Donnie's series are special 30 minutes mixes, released once a month.
Why special ? The intro of the mixes could say it.
I really want to share with you a part of myself, my influences, my roots, all the tracks I love to listen to for a while doing something special with.
Some of you could be disappointed, and say that it's not what I used to listen to from the Don.
But It's the goal of these series, I always try to go where nobody think I 'm gonna be. And try to «N-large Your Parties» my friends, eheheh.
I hope you gonna enjoy, discover or remember, some tracks.


The Volume 1 :
SPECIAL HIP HOUSE MIX
Hip house, also known as rap house, is a musical genre that mixes elements of house music and hip hop. The style rose to prominence during the 1980s in Chicago and New York. Hip House originated in Chicago and quickly became popular across the U.S. and in the UK. 
Minor controversy ensued in 1989 when a U.S. record called "Turn Up The Bass" by Tyree Cooper claimed it was the "first hip house record on vinyl." The Beatmasters disputed this, pointing out that "Rok da House" had originally been written and pressed to vinyl in 1986. (©Wikipedia)


 

1 - Clubland Feat. Quartz - Let's Get Busy (The Snap Attack Mix) – 1990 Geffen Company 
I can't get this bass out of my mind! A good intro into the world of hip house. Do you know Snap, the remixer on this one ? “The Power”, dude !

2 - Fast Eddie Feat. Sundance - Git On It (Fast Eddie Remix) – 1989 D.J. International Rec 
Some of you could know this guy because he produced the outstanding “Acid Thunder”, a classic acid house track. He also worked with Dj Funk on some famous ghetto tracks like “Pump it”. And I have to confess I love girls rappin' too. 


3 - Twin Hype - For Those Who Like The Groove – 1989 Profile Rec 
“Bust a move” say the twin at the beginning. It reminds me something... hummm. Young Mc, probably... ahah. Have you seen the video ? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MJtRCkrnlik
I dig everything, dancers, the twin rappin', the club scene looks like a rave party !!!


4 - Deskee - Let There Be House (Westbam Mix) – 1989 Black Out Rec 
Like Snap with Turbo B, It's the pefect mix between German producers and US rappers. In 1989, Westbam played at the first Love Parade in Germany, and 2 years after, he organized the big annual rave “MayDay”, but it's another story...


5 - Mr. Lee - Get Busy (Lidell Townsell Mix) – 1990 Jive Rec 
I could't make a hip house mix without this one. Mr Lee is a legendary rapper, producer from Chicago, pioneer of the hip house movement. I'm totally out of control when I hear it ! The siren, the sample “get busy” drive me crazy.


6 - Brandon Cooke Feat. Roxanne Shante - Sharp As A Knife (Acid Attack) – 1986 Mercury 
This track could be on a Acid mix too. Sometimes, people tell me : “who would be the artist you want to work with”. Roxanne Shante : the queen of rap. Girls rappin' is a kind of obsession for me. And Roxanne Shante is one the best. The track is very special to me, It was the beginning of Acid House, and the lyrics of Roxanne fit perfectly with the beat. I couldn't fed up with this one. Such A BOMB !


7 - The Beatmasters Feat. The Cookie Crew - Rock Da House – 1987 Rhythm King Rec 
My precious vinyl !!! I got it on a vinyl compilation called “Bomb The Rock!” (http://ring.cdandlp.com/speed06/photo_grande/114371242.jpg) with other tracks : Coldcut Feat Yazz & The Plastic Population "Doctorin The House", Bomb The bass "Beat Dis" and S-Express "Theme From S-Express". All are huges as you could see. You should dig them, if not. For the frenchies, this track from the Beatmasters was the theme song for Tv show called “Ciel Mon Mardi”. Ahahah


8 - Tyree Cooper - Turn Up The Bass – 1988 D.J. International
As I mentioned before, this one could be the first hip house record on vinyl. Here is what is hip house. At the end of 80's, All best house records from chicago were released on Trax rec, or D.J. International. If you have some tracks from those labels, you probably have a masterpiece. “Turn Up The Bass” is one.


