Music For Whales - Tribute To Pete Namlook

House music started in Chicago, but what gets lost in history lessons is how it evolved and mutated in New York. None of that would have happened without Todd Terry. Bringing together hip-hop and house with his distinctive drum sounds, Terry not only created a whole subgenre (hip-house—check out Jungle Brothers' 1988 classic "I'll House You") but helped redefine the sound as a whole, bringing it to the mainstream with a string of classic remixes that stretched well into the '90s.

Through his catalogue of records as Hard House, Orange Lemon, Bombshell, Masters At Work (before Louie Vega and Kenny Dope would take that name) and many others, Terry built a discography unlike any other in dance music. Even if you only have a vague idea of who he is, you've definitely heard a record of his, probably ten. (That legendary remix of Everything But The Girl's "Missing?" That's him too.) His sound is loose, punchy and often deliriously catchy, rooted in the ethos of the classic hip-hop he started out playing.

Terry's RA Podcast focuses on a golden era of house from the late '80s to the early '90s, including classic cuts from Marshall Jefferson, Inner City, Crystal Waters and, of course, Terry himself. There's also a modern update from Amine Edge & DANCE. As he says in the interview below, it's a way to "show where house came from." Whether you're a newcomer or have heard these tracks hundreds of times before, there's nothing like hearing them from an innovator of the form.

The 147th edition of the long-running Mood Series introduces a fresh new name to its catalog: Marek Bartůněk, a Czech-born, Scotland-based musician, DJ, remixer and visual artist. His debut for the label, Images Without Meanings, is a five-track release that balances atmosphere, structure and mood.
The title track, 'Images Without Meanings', begins with an airy, dreamlike quality. Hovering chords and a firm beat create an organic, almost cinematic world. By the end, the echo blossoms until it feels like a fading memory. Its counterpart, 'Movies Without Sound', follows with metallic chords that bounce as if off unseen surfaces. It’s a track that thrives on layering. Deep, mid-tempo and brimming with a sense of quiet contentment. 'What Ifs Without Hopes' pushes things into darker, heavier territory. Anchored by the record’s boldest bassline, it builds with aquatic textures and cavernous resonance. The swirling chords and hypnotic groove add to the momentum. From there, 'About The Scene' (featuring Inzajeano) introduces a sharper focus. The track is addictive in its straightforward execution, where crisp echoes and detailed sound design fuse into something classy. Closing the release, Inzajeano’s Sound Remix of the opener adds a fresh, tech-driven dimension. It fades in slowly, unveiling a slick bassline and unique rhythmic shape. A worthy reinterpretation that underscores the project’s versatility.
Overall, Images Without Meanings is a striking release for Bartůněk on the Mood Series. It has a balance of introspection and finesse, proving he’s a talent to watch as both a producer and conceptual sound artist.

Psychic Ills - Mantis (Juan Atkins Remix)

The greatest band that never existed!
Bill Drummond & Jim Cauty.

For any pedestrians that aren't aware, these 2 guys influenced whatever electronic music you are listening to. For those in the dark, immediately invest your time, and with the next click of your mouse, start reading whatever you can online . Here's a little teaser...

'Kylie said Trance' is the B-side of 'When Kylie said to Jason'. It was released in 1989 and is regarded by many as the birth of Trance music. Also the best thing that Kylie Minogue or Jason Donovan ever had their name on.
In 1990 The KLF released the album 'Chill Out'. I'll presume no more needs to be said about that.
In 1991 they were the biggest selling band in the world, with 4 top ten singles and 'The White Room' album.
On 12 February 1992, they opened the BRIT Awards in London with a thrash version of '3a.m. Eternal', accompanied by punk band Extreme Noise Terror. The performance ended with Bill Drummond firing blanks from a machine gun over the heads of the crowd, and their promoter Scott Piering announcing over the PA that "The KLF have now left the music business".
They were subsequently kicked out of the ceremony and unable to receive their award for  "Best British Group'.  Later that night, on the red carpet of the official after-party, they dumped a dead sheep and 8 gallons of blood, along with the message "I DIED FOR EWE - BON APETIT" tied around its body.
After the show they had a motorcycle courier collect the BRIT Award statuette. It was finally found years later, buried in a field near Stonehenge and then returned to the duo. It hasn't been seen again.
Following months of media speculations, on the 14th May 1992, The KLF deleted their entire back music catalogue and destroyed all their merchandise. An action made possible because, in the true DIY spirit of punk, they owned their own record label. This action was to prove that their break-up was serious and not a stunt to sell more records.

To mark 2 months until http://soundcloud.com/groups/world-techno-day 2010, this track was dumped here by YFY to educate and enjoy.

'Intellectual Property laws were created by lawyers not artists.' J.Cauty, 2003.

Justified!
