It all begins with Manuel Gottsching and his 1984 electronic masterpiece called E2-E4. Many consider this 60 minute piece to be one of the first electronic dance tracks. You'll hear many of the detroit legends attribute Manuel's E2-E4 as a big influence. In fact, E2-E4 still sound quite fresh even today. Several years later an Italian act called Sueno Latino decided to remake E2-E4 into a much dancier house track. Sueno Latino's remake called "Sueno Latino" went on to become one of house's first "hits." There were a host of remixes released on Italy's DFC and Belgium's Buzz label including some by Carl Craig and Derrick May. Recently there was a new set of remixes released on the Distinctive UK label which include the classic Craig & May remixes. Carl then used healthy bits of E2-E4 for his 1994 Paperclip People classic "Remake" which was released on Planet E and Open UK. Carl then had Basic Channel remix his "Remake" track. I believe several other IDM acts have sampled Gottsching's E2-E4. Future Sound of London and Bukem are two that come to mind. E2-E4 related must haves: . Maneul Gottsching: E2-E4 CD (Racket Records) . Sueno Latino: The Dream Remixes 12" (DFC) . Sueno Latino: Derrick May remixes CD/12" (Buzz) . Sueno Latino: 1997 remixes CD/2x12" (Avex) . Paperclip People: Remake 12" (Planet E) . Paperclip People: Throw 12" (Planet E) I would highly recommend getting any/all of the above releases. -->-Lance--- p.o. box 450715 westlake, ohio 44145 united states
