The Lost Anthem

I heard Gingy, a 20-year from Toronto, on the always great, but constantly shut down(due to excessive hits) Chazology around a week ago and was blown away.

The first song I heard was my favorite...

Swagger

This sounds like one those songs that should become an instant anthem. I played it at Bridges, and people were feeling it. The other one is great too...

Rios For MVP

Plus a mashup Gingy just sent me...

Missy - Wooden Folks (Gingy Mashup)

Really great stuff... This is why I love the internet, because good music gets spread around quickly. Viva la blogs.

Frankie Knuckles Hot 97 --->1993

Godfather of House, Frankie Knuckles, on Hot 97 in New York, April 24, 1993.



The early 90s represented the sweet spot in house music for me... when it was on commercial radio stations in New York City and Chicago, on the weekends. These mixes are among my favorites.

WIND ME UP CHUCK

Chuck Brown (b. 1934) is an African-American jazz guitarist and singer who is affectionately called "The Godfather of Go-Go". Go-go is a subgenre of funk music developed in and around Washington, D.C. in the mid- and late 1970s. While its musical classification, influences, and origins are debated, Brown is regarded as the fundamental force behind the creation of go-go music.

This is the song that started Go-Go Music. Bustin' Loose.

The Talking Head

There is no one on earth I respect more than David Byrne.

80s Rescue - Robert Tepper - No Easy Way Out

Modeselektor

MODESELEKTOR IS HARD...


Modeselektor - Kill Bill Vol.4(zshare)

BASS HEAVY

I like bass heavy electronic dancehall riddims... there needs to be more of this.
Stereotyp is one of the best.

Stefan Moerth, better known to the music world as Stereotyp, is a hardcore producer. An average Stereotyp production is mind-blowing to say the least, and any DJ that had a chance to test his work in a club environment will testify to this fact. Every Stereotyp beat is bass heavy, 5th Element type futuristic, and sonically altered. And this goes for all genres Moerth retouches and updates, be it Dancehall, Hip Hop or Soul - and he done touched them all.

Stereotyp Live Featuring MC Coppa Mix

80s Rescue - Martha and the Muffins

Martha and the Muffins were a Canadian new wave synth pop band in the 1970s and 1980s. Although they only had one major international hit single under that name.

ACID HOUSE



Acid house is an electronic music-oriented subgenre of house music, which emphasizes a repetitive, hypnotic and trance-like style, with samples or spoken lines rather than sung lyrics. Acid house's characteristic electronic "squelch" sounds were developed by mid-1980s DJs who were experimenting with the Roland TB-303 electronic synthesizer-sequencer. Acid House spread to the United Kingdom where it was played by DJs in the early rave scene. By the late 1980s, copycat tracks and Acid House remixes brought the style into the mainstream, where it influenced other pop and dance styles.

UK acid house and rave fans use the the yellow smiley face symbol as the emblem of the music and scene, a "vapid, anonymous smile" which portrayed the "simplest and gentlest of the Eighties’ youth manifestations" that was non-aggressive, "except in terms of decibels" at the high-volume DJ parties [1] Some acid house fans used a smiley face with a blood streak on it, which Watchmen comics creator Alan Moore asserts was based on Dave Gibbons' artwork for the series.[2]

Acid house soon began influencing UK pop music, emerging in a somewhat sanitized form in songs like Bananarama's "Tripping on Your Love" (1991) and Samantha Fox's "Love House" (1989). As well, acid house influences appearing as remixes of pop songs on 12" singles by mainstream acts and in the hit song "Theme from S'Express" by electronic band S'Express in 1988.

In the late 1980s and early 1990s, news media and tabloids devoted an increasing amount of coverage to the hedonistic acid house/rave scene, focusing on its association with psychedelic drugs and club drugs. The sensationalistic nature coverage may have contributed to the banning of acid house, during its heyday, from radio, television, and retail outlets in the United Kingdom.

Here's a mix of old and new acid house.

8-Bit Jackpot!

8 Bit Peoples has a ton of free 8 Bit records for download, for free, under the Creative Commons Agreement... which basically means free, I guess... I guess you have to pay them if you want to use it in a commercial or something.

For those of you who don't know, 8-bit can refer to a style of electronic music inspired by the sound of old computer consoles from the 8 bit era of video games. This music will often reflect sounds from technology that is seen as primitive or "outdated" such as the Game Boy and home made synthesisers.

