Hashmoder: DJ Mixes

I recorded digitally my entire StreetSounds Electro compilation series. I recorded my StreetSounds vinyls into Protools, with as much digital restorations as possible and widened stereo-field.  The genre Electro since the early 80′s was electric funk and hip-hop music, mainly for break-dancing, bee-bopping, and body-popping. In my opinion, the word & genre of “electro" today has been hijacked in the form of 4/4 dance music and not anywhere near its true roots.

The label Streetsounds was part of the UK Streetwave stable of labels created by Morgan Khan in 1981, specializing in releasing Electro and Hi-NRG releases. StreetSounds were series of compilation albums created from some of the hottest 12″ imports of the day. This series would run for over 6 years and contain over 50 albums. The most coveted of the Streetsounds releases were the Electro series. These albums introduced the UK to the developing hip-hop scene from America – a stroke of genius that brought electro and early hip hop from the underground to the UK high street which helped in the creation of the UK’s hip hop scene. The Electro series ran for a total of 27 albums (and one box set) from 1982 to 1988. The albums were initially labeled StreetSounds Electro, later changing to StreetSounds Hip Hop after release 12 in 1986.  All of the albums were competently mixed by the best remixers of the day – predominately from the UK. Headed by “Herbie The Mastermind” (aka Herbie Laidley) the team also featured Kiss FM radio DJ’s Dave VJ and Max LX who were also members of UK electro outfit Hard Rock Soul Movement, responsible for the massive “Double Def Fresh” release.

______________________________

'Getting There' is an hypnotic and transcendental music track with three separations which merge together as one towards the long outro. Synthesizer chords and evolving textural layers, along with organic, acoustic percussion.

In three-four time signature driven by sequenced synthesizer baselines, 'Getting There' will take you through a long, driving, montage-like, scenic and groovy journey with the intention, vision and final destination leading you the way to an imaginary utopian world of tomorrow.

Retro-future sound of an updated 1980s with musical and production/technical influences, borrowing heavily from Trevor Horn, Frankie Goes To Hollywood, Yello, Pink Floyd, Phil Collins, Peter Grabriel, and Jan Hammer. Also a nod to The Orb.

Getting There

Electronic dance. 4/4 time signature. 128 BPM.  Hypnotic, syncopated bassline is comprised of six-layer stack of analog and digital synthesizers, driving the groove throughout the entire track.  Hard edge with homage to retro electronic dance music from the early 1980s.  Tight beat with very angular, symetirical arrangements in line with brutalism architecture.

TODAY: SEPTEMBER 16TH, 2014.
30 YEARS AGO TODAY THIS MIXTAPE: SEPTEMBER 16TH, 1984.

The Twilight Zone was truly my favorite nightclub at 185 Richmond Street, Toronto.  Its doors were opened in 1980 and closed in 1989.  

Denise Benson --a Toronto-based journalist/broadcaster and DJ-- in her article for TheGrid (which is a weekly magazine) described the nightclub in her own words:

"...a magical late-night place where the mix of people was just as eclectic as the music itself. The Twilight Zone embraced the collage of sounds that came to define the 1980s, as local and international DJs played disco, funk, electro, early hip-hop, new wave, freestyle, house and techno over the years, and on an infamously state-of-the-art sound system. The Twilight Zone was the place to be, with large, diverse crowds dancing until morning week after week."  (http://www.thegridto.com/culture/music/then-now-the-twilight-zone/)

On a Sunday night, September 16th, 1984, at the young age of 13 years old and supposed to be in bed for school the following day, my elder brother snuck me in The Twilight Zone.  He took me straight to the DJ booth.  As I entered the booth, I gave the DJ a blank 90-minute TDK cassette tape.  He took my tape, inserted it in the deck, hit record, and I just sat on the sofa next to the booth and listened to the music all night long.

The DJ that night was no other than the legendary Greg Howlett.  He was Toronto's best who broke new grounds. Howlett's friend and DJ comrade, Vince Degiorgio (songwriter/producer), describes Greg "as masterful DJ who played in clubs straight and gay.  His mixing style was described as positively sublime and built a rush. Howlett was a rock star before DJ's were allowed to be.  He would spin music (which never lets you off the hook) for hours, more than four nights a week" at all the clubs and gigs.  Greg Howlett passed away in 1992, and his music and memory will forever live on.

In honor and tribute to both Greg Howlett and The Twilight Zine club, I have digitized in Protools the tape mix (which Howlett recorded for me on that Sunday night, September 16th, 1984). I took out most of the hiss-noise and did a little mastering for your listening pleasure.  Please sit back and enjoy this time capsule of sounds from 30 years ago.