9 - Kc Flight - Planet E (Acid Drop Mix) – 2000 Eskimo Recordings
I have to say a big thank to the awesome Belgian Eskimo Recordings label, making me discover this track. He's a truly classic dope track. To be honest, I don't know if it's a real Hip house track. Because it has been released long time after the golden age of Hip house. But, in my opinion, this one could perfectly fit with a classic hip house / acid house genre, no ? And it could be in my classic dj set too.


10 - Lidell Townsell - Nu Nu – 1991 Clubhouse Rec
CHITOWN CHITOWN CHITOWN, The House music from Chicago had a huge influence on me. It's crystal clear, now. I love House. I love Acid House, I Love Ghetto House, I love Hip House... and I'm in love with this track from Lidell Townsell. “I can't get you out of my mind”!


I apologize in advance to all by the less quality mix of the tracks. We are in 1989-1990. And I use some of my own vinyls too. Oldie's but Donnie's !

Leland kept finding new life. This second set of remixes moves the album into new directions. Matthew Herbert takes “Lostfound” apart and rebuilds it twice over, Black Light Smoke lights a fire under it with restless sounds and Steve Bug changing it into a deep tune.

Shinichi Atobe returns with his second official EP after 15 years on Daniël Jacques' Jadac Recordings label. All music on 'Rebuild Mix 1.2.3.' has been created specifically made for Jacques' label and are reinterpretations of Jacques' tracks of his Discovery Change (Part 4) EP.

Rebuild Mix 1.2.3.

Shinichi Atobe - Mix 1 - Rebuild Mix 1.2.3. EP - JRSPEC-001 - Complete Track

Caravan’s Coarsica EP is a gorgeous six-tracker of wandering drum machines and shiny synths, washed with the burnt umbers and viridescent hues of the Australian outback. Computer-funk with a green thumb. As the track-listing suggests, Coarsica is a tribute to subtle and compelling beauty of Australia’s native flora, as if Costa Georgiadis and Dâm-Funk got away from the big smoke for a weekend and spent the whole time by the river cooking this bad boy up. Like rugged and stoic Banksia, or the regal Flindersia, each track on the Coarsica EP provides a dappled shade under which the weary dancer can rest in these hot summer months.

PREMIERE : Caravan - Enchylaena (Trail Mix)

Dark Entries and Honey Soundsystem Records have teamed up once more to release the final volume of gay porn soundtracks by San Francisco-based musician and producer, Patrick Cowley. One of the most revolutionary and influential figures in the canon of disco, Cowley created his own brand of Hi-NRG dance music, “The San Francisco Sound.” Born in Buffalo, NY on October 19, 1950, Patrick moved to San Francisco in 1971 to study at the City College of San Francisco. He founded the Electronic Music Lab at the school, where he would make experimental soundtracks by blending various types of music and adapting them to the synthesizer.

By the mid-70’s, Patrick’s synthesis techniques landed him a job composing and producing songs for disco superstar Sylvester, including hits like “You Make Me Feel (Mighty Real)”, “Dance Disco Heat” and “Stars.” This helped Patrick obtain more work as a remixer and producer. His 18-minute long remix of Donna Summer’s “I Feel Love” and his production work with edgy New Wave band Indoor Life were both of particular note. By 1981, Patrick had released a string of dance 12″ singles, like “Menergy” and “Megatron Man”. He also had founded Megatone Records, the label upon which he released his debut album, “Menergy”. Around this time Patrick was hospitalized and diagnosed with an unknown illness: that which would later be called AIDS. Throughout 1982, he recorded two more Hi-NRG hits, “Do You Wanna Funk” for Sylvester, and “Right On Target” for Paul Parker, as well as a second solo album “Mind Warp”. On November 12, 1982, he passed away.