Four randomly picked tunes to get you started...

Psilodump - Mutiny Of The Robots

Gordon Strombola - Turbo Samba

NEUE DEUTSCHE WELLE

Neue Deutsche Welle (New German Wave, often abbreviated NDW) was a genre of German music originally derived from punk rock and New Wave music in 1976. The term "Neue Deutsche Welle" was first coined by journalist Alfred Hilsberg, whose article about the movement titled "Neue Deutsche Welle - Aus grauer Städte Mauern" (New German Wave - From walls of gray cities) was published in the magazine Sounds in 1979.

The history of the Neue Deutsche Welle consists of two major parts. From its beginnings to 1981, the Neue Deutsche Welle was mostly an underground movement with roots in British punk and New Wave music; it quickly developed into an original and distinct style, influenced in no small part by the different sound and rhythm of the German language which many of the bands had adapted from early on.

The main centers of the NDW movement during these years were Berlin, Düsseldorf, Hamburg, Hannover and Hagen as well as, to a lesser extent, the Frankfurt Rhein-Main Region, Limburg an der Lahn and Vienna (Austria).

From about 1980 on, the music industry began noticing the Neue Deutsche Welle; however, due to the idiosyncratic nature of the music, the focus shifted to creating new bands more compatible with the mainstream, rather than promoting existing bands. Many one-hit wonders and short-lived bands appeared and were forgotten again in rapid succession, and the overly broad application of the "NDW" label to these bands as well as to almost any German musicians not using English lyrics, even if their music was apparently not influenced at all by the 'original' NDW (including pure Rock bands like BAP or even Udo Lindenberg) quickly led to the decay of the entire genre when many of the original musicians turned their backs in frustration.







THIS IS THE BIG ONE RIGHT HERE.... FRED VOM JUPITER...

CHAMKILA... THE PUNJABI TUPAC

Amar Singh Chamkila (Date of Birth: July 21, 1961) (Place of Birth: Dugri village, Punjab, India (Date of Death: March 8, 1988) (Place of_Death: Mesumpur village, Punjab, India

Amar Singh Chamkila (Punjabi: ਅਮਰ ਸਿੰਘ ਚਮਕੀਲਾ) (July 21, 1961 – March 8, 1988) was a high-profile Punjabi singer, songwriter, and musician. He is widely touted the most influential icon in the history of Punjabi music. This is an amazing feat as he sang for less than a decade. His partner in music and life was Amarjot.

Chamkila wrote his own lyrics, the majority of which were boyish, suggestive and titillating, and yet fluent, commentaries on extra-marital affairs, alcohol and drugs. The couple’s appeal grew not only in the Punjab, but they quickly raced to international stardom among Punjabis abroad. By the early 1980s, Chamkila and Amarjot had recorded hugely successful LPs on the HMV label and they toured Canada, USA, Dubai and Bahrain. They were also commonly booked for wedding parties, charging a reported Rs. 4000 per performance, an unprecedented amount for the time.

Having arrived to perform in Mesumpur, Punjab, both Chamkila and Amarjot were gunned down as they exited their vehicle on March 8, 1988 at approx. 2 o'clock. A gang of motorcyclists fired several rounds fatally wounding the couple and other members of the entourage.

No arrests were ever made with connection to the shooting and the case was never solved. The reason for the murder is the subject of speculation and is shrouded in mystery.

Greatest Cheese In The World

...80s Latin Freestyle.



FREESTYLE

Freestyle or Latin Freestyle, also called Latin Hip Hop in its early years, is a form of electronic music that is heavily influenced by Latin American culture. Performers such as Safire, Lisa Lisa and Cult Jam, TKA, George Lamond, and Expose are notable performers of this genre. Freestyle originated in New York in the early 80's. It continues to be produced today and enjoys some degree of popularity, especially in urban Latino and Italian American communities. Another popular modern dance music genre, Florida breaks, evolved from this sound.

The music first developed primarily in New York City and Miami in the mid-1980s. It eventually spread to many other cities with Hispanic populations. Initially, it was a fusion of the vocal styles found in 1970s disco music with the syncopated, synthetic instrumentation of 1980s electro, as favored by fans of breakdancing. It was also influenced by sampling, as found in hip hop music. In the 1990s, the electro and hip hop influences were supplanted by house music.
