    Woke

    Fwiw one of the sources on that, that little KantBot freak, said something about podcasters getting $10k checks. In that godawful Theil biography The Contrarian, there's a mention or two of Theil handing someone a $10k check for a lunch meeting. Like, effectively it's a bribe but he just...

    Motorik

    Not sure if this has already been discussed upthread but what do we make of the chief example of ur-motorik rhythm, The Velvets "Sister Ray," being a faster rendition of The Everly Brothers "Love Hurts"? Moe Tucker's lack of chops kinda causes you to hear the motorik rhythm as a dumbed down...

    Reggae Roots in Techno?

    I impulse bought Vol. 2 of that Soul Jazz Acid House comp. Thankfully the 2nd disc is excellent, because that comic that comes with it is so godawful it's hilarious. I might scan and upload it later but man is it bad. There's really no reason to buy either comp, 'cause Tim Lawrence posted those...

    Inventing Sounds Way Ahead of Historical Schedule

    Some late additions: Another path to Acid contemporary with Phuture's King Tubby Noel Davy - Under Me Fat Thing Version (1985) (thanks @william_kent) And here's the nth proto-Eski tune in the thread (this one courtesy of Corrigan B) Jah Shacka - One Dub (1992)

    Has genre ever been anything more than a tool for segregation?

    I'm not after any tyranny. You don't seem to understand the question.

    Has genre ever been anything more than a tool for segregation?

    This is effectively how Billboard has been organizing its charts since 1942, which is in turn one of the reasons for this thread.

    Electrifying Mojo

    You guys are very kind, I'm happy to see this is of interest. If we have any classical fans in here, I'd love to hear your guesses at what pieces would fit into a Mojo set. There's a 1995 or 1996 interview with the Detroit Black Journal where Mojo mentions getting a call from a young girl who...

    Has genre ever been anything more than a tool for segregation?

    Last year I read Elijah Wald's How the Beatles Destroyed Rock 'n' Roll, and there's some information in Chapter 7 that's stuck in my mind, though I haven't re-read it. Wald mentioned that records were originally cataloged in stores according to label, and then serial number. The first aesthetic...

    Electrifying Mojo

    Dipping into the prog/jazz stuff a little more and guessing at what Mojo might have played, Mike Banks is a fan of Rush and Yes, and Jeff Mills' Final Cut was named after the Pink Floyd album according to Dan Sicko. Jean Luc Ponty was really popular in Detroit, Mike mentions them in the linked...

    Electrifying Mojo

    Mojo's been uploading lots of old clips to his youtube page if you'd like to hear more old mixes. Midnight Music on mixcloud also has a ton of pretty rare stuff, including an excerpt from a broadcast in 1977! The rest of this will get a little off track (and may be redundant for some), so bear...

    Reggae Roots in Techno?

    I was checking out the second volume of the Soul Jazz Chicago Acid & Experimental House comp 'cause Tim Lawrence's liner notes for the first were so great. Anyways, one review mentioned this: So I was wondering, does anyone here happen to have a copy of the comic that came with uh "Mysterons...

    Might well be redundant for but for @WashYourHands I've been going through DJ M-Traxxx's soundcloud page and there's a lotta WBMX stuff a fair amount of which isn't/wasn't on DHP. And just for fun here's a Farley Jackmaster Funk set ending with a slightly pitched down "No UFOs". Also if anyone...

    Gonna see if I can ID all the tracks for those funky CDs and tag 'em properly. In the meantime here's a mostly post-punk mix Regis did that was supposed to be a CD on downwards but instead wound up being hosted on FACT before it got DMCA'd. Good shit though, all Birmingham stuff. Pairs well...
