Chicago House - Most Wanted

Been a while since I did one of these and always try and do one sporadically just to listen to those old records that I love and cherish.  its very easy for them to get pushed to the back on the shelf with all the new stuff coming out.  Some of these, in fact most of these have been reissued but these are all  the original 12.  Crackles and rubbish pressings present and correct.

Chicago House Most Wanted

We’re Going Back is a sub label if We’re Going Deep and will be exploring US and European under the radar house and techno.

Cityboy - Dorkin - We're Going Back 001

It may not be for everybody but Dub Techno when it's done well, is up there, in the higher echelons of electronic music. You wont really get it until you hear it on a proper sound system,  it just doesn't work on a phone or laptop. You cant flick through it either.  You have to let the tracks breathe and do their thing.  Put it on loud and let it do its thing

Placid & Owain K @ We're Going Deep - 07.02.2025 MST

Finally managed to find the time to put all my driftwood 12s onto one mix.  This is my 2nd attempt..my first attempt ended abruptly when i found out that there is no warning when the battery is low and the Laptop just dies.  And no, the Audacity auto recovery did not work.

Anyhoo....a selection of my favourite driftwood releases... pitched down as it was a late night vibe

No need for a tracklist,  there was only 10 releases so fairly easy to work out whats what.  Fortunately, I had most of them before they went spiralling into orbit pricewise,

Theres at least one track on every release which is simply sublime.  The more I listen, the more i love them.

Big thanks to Eric Cloutier for his original Driftwood mix which inspired me to do this one..and to Anil..who really opened my eyes to the Jeremy / Elias 12s.

Done on 2xTechnics 1210's.  No edits, no nonsense, just records.

Placid's Driftwood Mix

This show is dedicated to Andreas Gehm.  Who very sadly is no longer with us.

Ironically it is two of his tracks which go out of time and/or stop and start something completely different which keep the mix real..  (as i like to put it)

The tracklisting comprises mainly of Acid records.

I have actually found a Tracklist - its not in order unfortunately but at least you can work though it for ID’s

We're Going TB Deep

After a brief poll, a mix of new acid came out top, so being the accommodating typee I thought I'd do one for you.

Its not all brand new, but is new to me.  It's not all pure 303, but a lot of it is. 

A good acid line still affects my brain, the same as if I'm in a club on my armchair although the volumes are probably a little different.  It always has done. It can make hairs stand on end and release endorphins that make me feel better for having listened to it.  

Armchair acid is not directed for the dancefloor, but for the 303 lovers everywhere that appreciate the squelch.

Ill do the full track listing when I get time but for starters….

Keep it acid.

Placid - Armchair Acid

This mix was originally only available on cassette as part of Chris Seddon's excellent Supine series. (well worth checkin other mixes in the series).  Now that the tapes have all been sold and as I Love acid is just around the corner it seemed a fitting time to up this.  Just going to show that our love of the 303 goes way deeper than just your usual  four to the floor numbers.. here's a selection of slower stuff...  and an occasional uptempo one thrown in for good measure...

I Love Acid Slo-mo Mix

Back in 1993, I remember standing in Fatcat and John says to me you’ll like this one...  brand new on a French label.  He then proceeded to play Acid Eiffel in it’s entirety.  As a bonus, the Soofle Ep was out at the same time so bought both. What followed was a succession of absolutely essential deep house and acid releases.  At the helm was Laurent Garner, Ludovic Navarre and DJ Deep and Didier Delesalle releasing music on a huge Multimedia stores own dance division of their record label.  The label then changed into F Comm and still managed t release some more amazing music.  I thought I’d put this together as their appears to be some very welcome re-issues on their way.  

Unfortunately, I couldn’t locate some records I wanted to add and some were just too fast but you can get a feel for the kind of stuff i used to buy and the quality that the label was putting out.

Will do Tracklist at some point but mainly consisted of Choice, Shazz, Deepside, Laurent Garnier, Aurora Borealis, Alexkid, Deep Contest, Aqua Bassino, Nuages, Soofle, LN’s, Alaska and Dave Angel

All done in one hit.  There’s a few wobbles and wobbles due to lack of Sync button.  Hope it doesnt detract from the enjoyment of the music. 

:)

We’re Going Deep presents....303 Degrees Fahrenheit - A journey into the murky world of the 303 bassline. When it’s done well, it can be absolutely deadly. Thankfully, there is still lots of great acid to be found if you are prepared to dig a bit.

This ones for all the artists, label owners and people who still love the sound.