In 1979 Patrick was contacted by John Coletti, owner of famed gay porn company Fox Studio in Los Angeles. Patrick jumped on this offer and sent reels of his college compositions from the 70s to John in LA. Coletti then used a variable speed oscillator to adjust the pitch and speed of Patrick’s songs in-sync with the film scenes. The result was the VHS collections “Muscle Up” and “School Daze” released in 1979 and 1980. “Afternooners” is the third collection of Cowley’s instrumental songs, recorded in between 1979 and 1982. Some of these recordings are demos from the album "Mind Warp".  All songs were originally untitled, so we’ve used the titles from Fox Studio’s 8mm film loops. This compilation also includes three bonus tracks found in the archives of fellow Megatone Records recording artist Paul Parker and the attic of teenage friend Lily Bartels. Influenced by Tomita, Wendy Carlos, and Giorgio Moroder, Patrick crafted a singular sound from his collection of synthesizers, percussion, modified guitars, and hand-built equipment. The listener enters a world of forbidden vices, evocative of Patrick’s time spent in the bathhouses of San Francisco. The songs on “Afternooners” reflect the advances of the equipment available at the onset of the 1980s. Cowley's unadulterated electronic forms are stripped down and dubbed up. Lush electronic percussion, soaring synthesizer riffs and low slung funk grooves comingle on these magnificent soundscapes.

Featuring 70 minutes of music never before released on vinyl. All songs have been remastered by George Horn at Fantasy Studios in Berkeley, CA. The vinyl is housed in a gatefold jacket designed by Berlin-based artist Gwenael Rattke, featuring black and white photos of Patrick in his studio that opens to a full color array of x-rated scenes from the Fox Studio vaults. Included is a fold-out poster featuring a handmade collage using photography and xeroxed graphics of classic gay porn imagery and an essay from Drew Daniel of Matmos. For Patrick’s 67th birthday, Dark Entries and Honey Soundsystem Records present a glimpse into the futuristic world of a young genius. These recordings shed a new light on the experimental side of a disco legend who was taken too soon.

Australian group Retiree return with ‘House Or Home’, set for release by Rhythm Section International on
21st September 2018.

With the announcement comes new single ‘Magic Eye’, a love song that bridges the end of a relationship.
“It was really nice teaming up with Becky (Sui Zhen) to finish this one. We started writing the song before
a break up and finished it after it ended. It’s a strange time to write a song. I feel like from the start, the
tone of the song was kind of indicative of the situation.”

about
Imagine standing on an empty room. Nothing seems to be moving.
There is not a single noise there. Just a wooden door. You it and
you find a space full of color, movement. You can see a few bodies
swaying. You can hear clearly a melody. A beautiful vocal. Several
palm trees arise. You find yourself in the middle of one of the most
beautiful paradises on earth, Martinique Island.

What you are hearing is Raphäel Toiné’s “Ce Ta Ou / Sud Africa
Révolution”, one of the most gorgeous Zouk albums ever made.
Funk arrangements, fat bass &amp; crazy synths all melt together in a
record that transports the dancer to a remote piece of land in
the middle of the Caribbean.

This rare afro-boogie and Zouk synth funky LP was recorded in
Switzerland in 1986 by this incredible artist that knew how to
condense the vibe and lifestyle of a region in a piece of black gold.
"Dread vibrations" or "Sortilège", two of the seven cuts that
compose this work are both ready to delight a listener on the
prettiest sun rise as well as make dancers drool at the end of a
three-day festival.

"Femmes pays douces", played by Antal in many shows, is an impressive exercise where vocals
decorate a melodic instrumentation that could be listened in loop
forever. &quot;Bizness a Bangkok&quot; is a synth and jazzy masterpiece that captures the 80s pure essence and brings peace to the body and mind.

Glossy Mistakes unleashes its second release reissuing this highly
demanded piece of music that really deserves to reach an
audience that can appreciate this ode to the Caribbean islands. Let
yourself loose and embrace the essence of the 80s Raphäel Toiné
sounds with a fresh coconut in your hands.

Limited edition, 600 copies.

Freak Terrains is back! This week's show celebrates a new reissue release on Anthology from Australian wave/jazz funk group, The Cigarettes. A homespun concoction of effects-laden guitar, rudimentary rhythm boxes, and primitive synthesizer, vibed straight to tape and left abandoned for over thirty years in favor of future legend.
