COMPILATIONS WITH juan aktins
House Classics ‘87-’89
Thursday, August 13th, 2009Acid House ‘88-’92
Saturday, June 27th, 2009never leave the house to play a late night set without some raw and direct chicago house classics in your box. i recommend djhistory.com for a very good overview on 303 fetishism and the chicago scene behind acid music.
as always the bonus track is not available on amazon or itunes but on youtube. enjoy the acid house classic ‘lack of love’ by charles b and adonis (desire records 1988):
Electro ‘81-’83
Saturday, June 20th, 2009electro music in it’s pure form is primarily about tr808 drum machine fetishism. several synthesizers helped start a new music genre (dx7, tb303, tr909, kpr77 etc), but tr808 seems to be the most prominent of them. if time allows there will be further styleguide compilations for early 80s electro r’n'b and electro rap.
