been hearing about mantronix a lot in my old skool rap researching. any recommended releases, places to get releases, etc. would appreciated. look out for the return of kscr's real audio programming in a couple of weeks. catch purity control on fridays, 7-9:30 p.m. pacific time at: http://kscr.usc.edu peace, sean portnoy@scf.usc.edu cohost of purity control (yes, shameless plug!)

The later R&B (rap&bullshit, as De La called it) releases are ubiquitous look in bargain bins, good secondhand shops etc -- still interesting stuff from a production standpoint The earlier electro works (musical madness, in full effect LPs) are harder to find and will probably cost you -- when I found copies of these I was relieved to find they were only $20 a piece. 12" singles are rarer still & worth the hunt. 'who is it' is essential -- try to find the UK double-pack with 'ladies' and 'bassline' any mantronix-curious should try to listen to my realaudio show - I usually play 1 or 2 mantronix cuts each week it's now on monday mornings from 5-7 am at the following address: http://www.wxdu.duke.edu/wxdu/wxdu.ram the direct link may have changed -- if so then just patch in thru the wxdu homesite peace/out -- djxn Sean Joseph Portnoy wrote:

you may to try and track down JUST ICE- Back to the Old School Mantronix did all programming on it and this rap dude named JUST ICE swears in all his rapping that *HE* is the original human beat box (but there's little human beat box anything on this record). If you want I can send you a tape in something for return:) btw- do you attend USC? -gilly ........ºprotest protestersº............. JESUS TOLD ME TO KILL- LUKE 19:27

?!?!??! Just-Ice gets a mention on IDM!!! Surely the final days are coming =) When did this album come out? I must must must buy inmediatemente... Yeah Just-Ice also worked with BDP on another release of his from 1987, the name escapes me right now but it includes the track "Going Way Back"... all this was around 86-88, when hip-hop was finally breaking out of NYC and hitting nationwide. A lot of rappers tried to claim they were this and that, "but they're all just wick-wick wack" in the immortal words of KRS-One. MC Shan claimed hip-hop started at Queensbridge, prompting KRS-One to reply "The Bridge Is Over". Just-Ice and KRS were of the Bronx, and made sure the real story was told. These days with what the new jacks in the rave scene think about the history of the music and the parties, that they need the same kind of "education" =) ______________________________ Reply Separator _________________________________ Subject: Re: (idm) mantronix ?
