Groove Armada - Rockers [GA Archive]

A few days before 12-21.  Now this is how the numbers work 12-21-22. 23, 24, 25.  Lots of dreams becoming reality in the next few years.  I mean I been doing this sh1t for decades.  12-21-12.  Remember that?  12-21-02.  Remember that?  12-21-92.  Probably don't remember that, but the era of STORMRAVE just ended.  Blueprint written.  Here is to new beginnings.

Deep Inside

Just a Song Before I Go

Tommie Sunshine & Myself came together without warning to do a B2B set which went mix for mix, without knowing what the other one was going to play and it became one for the record books.   We were in the trenches, deep in the mud and the sound quality reflects that.  But it's O.K.  You will get the message here.  No sync, No practice, just two guys who have been doing our respective things for a sound which we would being playing if we lived to a 100 years old.

TOMMIE SUNSHINE B2B FRANKIE BONES

You always have to be a student of the game.  Always.  I have been a great follower of the Armory Podcast so when it became time to actually do one, there was a lot to think about.  Decades of history place me as a “Techno” DJ.  But most people who actually collect the history of DJ culture already know, Breaks have always been a part of my history.  Now my first impulse was to play cool guy and go collect the hottest breaks I could find and pretend that I could hang with anyone who came before or after me.  I’m humbled.  

I can’t do that.  Some of Iva’s mixes have totally blown my socks off.  I’ve watched Stanton Warriors Punks label become the Metalheadz of this breaks genre.  Then I hear someone like D-Bridge do a slower 130 BPM track, and it’s unfuckablewith.   That’s not a word, but it should be.  

So where does that put me with this episode? Bonesbreaks. It’s a series of vinyl which started many, many years ago as a concept in 1987, and went on to multiple volumes around a dozen, and were the first breakbeat records that fused “House” together when nobody did that.  It’s great to reminisce, but to me it always has been a sum of all parts.  So if 2000 Saturday Nights have passed and nobody cared to listen until this Saturday Night, Welcome to the future, my reality. 

The tracks here are from the new Bonesbreaks Volumes.  14, 15, 16, 17.  They are more recent then the first.  I don’t have to copy anyone else’s style in Breaks.  I don’t want to.  You hold down your lane.  I’m going to stay in mine.   I’ve been driving this way for a long time.  I’ve been able to update what I have been doing without losing the original flavor.

It’s quite interesting to hear newer styles built off the original analog method I always used. Everything is as it was.  Just cleaner and more dynamic.  Tons of crafty drums and samples, not Ableton or TRAKTOR and stem packs.   It’s more 80’s Hip Hop by design, then Trap or Dubstep.   But that is where it gets interesting, because we are out with the old and in with the new, yet maybe timeless, maybe not.  It’s subjective, so I will leave it up to you. 

Enjoy,
Peace, Love, Unity & Respect to all, 
Frankie Bones

Frankie Bones Live at TechnoState May 2018

AMNESIA HOUSE - 30 YEARS OF RAVE - SEPT. 1, 2018 - Amnesia House is the original warehouse/rave organization from the Midlands in the U.K.  My first show with Amnesia House was in 1990.  28 years in the making.  So how do you prepare for a residency you had in the U.K. 28 years later?

You can't possibly play 30 years in a 90 minute set.  It's impossible.   I went back to the golden era of rave.  1988-1992.  Most of the redux stuff I do doesn't fall far from the tree.  It's the same songs with a different twist and that added with a few current things made this into one interesting set.  Everything was on the fly, my apologies for a few technical issues.

ARMY OF ME (THE DIRECTORS CUT.  VIP)

Out now on vinyl / digital - lnk.to/CRM211

The powerful duo of Audiojack enter 2019 with a bang, returning to Crosstown Rebels once again. Delivering two distinct dancefloor tracks, their ​Inside My Head E​ P ​is set to make an impact across the globe.

Title track ​Inside My Head i​ s a deep and spellbinding production, woozy and enthralling with a pulsating beat and catchy vocal hook. On the flip, ​Behind The Curtain ​is a darker, more industrial affair with a gritty drum section and an enticing groove.

Audiojack explain that ​“‘Inside My Head’ was inspired by an old prog record from the 90s that used the same vocal. ‘Behind The Curtain’ is based around random noise generators and industrial sounds, which give it a very robotic feel. Then the distorted Wurlitzer piano comes in like a human rebellion against the machines and the track becomes a tete-a-tete between the two concepts”.

Audiojack ​began life over a decade ago on Ralph Lawson’s seminal imprint 20/20 Vision. Since then Underworld, Groove Armada and Hot Since 82 are among the artists who have enlisted them for remix duties. They began their own highly regarded imprint, Gruuv, more than eight years ago and the label has charted releases from ​artists including ​Emanuel Satie, David Mayer, Marc Romboy, Stimming and Joyce Muniz. The duo’s energetic DJ sets have seen them play in hundreds of cities in over sixty countries and they’ve also been nominated in the DJ Mag Best Of British Awards as well as recording a coveted Radio 1 Essential Mix.

Time waits for no one (BOOGIE2CLUB Mix)

"Call It Techno" was the blueprint track which was written on June 4, 1989.  It was at the forefront of European Rave Culture and became a well known track in the U.K. & Germany.  The documentary "We Call It Techno" explains it right from the beginning and from that came the second & third Love Parade themes being named "The Future Is Ours" off the XL/Citibeat LP by Musto & Bones.  And "My House Is Your House" from the Break Boys which was Frankie Bones aka on Fourth Floor Records in 1990.

Frankie became the American Pioneer of Rave Culture on both coasts in 1990, playing Techno as a movement.  The Peace, Love, Unity Movement which in 1993 became PLUR after a fight broke out at an event in The Bronx which had Richie Hawtin as it's headliner.

And the rest is history.  If words can paint the picture here, the first 5 Soundcloud links will describe a DJ who has a journey of a lifetime & still is active in 2024.  The music that comes from the heart & soul of the Brooklyn Underground.
