DJ Dave Pineda's Flashback To The Eighties Mix

MANUEL - "Occhi Occhi Occhi" (HYSTERIC Extended Edit)

Gina X Performance (the group consisting primarily of Gina X on vocals and Zeus B. Held on production) were way ahead of their time. Their dark blend of synths, detached vocals and infectious grooves do not easily lend themselves to conventional categorization. Their "hit", No G.D.M, is a prime example. In an era of mostly meaningless lyrics (at least on the dance floor), Gina X were producing songs dedicated to Quentin Crisp, an early 20th century figure known for effeminate mannerisms, social critiques through his writing and one man theatre productions that would bring him to a wider audience later in his life. The song tittle, No G.D.M., was a reference to a Crisp quote in his book, the Naked Public Servant, that there was "no great dark man". If you want a deeper insight into that quote, you won't find it here.

All that aside, this track has such a groove you almost forget Gina is singing about lesbians and death, among other things. The edit slices up the original and stretches it out, reworking the vocals to lend the whole track a more dubby vibe and adding some slight percussion and sound manipulation. It also bumps the tempo up a bit to 118 from around 110. Enjoy!

As always, if you dig the edit, please repost and share and do yourself and the artist a favor and check out more of their work!

Introduction of some female sensibilities into the Slow Motion stable. System Olympia hails from Calabria and was formerly part of London based Royalty. You know the drill by now, tear jerking synths, chest crushing bass and that indefinable slow-motion disco swagger that we have made all our own. Dance floor, after party, headphones, locked groove tools – we got it covered.

Cellophane Brain (Gimme Love "1983") - [Vintage Audio Mastering]

Elitechnique. Bordello A Parigi. Finally! Right? The Rotterdam duo arrive in Amsterdam with two cuts of groove dipped electro disco. “Disco D’Azur” starts as it means to go on. Juddering bass and crystalline synth lines open into astral avenues, chords cascade and flow before they build into triumphant highs. The flip keeps the party fires burning. “Riva Riviera” takes its cue from “Disco D’Azur”, bold and broad bars with clean percussion with just a touch more mirrorball romance. Keys intertwine, embrace and twirl away as Elitechnique lead you from dusk to dawn.

Raw Energy by JD Twitch showing Petersen's Trance (Not Trance) the way to the dancefloor. Synths and sitars for eternal bliss on the flipside. Another pin glowing!

Back in 2017, Basso delved into his micro-press cassette collection to treat us to the first retrospective of kosmische wizard Trance. Spanning both the bucolic and galactic, 'Tapes' (GBR010) suspended time and space, enveloping us in the nebulous beauty of Jürgen Petersen's misty ambience. Among the appreciative audience for this mind expanding release was one JD Twitch aka Keith McIvor, one half of the mighty Optimo. Keith's vision of remixing Jurgen's 'Purification' for the club was embraced by both the artist and the label guy with glowing eyes. Charting a course through progressive house, ambient techno and the weirder bits of the solar system, McIvor combines the celestial synthesis of the original with some tough and tracky drum programming, turning the intensity up to 11 in pursuit of early morning ascension. A sensitive arrangement allows space for Peterson's waveforms to work their magic, while laser fire and additional fx abuse unlock evolutionary abilities buried deep in your unconscious mind. The previously unreleased, largely unheard 'Contemplation' was originally intended to feature on the 'Tapes' compilation, but fell off the edge of that flat Earth thanks to its maximal runtime. Too good to remain a secret, this crepuscular creation enjoys the entirety of the B-side, drifting through the eons via meditative electronics, delicate sitar and a touch of tapey flutter. Embrace the almost 40 year old tape's flaws and imperfections that could not be restorated and dive into the immersive and unparalleled. This is music for higher beings.
