Oh, and whatever number Floyd Cramer's Revenge was? Can you tell me some more about the other 12"s Frictional 2 is awesome there is a great track by Claude Young called Changing Factors

just happy coincidence that you were > listening to it while writing that message? Yes, I knew Da Sampla was Shake. I know there is a Shake track on the "From Beyond Vol 4 (Interdimensional Transmissions). Can anyone list other labels he might be on? _________________________________________________________ DO YOU YAHOO!? Get your free @yahoo.com address at http://mail.yahoo.com

Don't forget, he also had a hand producing Octave One's classic track "I Believe". Shake is a guy who toiled in undeserved obscurity for years -- he did lots of uncredited production and engineering work on all kinds of records on KMS, Transmat, Metroplex and UR. He's also a _very_ exciting DJ, if you ever get a chance to see him spin out. He was a huge _direct_ influence on Claude Young -- Shake was Claude's DJ "instructor" in his early years. -d.w.

Thanks for the info. I just bought that Eleven Phases comp., where the Detroit techno artists do hip hop. It was a pretty good compilation. Again I would have to say that Shake's track was one of the best. Sean Deason's track was very good as well. The Shake track said that it had been been previously released on KMS. Does he have a few singles on KMS? I am going to try and get the rest of the Frictional releases, if they are all still in print. Shake's track on the True People comp is really good as well. I have still have to pick this comp up. Interestingly enough, the Juan Atkins track on that comp was almost jungle. The beats sounded like they were slowed down d n b type beats.

The Claude Young DJ Kicks is great!!! For some of those Idmers that are a little hesitant in buying drum n bass, check out the DJ Krust - True Stories 12". It's pretty mellow...nice sounds. It's too chilled out for the dancefloor. Exocet - Demon Seed is another track worth checking out. Cheers _________________________________________________________ DO YOU YAHOO!?

***More Shake: "The Life Of A Planet Raider" (from Various--"True People: The Detroit Techno Album" on React/1996), "Sandblaster" (from Various--"Detroit: Beyond The Third Wave" on Astralwerks/1996), "March Into Darkness" and "Happy To Be Here" (from a split 12" w/ Claude Young; it's the first Frictional release, actually, from 1995); Shake cowrote "I Believe" with the Burdens, a classic recorded in 1989 and still getting appreciated. Lawrence Burden talks about the recording of "I Believe", not being paid for it, and lots more in a recent Octave One interview (go to http://www.globalserve.net/~cognition and click on "Octave One"). The RA is a 20 min excerpt from a 60 min interview done a couple of weeks back. A long feature will be going up on the Cognition Audioworks website this week that goes into more detail on "I Believe" and the early Octave One/430 West days. Thanks.