I recorded digitally my entire StreetSounds Electro compilation series. I recorded my StreetSounds vinyls into Protools, with as much digital restorations as possible and widened stereo-field.  The genre Electro since the early 80′s was electric funk and hip-hop music, mainly for break-dancing, bee-bopping, and body-popping. In my opinion, the word & genre of “electro" today has been hijacked in the form of 4/4 dance music and not anywhere near its true roots.

The label Streetsounds was part of the UK Streetwave stable of labels created by Morgan Khan in 1981, specializing in releasing Electro and Hi-NRG releases. StreetSounds were series of compilation albums created from some of the hottest 12″ imports of the day. This series would run for over 6 years and contain over 50 albums. The most coveted of the Streetsounds releases were the Electro series. These albums introduced the UK to the developing hip-hop scene from America – a stroke of genius that brought electro and early hip hop from the underground to the UK high street which helped in the creation of the UK’s hip hop scene.

JUNE 2001...
I did this mix back in June 2001. And it still stands the test of time (according to feedback from most of listeners whom claim that they still play & enjoy this mix to this day.)

PROJECT JUNE (DJ MIX-SET)

This mix is the serious kick-ass, no nonsense dance music you'll hear, like one of those rare nights you hit the right spot and everything was bliss; you were sucked in by the music, deep in your zone, and grooving/dancing in a trance; and when the night was over, you were "OMFG that was amazing," dripping in sweat, and you hadn't experienced a night like that in a long long long time.

'NightVision Five' pays homage to Hashmoder's 'Tutumaraia' track. 
Enigma-esque synth pads serve as motif under two counterpoint syncopated synth leads going tightly against/opposite each other, in a driving motion. 

This track is a nod to Tangerine Dream and Enigma.er

______________________________

'NightVision Six' is a retro-future with an updated take and homage to the 1980s sound/genre. An electronic driven by a very tight groove stemming from a synthesizer baseline which drives the entire track along a montage highway to the future-past of an utopian tomorrow. Stabbing chords of stacked synthesizer layers. Carefully programmed drum machine. Heavily processed guitars and synths. Full-on dynamic automation.

'NightVision Six' gives a nod to Paul Hardcastle, Jan Hammer, Trevor Horn, Frankie Goes To Hollywood, The Art of Noise, and Yello.

Hashmoder (Omar Hash): Music composition, sound design, instruments, vocals, vocoder, arrangements, programming, mixing and mastering.

'mindFULL' is carefully constructed electronic music track with synthesizer baselines (syncopated), granular synthesis and pad layers, all evolving very tightly in and out of each other texturally and musically, along a mildly distorted groove of a drum machine. 

This track is about being a victim/survivor from a highly manipulative and malignant person who has borderline and narcissistic personality disorders on the full spectrum. Hence the dreamy ethereal sounds. Overall meaning is about the honeymoon state at the start of the relationship, but then it becomes chaotic; whenever there was chaos, the abused victim dreams of going back to the honeymoon state and staying there for validation ('trauma bonding') after being devalued and discarded by the borderline/narcissist; and no matter what, even after the relationship is over, a part of the victim still loves and misses the good idea/image which the abused only hopes the abuser to become (again: trauma bonding). Hence the middle part of the track sounding chaotic but quantized, then gradually going back to pleasant-sounding etherealness. In essence, this track is about a dream of 'what it might've been' if everything stayed constantly beautiful; and also it’s a mourning -- the death of someone whom the victim misses terribly but that person does not exist in real life, because such a person is a chameleon, a person wearing a mask at all times, lacking empathy.

-----LYRICS-----

Give it a rest
Cuz we're hitting the wall now 
Mess with my head
The child in me cries out

I must confess
I walked through the marshes
Up to the waters edge
I saw myself drowning

I turned away
Went back the way I came
Decided to live
And smiled at your game

______________________________

'Tutumaraia' was Hashmoder's second breakthrough attempt at composing/producing a long, epic electronic track with two movements separated by a long breakdown. 

Over fifty tracks of synthesizer layers and leads, percussion, original background vocals, voice samples, and vocoders, all driven along by tightly syncopated synth bassline. 

The first movement sounds very Enimga-esque. Second movement after middle-breakdown goes off into very tight synth-syncopation craziness.

'Tutumaraia' gives nod/homage to Enigma, Herbie Hancock, Casey Young, Trevor Horn, Franke Goes To Hollywood, The Art of Noise, Jan Hammer, and Yello.

This very special mix-set is a sequel to my other mix Project June which I did in June 2001. This deep mix still means so much to me, especially around the time when I started losing weight. I recorded this mix the day before I left to Arizona for 30 days, stayed with my best friend Shawn Willbanks, and hiked Phoenix South Mountain everyday  in the scorching Arizona summer heat.
