THE POWER OF THE GROOVE

GROOVE IS IN THE HEART DJ DMITRY's TEKTONIQ RMX

Heart beat

house tape from 1993 by groovenick, Detroit, MI

Recorded New Haven, CT 1993

Groovenick House II Side A 1993

groovenick House II Side B 1993

Around 1997, my good friend Jon Turi of Sonic Groove handed me an untitled mixtape unlike any I had heard before. It's hard to put a label on this. Bleep, electro, freestyle, old house, techno ca. 91. It's a beautiful grab bag. I feel like I stepped into a NYC club like Danceteria ca. '91 when I listen to this.  I named it for the Ricki Lake sample in the Tricky Disco track on side B.

Tracklist in progress, PLEASE help if you can.  I would LOVE to get all the artists their due credit.

01 Set Jah Off - Looney Tunes (Frankie Bones and Lenny D)
02 The Mexican - Jellybean Benitez
03 Musique Non-Stop (1991 rmx) - Kraftwerk
04 Hey Hey Can U Relate? - DJ Mink
05 Lapis Lazuli B2- Primitive Records
06 ?
07 ?  (Nightmares on Wax?

(I don't know a lot of the tracks on this mix by name, it's full of obscure records. 
 Sorry about the poor playlisting)

RELEASE NOTES

Emerging from the depths of the Minneapolis underground scene, The Worm is one of the best underground techno duos in the US, composed of midwest stalwarts Naughty Wood and Heckadecimal. Naughty Wood brings decades of experience, including collaborations on Traxx’s esteemed Chicago imprint Nation. The machine wizard known as Heckadecimal boasts a deep catalog with releases spanning Always Human Tapes and Great Circles. In early 2016, the mysterious tape-duplicator Ryan Wurst received some demos, which soon became The Worm, a very rare and limited cassette on Always Human Tapes. In April of that year, The Worm flew to Denver to perform live at a basement rave co-hosted by Deep Club and Always Human Tapes, at which Traxx also delivered a DJ set. The Worm’s sound was minted in Ryan Scannura’s brain.

Fast forward 8 years, and Ryan S. saw it time for two absolutely mental tracks from the AHT cassette to finally be pressed to wax, together with two other cuts. The A-side kicks off with “12 Days Of Squirm,” a deep, pulsating acid earworm that builds in intensity. “LISA” could almost be an outtake from a lost Nation session. The tune melds haunting melodies with a demented beat, sure to scare off most casual diggers. Deep Club presents two new-old tracks on side B. “808 Verb Talk” is a slimy, wiggly mix in the vein of 12 Days. Finally, “Pytch1” brings the energy down in an extended, slow-burning closer. Eight years and two Ryans later, this collection is finally ready for turntables in living rooms and foggy basements around the world. Only for the most devoted midwest techno warriors!

THE WORM - On The Move 12" EP CLIP (Deep Club 09 / Jewel Series)

Groovenicks! I am back with another fresh set o' grooves for your ears and feet. 

This set is a collage of dub, house, new stuff from Detroit, some more dub....it's quite a vibe.

Music from Mike Huckaby (RIP), Mike Schommer & Steve O'Sullivan, Deee-Lite, Santonio Echols, DJ Cent, Kassian, Brian Kage, F1 Shifty, Stefan Ringer, CV313, Blue 6 & The Robinson.

Labels range from Synth, Upstairs Asylum, Free Range, Anode, echospace and more.

This is an extended edition of a recent Deep Space Radio broadcast (catch me every Monday at 8 pm on deepspaceradio.com) that aired on 2.17.25

(For you gear heads - I recorded this set on a customized Condesa Carmen mixer. Mostly vinyl. Let me know if you can hear a difference vs the other mixes I've posted here...and a quick note on the cover art - I've created an homage to my first mixer - a Marantz with absolutely no bells or whistles and a rotary cross-fader. The beginning of "My Life In The Groove")


Hope you enjoy. Please share if you do!
