Ask yourself... Can you dance to my beat?

[gvox]

Today is finally the day.

I totally forgot what the example used in this thread was, too, but, coincidentally, I went straight to Virgo. Can't speak highly enough about this record.

As you already know I'm basically of the old Chicago house is the only house school - even tho of course we know it's not..

But ChIcago house remains #1 for me. I have an extensive collection of vinyl that I've been collecting for 25 years or so. I hope you listen to a lot more of it and enjoy!

I'm just going right down the RYM chart, so I'm sure I'll run into some snags here or there, but this is just one of those things I've been meaning to do for years and never got around to.

Listening to this, now:

It's actually a little bit more R&B so far, but I'm reading that the second half is where it's at, so we'll see.

Meant to add..I posted at least those last four tracks in that link you posted, much earlier in this thread..they are classics. We had a club here back in the 80s called The Twilight Zone, and every year there is a reunion, and they usually try to book a nostalgia act. Couple years ago it was Robert Owens, who's voice you'll here on tunes like Bring Down The Walls etc. He's still got it.

Awesome, thanks, I'll go back and check those out.

Went to lunch at the halfway point of Another Side, since it's basically a double album. Back at it now. It's even more R&B than I was expecting, but it's so good, I don't care.

 

[gvox]

Chicago house is basically the natural progression spawning out of the black (and gay) disco scene, so it's for sure rnb-heavy. It's soul music for the feet. I was hooked when i first heard it there's so much joy liberation soul love lament you name it all wrapped up into one.

Yeah that second half is essential. Once your done the last song check out it's remix with MLK's I Have A Dream speech overlaid...hearing that brings the chills every time..takes me back..way back

I had Can You Feel It in a version of my DI list. What a time it would have been to be alive.

You have no idea. I imagine I must be pretty fucking annoying gushing on and on about it but I can truly say I feel lucky to have been a teenager/young adult then. Just a crazy heady whirlwind of a time.

Now all we do is complain on message boards and stalk a fat man after his bicycle accident.

Yeah what the fuck has happened to me lmao

I need to go out to a classic jam this holiday..get even a piece of that feeling of being in the zone at 5am totally immersed in the music. The world doesn't even exist outside that poorly lit room it's just you and the groove

Want to throw some light on Joe Goddard. Best known as the deeper of the two singers of Hot Chip, he's also put out the best work of all the Hot Chip side projects.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vVzR-qciA58

I haven't heard all of it, but some of the stuff I love:

From the Gabriel EP

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1XtEFMP3-hA

Downtempo, great sad bastard vocals and lyrics, also from the Gabriel EP

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dXpQ1H-txY0

From the Taking Over EP, more good towntempo

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BqyBd8UQ-s4

And he put out another great EP this year, Endless Love

Cobbler et al...true to my word I did end up stepping out for a lil jacking and grooving over the holidays

Alright, after a bit of end of the year nonsense getting in my way, I'm back for more fun over here. Listening to some Tyree, right now. The DJ E-Z Rock is strong with this one.

Jamie xx Details In Colour, Shares "Loud Places" Video | News | Pitchfork

 

[nielsgov]

Loud Places is a great single. Took me a while to figure out it was Romy from The xx singing.

Yeah I'm thinking that would be a nice direction for the XX proper to go in.

 

[cobl04]

I vastly prefer everything Jamie XX has done to anything the actual XX have come out with.

[nielsgov]

I've never listened to anything by the Chemical Brothers but I've just started Dig Your Own Hole bcause of this news and the fact that I have a chance of seeing them live this summer. Doing my best to not cobbler it.

 

[cobl04]

After initially being underwhelmed, the new Jamie XX is growing on me pretty quickly.

 

[cobl04]

DJ Koze just released a DJ Kicks, and it's really lovely.

 

[cobl04]

There is a William Shatner remix on this thing.

 

[u2popmofo]

I finally heard his new song today.

 

[cobl04]

It's very good, too. Trying to find a digital release for it.
