Ivan gave an exclusive to Ripped in Glasgow - which I re-upped and gave to to you:
FYI - its mixed but single tracks (not one large mp3)
"Ivan, I don't quite know what to say apart from the fact that I am completely bowled over by this - thanks a fucking million...
I do not know what is wrong with Glasgow... Or rather, I know what is right about it: music fanaticism coupled with hard knuckled hedonism. One needs places like Glasgow, and places like here. Where knowledge never is stuck up, obsession only fair. Had heard about "Ripped in Glasgow" from the usual suspects (Jonnie Wilkes I think), it always slipped my mind to actually check it. I finally did and I saw quite a few things very close from home (Lord Sabre, German acid, a worthy mention of Wladimir M, a lost hero of mine etc...). The least I could do was putting a few things up there, for all those who care to grab.
Classics may be classics, they still change all the time. Here are ten that kind of stick to the back of my box, lost or not, all quite personal, avoiding the obvious ones. I hope they'll do justice to this gritty haven.
In no particular order...
Annette-Dream 17 (Derrick May remix)-Deconstruction
"North-The Sound of Dance Underground" was the first house record I bought. This is from the remix 12" that came out a bit later. My fave Derrick May remix (yes, Dee-Lite's Wild Times came close)...
Zeus-Cowboys on the Beach (extended)- original version: Aladin
Zeus B. Held also produced all the Gina X stuff. Great great album. This is an extended version that you will not find anywhere because...
Delkom-Superjack Infusion One (instrumental)-Wau/Mr Modo
If Zeus was pretty cool, my german producer uber god is Conny Plank. He did not do this, but you feel how much Gaby Delgado was under the influence...
Logic System-Crash (Kaos edit)-original Version: EMI
Two major influences in the beginning: The Lone Swordsman and nu-beat. Here's this Boccacio hit (proving how pushed the limits were). Edit by Kaos...
Robert Hood-Minus (Combo edit)
I sometimes find "classics" playlist a bit too respectful. This is not. And it's from 2009. It turns Hood's frantic hypnotic techno grinder into a 105 bpm almost krautrock monster. One of my track of this year...
Melody Boy 2000-Sound Stealer-Monotone Musique
Electroclash before it even was. From that period, if there was only one... Maybe this...
Asja Auf Capri-Contre Temps-Difficult Fun
One brilliant album about 6 years ago. Then vanished. Lost indeed...
Aaron Carl-Homoerotic (Detroit Mix Show ext)
Here, I had to put something Weatherall related, Rather than my fave AW remix (MBV's Soon-not very original), this is a track that definitely reminds me of him...
Dark Day-No, Nothing, Never-Lus/unlust
And my hat off to Stirmonster. I did not know this incredible 1980 track (and brilliant album) until fairly recently. Sums up what I like about electronics and rock n'roll...
Sex Attac-Eteronout-White Label
You know those records... The white label you've had for years but no nothing about? Sometimes nice to leave it like that... "
