Ok i'm back from India, and stopped by in NYC on the way back (Bangalore-->Bombay-->Frankfurt-->NYC-->SFO is a hell of a ride to do without a break!). Anyways, For the past year or so I've been looking for a CD release by the group "Rockers Hi-Fi" including their album "Rockers to Rockers"... well I finally found it at this little CD shop in the E-Village (it's out on Island's "Geestreet Independent" sub-label). I'm sure y'all have heard DJ Garth or maybe Spun play this song "Rockers to Rockers" in the past with a reggae-backbeat, heavy bass, and vocals that go "bop-bop-bop-...-ba-bop-pa-day" and say "rockers" during a little breakdown. It was a heavily played track back in like 93. (Nothing like trying to describe a group's sound by text)... Now I need more sounds like this. Anybody have any more recommendations in the style of this group? A dubby Reggae influenced sound verging towards techno/house. This stuff is dancefloor suitable cuz it's about 120BPM. (Yeah, I know about jungle, I know that Meat Beat Manifesto, Renegade Soundwave, Dee Patten, and sometimes Leftfield and even the Orb sometimes go in this direction. Others? I'm particularly looking for stuff on CD (singles, albums, compilations). =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= == Niels Mayer -- http://www.eit.com/~mayer -- mayer@netcom.com == =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= -----BEGIN PGP PUBLIC KEY BLOCK----- Version: 2.6.3 mQCNAzJKOnMAAAEEAMD9U5YD2wiMJU7vUYq1uqBB9M2sf9CuOhHRM5oYTygDMQGP Ot928KtN3/2jHlYSmGHceZZYtCUdISievlNPD5+JgrHCtU3rFfvzWJuMsODGSoo1 X3csx0aEvAfkHh+fHWs04iU7Sm5t8fp31PP5DPf9KEJIsX2Y63ZBlPtktX29AAUR tCFOaWVscyBQLiBNYXllciA8bWF5ZXJAbmV0Y29tLmNvbT6JAJUDBRAySjpzdkGU +2S1fb0BAWT1BACH1GWBrkYufLb2KN5nyqB5r2TyqeqgNirOSpuQT9a4ozFAqSiM M8k+w+uj+VAMwugKdz9kL41thUCY+FI/jv4SPQzbwkY2mJs80YLJEqWA0OKUcI2F naYvMJo2zKS9jjAEX6hT5No4ZUK9hS8sREcHI2twdrJ66zExV3s6xUlSUQ== =RUx1 -----END PGP PUBLIC KEY BLOCK-----
