could you imagine 1989, this blasting on your radio, driving around Chicago trying to score before the big party on Saturday.

There is also an Acid Wash remix on Chicago's Underground Construction label from 1995. The '89 release does in fact exist, it's just extremely rare.

JUST IN TIME FOR A 2022 MINIMIX

Tranquility Bass was the stage name of Michael Adam Kandel,(1967/1968 – May 17, 2015) an American musician whose music has been variously categorized as ambient house, trip hop, and funk rock. He released various singles during the 1990s, followed by his first full-length album, Let The Freak Flag Fly, in 1997 on Astralwerks.

Kandel was born and raised in Chicago. He learned to play guitar and keyboards at age 12. By the age of 15 he had begun to record experimental electronic music in his bedroom.

Kandel attended the Chicago Academy for the Arts, after which he moved to Los Angeles in the early 1990s to attend CalArts. It was there that he met Tom Chasteen, with whom he started the Exist Dance label in 1991 The two released several singles, including some as Tranquility Bass, later that year. In 1993, Kandel released the single "They Came in Peace", which has been described as an ambient-house classic and appeared on the Mo' Wax compilation album Headz the following year.[4] After the duo released this and a few other singles, including two songs that appeared on the FFRR compilation album, California Dreaming in 1994, Chasteen left Tranquility Bass and relocated to Tucson.[6] Tranquility Bass's touring bassist, Matt Lux, is also the bassist for Chicago-based band Isotope 217.

In 1994, after Chasteen's departure, Kandel joined Tyler Vlaovich to record an album on Lopez Island in Washington.[8] More than two years later, the album was released as Let the Freak Flag Fly on Astralwerks Records. Kandel sometimes ceased talking to people, or from using his voice, for two or three days on end during the recording process.[8] According to Billboard, the album led to Kandel developing "a cult following that spans several genres beyond the dance realm." The Los Angeles Times gave the album a rating of three stars (out of four) and described it as "the electronic progeny of acid rock." IIt was also reviewed favorably by Greg Kot, who described it as "a grand journey through nearly a century of recorded music, a densely layered montage of electronic manipulations and live instruments made under conditions that were certainly unusual."[11] The album contained the song "We All Want To Be Free", made more popular by its airplay on MTV's Amp.

Heartbreaks & Hallelujahs[edit]
After a long hiatus from studio recording and rumors of drug abuse, Kandel returned in 2012 with a sophomore effort entitled Heartbreaks & Hallelujahs. The album was completed on March 21, 2002. Kandel reportedly tried to have the album released on multiple labels, only to have each of them fold after he sent it to them. The album ended up being released on Exist Dance, although it is readily available in digital format on Amazon MP3 and iTunes. The album is mostly new material with the exception of yet another remix of an early days single, "Mike's House". Kandel seemed to try to get away from the idea of being an electronic musician (although some of the album still has electronics), with a dose of various types of rock such as funk rock and surf rock.

Hello? Is This Thing On? (Thomas N’ Eric’s Rub and Tug Throwdown)

CK303's tribute mix to the father of Daft Punk's Thomas Bangalter. http://ow.ly/l2S7a

CK303's deep investigation into Daft Punk's influences led him to discover the music of Thomas Bangalter's father, Daniel Bangalter. Under the name Daniel Vangarde, the D.I.S.C.O. legend worked with the likes of Sheila B. Devotion, The Gibson Brothers, was sampled by Erykah Badu, wrote for Banarama and released under several monikers in France. Working with fellow writer and producer Jean Kluger as the Yamasuki Singers in 1971, they released cult album, Le Monde Fabuleux Des Yamasuki, as a pseudo-Japanese concept album of pop songs. The song "Aieaoa" on the album was later recorded, as "Aie a Mwana" by Bananarama, eventually becoming the first UK hit for them. He also worked extensively with 1980s act, La Compagnie Créole and was known for maing pop records with experimental tendencies such as left-field instrumental sections and incorporation of world music influences.

Tähtien Suojaan Toistensa Maa

Tähtien Suojaan Toistensa Maa (Original Version)

This track is believed to be an unreleased Soulwax production sneaked into "Jack In The Box", their mix of old school Chicago House records from Radio Soulwax project.
"Ess & Dee" most probably stands for Stephen and David [Dewaele]. Cover image is based upon Housetime Records label design, and there's no release with "HT 1009" as catalogue number, even though C. Chudzik and B. Revo are real people.

Ess & Dee (Soulwax?) - A.C.I.D Washed

Another supposed Soulwax production - this time from their "Celestial Voyage Pt. 2 (The Pink Galaxy)" mix of Radio Soulwax series.

Available clues:
- There is no artist called Mission Control with "Surfing Through The Asteroids / Wait For Me" single on "Mi-pi" label
- If you pitch this track down, you'll clearly hear that one of the voices belongs to David Dewaele
