doing a little idm weave using a couple of recent threads. . .
(buzzwords and american techno)
in my own little world (no affirmation necessary thank you)
the buzzword for 1994 is shaping up to be MINIMALISM. . .
Sorry Ms. DJAX,
But if J.Drukman was MY roommate, i wouldnt stop him from
smashing up your latest cd to pieces. . .that was baaaaad
but here's a peek at some very teepworthy (read: funky and syncopated)
MINIMALISM from Chicago. . .where the kids with drum machines make
techno instead of hip hop. . .and fill the floors with a shake your
butt spirit. . .instead of a move your ass out of the way attitude
UNDERGROUND TRAX UGT001
DJ FUNK - 1 STREET TRAX
Aside
1-work that big booty
2-it's overboiled (crockpot mix)
3-space invasion
4-native beats
5-digital house
6-knock knock (909 mix)
Bside
1-no way out
2-2001
3-acid warp
4-funkulater (short mix)
5-track 101
-most likely only a vynal release here. . .not really for the home-
--also of note, the tracks are "loopy". . .short dj tools. . .work!--
judging from the track names it's clear that dj funk has got a sense
of humor. . .and it's been a while since i've jumped around the dance
floor laughing. . .but i'm back. . .hahahahahaha!
as you would expect *. . .that big booty* borrows the NEVER tired
tumbling drum loop from S. Poindexters *work that. . .*
(i trust you can fill in the blanks here)
but Funk lifts this track up to a new level by tossing in extra
pop on the 4 and an old school sample "party people in the house"
*space invasion, native beats and digital house* are a trio of
minimal expansions on funky acid very similar in structure but
subtly different in the acid exploration department. . .(bakerresque)
*2001* is flat out future funk. . .an intense circle puller
*acid warp* is my favorite. . .great syncopation and effects
like having the whole gig spun at the bottom of a swimming pool
(filled with water of course! bring your snorkel;)
*track 101* has got the kind of POP that makes me wanna breakout
my techno kuts and skip work for days. . .which does happen
oh, let's not forget *the funkulator*, yes it's a spoof of the
underground goodies. . .complete with vocals but unfortunatly
missing a key ingredient. . .the perk!
enough drivel teep! strip it down to the point. . .
9/11 on the subjectometer
clearly worth the tiny tag ($5)
