravox

Bridge & Causeway: Among Friends (The Goodbye Miami Party): Part 1 (MP3)

A massive, raw, live set from this past summer, too tasty not to belatedly toss up here. Recorded from my (Dylan Garret's) going away party in Miami, the night before moving to NYC. Some of Miami's finest crate-diggers swing through, throwing down classic funk, R&B, old soul, new soul, disco, old-school and independent hip-hop, a bit of house, downtempo, and everything else we had floating around the milk-crates (including live MC performances in Part 4) -- DJs New Sheriff, Mr. Brown, Lumin, Kems, Sire, Le Spam, & Dylan Garret, w/ Rita J, Super Toy, & Max Decibels providing live MC talent on the mic. Over 6 hours of beats, divided into 5 parts, to keep things manageable (and CD-burnable). Hope you dig. More info at www.bridgeandcauseway.net, assuming this doesn't kill our server!
