In our home all day I waited for the change
Something warm that I could say
Somehow I don't care
Though I love the clothes she wears
And I love her body bare

So I pray that it wont feel the same
Don't think that I can't see it in your eyes
Darling yeah we both knew it from the start
Some minds are better kept apart.

Here I pass the day in a most peculiar way
Watching ships out on the bay
And I swallow so hard
Am I too weak to fight
As the day becomes the night and I don't want to be right

So I pray that it wont feel the same
Don't think that I can't see it in your eyes
Darling yeah we both knew it from the start
Some minds are better kept apart.

Get It Now

'Great Hair' is a true example of how Flamingosis flips samples with his own signature; switching from boom-bap, to disco, boogie, soul, funk and chill wave. UKNOWY is proud to release the first physical album by Flamingosis with a limited run of cassette-tapes, out 12th Feb 2016.

"The cover picture was taken in 1977 at The World Frisbee Championships in Pasadena, California. My father is on the left of the picture & my uncle is on the right and they both went on to win their 2nd World Frisbee Freestyle pair title. The name 'Flamingosis' comes from a freestyle frisbee move that my father invented." - Flamingosis

Retouch Edit for the “Red Hot Moon” Ska Punk anthem by Tim Armstrong and Rancid. The original song is not changed at all, because it is “Indestructible”,  as its 2003 album name suggests. Original song was produced by Brett Gurewitz of Bad Religion). In the remix I did some gentle widening and respectful highlights for the song. Added very few beats and hats and lotsa subtle deep bass. 

Tempo is locked to much slower 150Bpm. So it should be perfect for the slow Pogo dance perhaps?!?! ... or for this awesome, romantic SKA dancing like in the original, at 1:43 ?!?!  : D 

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zly9--6A4Hk

The take on mixing one of my favorite Rancid songs was to celebrate Red Moon celestial even in Oct, 2015. The Red Hot Moon is eclipsed by Mini Moog rework only. Three Moog synth lines added to expand the lower domain. All done in Live9 with MiniMoog by Arturia. More explicit words are scrambled in case you take kids to the “grave yard tonight” to observe the Red Hot Moon event : ) 

The artwork is actual phot of the Red Super Moon I did from our backyard, as it’s was viewed those days from “Cali, California….”   : ) Canon Rebel T4i, w/o editing. No idea where the blue-ish glare is coming from, probably from the Moog button highlight?!?  : ) 

My tribute to Tim Armstrong, guys! So to quote him here "Respect to New York, respect to London, but we're from California and our state is golden" :D

Lyrics (and all rights) Rancid:  "Red Hot Moon"

Under a red hot moon, take a bus downtown to the Grave yard shift tonight

KC’s from Cali, California.
She's got a reputation that she didn't ask for.
She’s waiting for an escape now, escape is called the 164.
Now, KC, she won’t admit when she’s wrong,
now KC, she’s always run, run, run.
She’s a punk rocker, she don’t trust no one
on a south end bus all alone.

Under a red hot moon, take a bus downtown to the Grave yard shift tonight

KC was never caught up, like the rest of the rats in a fucking maze
“Check me out” she said, “I’m in a concrete jungle,
I’m an individual and you’re stuck in my waste”
Oh hell no, she knows what the truth is. Because she said so
She knows who her friends are so fuck you, don’t get no closer,
it’ll only make her run far away

Under a red hot moon, take a bus downtown to the Grave yard shift tonight

I know KC’s brother pretty well, lets say
we spent a lot of time hanging out
I always thought for he said that she’d be the one to get out of here
and make a life fore herself
but when we found her in the little league park,
in the dugout it was cold in the dark.
No one knew why she wouldn’t wake up,
I think she finally made it back home.

Under a red hot moon, take a bus downtown to the Grave yard shift tonight

[Rap verse by Rob Aston]
One time for your mind, two times for your soul three for the graveyard and the money I fold.
Dimmed out in the city where the sun burns slow, no hope it’s a pity I can’t say no.
It’s not my time to go, it’s not my time to die,
the last thing I wants for my mother to cry
It was love at first light, since the very first night,
things have never been the same since I took my first flight.
The way I live my life, I love; I live lavish, lost me from the start.
You lose, you’ll never have it! Untouched, unleashed, back up you don’t want it.
Stick him for his cash. It’s back, now he’s fronting.
Take two pass, I’ll take to blast.
Bust a mother fucker; I’m out on the flash. Pimped out, high as fuck.
I’m out of control. Let's bounce, rock, skate, Man I'm ready to roll.

Rancid - Red Hot Moon (Retouch Hot Moog Edit by Sam PROCK)

Melbourne purveyors of synth-funk, GL are back with all-new single ‘Number One’. 

The track release follows GL's stand-out performance at Splendour In The Grass in July, where Thompson also joined Mark Ronson onstage as part of his live supergroup. The pair emerged as a highlight of Sydney's OutsideIn Festival earlier this month, and promise to do the same again when they take to the stage at Meredith Music Festival this December.

An infectious treat of glowing synths, stratospheric vocals and luxurious neon-lit pop, "Number One" will enchant first time listeners as well as satiate fans of their debut EP ‘Love Hexagon’ in need of a GL fix. 

Written, Performed and Produced by GL
Mixed by Haima Marriott
Recorded by Andrei Eremin
Additional Production & Recording by Haima Marriott

GL - Number One

An unreleased track recorded in 1983 discovered in a dusty corner of the On-U tape archives. Taken from SCIENCE FICTION DANCEHALL CLASSICS, a curated selection of classics, rarities and unreleased tracks from the On-U Sound vaults by DJ & Audio Visual artist Trevor Jackson.

