Discovered this in New York the day I went crate digging for that illusive speed garage record of his

It is a great thread. Great cache of not boring music

How much of this stuff's on Spotify? My gut says this is another instance of YouTube having the edge.

don't forget this guy

 

[blissblogger]

had an amazing journey through music -

"Nitro Deluxe is the moniker for respected American house producer Manny Scretching Jr.. Born Young Scretching 1/22/60 in philadelphia, Pa. He performed with a variety of funk and jazz groups including Sun Ra’s Arkestra before signing with Cutting Records
in N.Y.C. in the 1980’s."

the vocal science on this one is demented - a mix of "on a mission"



there's an even more vocally delirious mix which isn't on YouTube - i digitized it recently but not got around to putting up as a video yet

 

[blissblogger]

"king of the nubian beat"

 

[blissblogger]

this is the one that destroys me (or is the other mix? can't remember)



love the jittery use of T La Rock vocal

 

[IdleRich]

don't forget this guy

This always reminded me of Dead Eyes Opened somehow.

does anyone know the origin of that parrot (?) kind of sample you can hear around 00:42?

Anyone got any mixes of this stuff? Contemporary if possible. Suspicious of retrospective curation mixes.

You'd be surprised, pretty much all of the tunes in this thread are on there. All the TT, Frankie Bones, nu groove, strictly rhythm tunes are on there

I made a huge playlist of every nu groove tune I could find a while back - they have almost the entire back catalogue:

I love with these tunes how you can tell so much was hand played in rather than sequenced, fingers jabbing at the buttons.
