SØLID SESSIONS VOL. 4

Ghetto•Funky•Tribal•Groove•Hard•Techno   


        

Where do I begin building my playlist with such an incredible amount of music and sub genres of techno available. 
What an amazing time to be alive. 
First playlist had 255 tracks so got split 3 ways;       Firstly groove, ghetto, samba and tribal, second much harder, edgier and deeper hard groove, third much older techno/ trance production I became immersed in on the dance floor way back and lastly hardcore,breakbeat and jungle from around 1993.
There’s so much more to find and add.
Such a joy to hear so many amazing tracks again and add them to playlists ready to learn how to mix finally.
It’s going to be an endless journey and very rewarding. I’d do it for a living if asked to.

I’m not a DJ, producer or artist but a lover of many sub genres of techno and dancing to it and started the journey way back in 1993 with hardcore breakbeat then jungle. 
Now into hard, melodic, groovy, breakbeat, tribal, ghetto techno with minimal breaks: 
Hard groove / Hardgroove - the ultimate genre and it just keeps getting better and better. 

Now the owner 2 turntables and a 4 a channel stand alone mixer 33 years after my first rave way back in 1993 at Desire, Roller Express and still have the flyer.  With so much amazing music available and the inspiration from so many superb artists and DJ’s it will be an amazing experience.
See you on a dance floor just make sure to keep up 🔊


Techno
Hardgroove techno is a sub-genre of techno that dates back to the 90's. The genre emphasizes rhythm and groove, featuring syncopated, funky beats and prominent, bouncy basslines. It stands out with its dynamic, percussive elements and energetic, danceable aggressive vibe. Often incorporating melodic or atmospheric touches, hardgroove techno blends influences from funk, breakbeat, and tribal music, creating a distinctive sound that's both rhythmically complex and highly engaging on the dancefloor.

Fast Times is the musical alter ago of Jorge Day, a Brooklynite with a taste for slick, bass heavy rhythms and spaced out synths. 

Jorge's musical CV includes synth duties in Wierd Records mope-pop act Plastic Flowers as well as production for sultry neo-wavers Lingerie, but when left to his own devices he crafts dance floor ready beats under the Fast Times flag. Fast Times’ debut LP Bodytalk dropped with the purveyors of basement lux grooves over at LA imprint 100% Silk in 2013 with Gorilla vs. Bear noting the warm, analog vintage vibes. There's a starkness and crunch to these tracks that skews them more towards the proto-house vibe of various mid-80's analog sides, when productions were more about raw rhythms and melodic minimalism, instead of the prolonged tension-and-release model which dominates to this day. 

History aside, Fast Times creates a tripped out skeletal synthesis of numerous styles, including house and bass.