In some ways predicting the electro-fied sound of Neneh’s worldwide pop success with the Raw Like Sushi album, “Dead Come Alive” stems from a mid-80s period when Adrian took a production hiatus from his beloved reggae, deeply upset by the murder of his friend Prince Far I (he would later rekindle the dub flame when the opportunity arose in 1986 to work with hero Lee “Scratch” Perry). Instead he explored the possibilities of new studio technology. Early samplers and drum machines were put through their paces on work for the Tommy Boy label and remixes for the likes of Depeche Mode.

Octave One "Untold" Mix 1

20 years later...

In recent times there has been a lot of looking back to the early 1990s in house music which made me curious about what my dj sets actually sounded like back then. As it's 20 years on I thought it might be fun to put one up as an Optimo podcast, but sadly I had no recordings of that time as I had long given away or lost any tapes i had from then (everything was on cheap C90 cassette tapes in those days). Then, last week a local producer sent me his album to peruse and mentioned that he had a couple of mix tapes of mine, both from 1991.

So, here is a genuine 1991 mix recorded in that year when I was co-resident at Pure in Edinburgh (which ran from 1990 - 2000) when i was known simply as Twitch rather than JD Twitch (the JD was added many years later to stop people billing me as DJ Twitch, which I loathed).

Although I started djing in 1987, I didn't start mixing records together until 1990 and couldn't afford turntables until the end of that year, so initially when i was djing at Pure I was literally learning on the job. Thankfully the euphoria of those times coupled with the fact it was all so new and exciting to so many meant that I got away with it as audiences were a lot more forgiving than they are today. Requests were fairly rare and usually a lot more oblique, often along the lines of "Can you play some "E" music?" Heckling or shouting "come on!', "harder!", "techno!" was non existent. it wasn't a better time, just different, but audiences in general were a bit politer and more patient.

This mix is two sides of two different C90 cassettes stuck together. The first half is from late 1991. It has a lot of that "E" music people were asking for on it. The mixing ranges from pretty good to the odd "ouch" moment but overall is not bad for a beginner. The second half is from earlier in 1991 and the mixing is a lot more, uh, "freeform" and gets through a high number of tracks in a short time. I think this section may have been recorded live at Pure although I can't be sure as despite running for ten years we only ever made a tiny number of live recordings. There are a couple of massively cheesy and seriously dated rave anthems on here and a couple of tracks I have absolutely no recollection of ever having heard in my life, but there is also a lot of music that I still play to this day and indeed have never stopped playing since, and some, such as MK's "Burning", Mike Perras and CLS that are enduring classics. To use the parlance of back in the day, the mix gets a little "mental" towards the end. The tape begins with a live recording of a bit of chat from the Ragga Twins live at Pure in early 1991 and ends with a particularly twisted take on David Lynch's "Lady In The Radiator Song" followed by a blast of Throbbing Gristle. Sometimes I'd drop in things like that at Pure which maybe helps explain why a few regulars ended up with mental health issues! Pure had a reputation for being a techno club and in the early days a temple to all things rave but it was always a lot more than that (as well as those things too of course) as this podcast demonstrates. Despite the sound (and mixing) limitations I think it's an interesting document of what was going on in my world 20 years ago. 


The audio fidelity of this podcast is not high, particularly in the second half. The original cassette tape was probably copied multiple times as it was passed around from person to person. Richard Chisolm who excavated the tapes has done some remastering to improve the sound but old multi generation tapes rarely sound good and it was probably quite lo fi to begin with. It was mixed live using a cheap mixer through a cheap amp. Back then the vast majority of dj mixers were very basic - no eq, no gain and no gizmos whatsoever; just a volume fader, a crossfader and phono / line switches which I used to flick to cut tracks in and out. The mix is 85 minutes long and is a 192kbps mp3 (118mb). 

Thanks to Richard aka Restless Native.
 

Optimo Podcast 11 - Twitch 1991 (recorded in 1991)

A mashup of Dennis Ferrer and Bob Marley I made back in the day (2008), which was welcomed with warm support from DJs like Grant Nelson, Jask, Andy Ward of Soul Central, Roy Davis Jr, and a select few to whom I sent it. After about 6 years of being exclusive to this group of hand picked DJs, I finally decided to share it with you all. The amazing part is, this tune still manages to stay relevant on today's dancefloor. Enjoy :)

Octave One -  Blackwater (Terence Parker's Spirit of Detroit Mix)

March 2013 Mix

Techno is a family affair.

Arriving onto the electronic scene with "I Believe", featured on the monumental (10 Records) compilation "Techno 2: The Next Generation" (alongside Carl Craig, Marc Kinchen, and Jay Denham) in 1990, Octave One is the brainchild of the phenomenal native sons of Detroit, MI (USA), the Burden Brothers. The core unit of the band, made up of Lenny and Lawrence Burden (with revolving members of Lynell, Lorne, and Lance Burden), have had the privilege of bringing their high energy live shows to many parts of the world, including Australia, Belgium, Denmark, France, Germany, Greece, Ireland, Italy, Japan, Netherlands, Portugal, Romania, Russia, Slovenia, Spain, Switzerland, UK, and the USA, among many other places.

The brothers have released groundbreaking dance anthems on their own Detroit based record label, 430 West Records. Including DJ Rolando's "Jaguar", Random Noise Generation's "Falling in Dub" (the other Burden brother moniker), Aux 88's "My A.U.X. Mind" (on the 430 West sister label Direct Beat), as well as their own Octave One recordings: "Empower", "Nicolette", 'The X-files", "Meridian", “Love and Hate”, “The Greater Good”, and 'Siege". They have remixed tracks for such artists as Massive Attack, Akabu (Joey Negro), DJ Rolando (Jaguar), Steve Bug, John Thomas, Aril Brikha, Vince Watson, The Trampps, Rhythm is Rhythm, and Inner City.
