Ravey New York dance music - late 80s-early 90s

[line b]

mvuent was the only one to acknowledge my excellent frankie bones track

 

[mvuent]

frankie bones used to be really active on the discogs forums, there's a funny thread where he copy and pastes some magazine's Top 100 Most Game Changing Dance Tracks or whatever but gets called for slipping one of his own tracks in when it wasn't on the actual list.

mvuent was the only one to acknowledge my excellent frankie bones track

he sent me a message saying he didnt really like it but he felt so bad seeing you hanging with no likes like that

this is NYC right? the vocal's the source for that awful speedy j track. always gets me when a sample gets used a billion times yet the person responsible remains basically anonymous.




it only fully gets going in the second half. wonder if the melody that comes in at 7:50, which also appears in mental overdrive - 12000 AD also originates w/ this track?

this mix is good too, similar territory to 808 state - magical dream:

do really like how it comes in in the realm but honestly 12000 AD is the better track

This one is amazing as well. Beltram's breakbeat tracks are his best I reckon. And where have I heard those synth stabs before? They sound so familiar.

B.G. the Prince of Rap - Take Control of the Party (Joey Beltram's Sinister Dub)

was out the other night in a place (paragon) with two rooms and literally everyone was crammed into the second room with a shitty soundsystem watching sam binga play ice rink, flowdan a capellas and d&b btb with someone called bianca oblivion who played tunes of some genre i don't know the name of, while joey beltram played to about five people in the bigger room with lights and lasers. must be really annoying

92


91 (Todd Terry, and does that "got me burnin up up up up" thing)

bianca oblivion seems fun af from checking her soundcloud
does she play favela funk these days or what?
I would imagine beltram plays slower (as in less adhd switchups) than the zoomer style djing so popular thes days

i think favela funk sounds about right. stuff that sounded south american and carribean, with these sort of snappy brittle beats.

really schizo set. there'd be like a d double e tune, then some of this favela funk or whatever you call it, then a dizzee tune, then some d&b, then about two bars of a prodigy tune, then some US hiphop and so on and so on. the adhd switchup thing was really apparant, nothing settled in. reminded me of old grime mixes which were the first time i heard that way of mixing where nothing stays on for more than two minutes.

thought it was class. my mates were talking about how techically good the mixing apparently was.

testimonials to the life-changing power of musto & bones about three minutes in

Just realised that I've known this Beltram tune since I was 10, it was a track on one of the first cassette compilations I ever bought with my own money called Essential Hardcore.

Program 2 - The Omen (Psycho Mix)

Here's Program 2 (by themselves) that I really rate (more minimal and deeper, but I think it holds up better):


a few more NY 92






there are also some Mills and Hell remixes of the Pulzar tune (the video states 93, but it's wrong - I have a promo test press from 92 with the promo insert sheet with the details)

 

[0bleak]

forgot to mention that all of those I posted above except for the Radiation and DX-13 tracks were on the same Vortex label owned by the infamous "Lord" Michael Caruso that owned Limelight

 

[0bleak]

producer that was never talked about as much - admittedly, could be a bit dodgy so pick your poison

 

[0bleak]

~4:30 a.m. back when everyone was more hardcore

 

[DLaurent]

Not that it really matters, I think I prefer early to mid 80s. I sound like one of those guys that think Manchester died around the same time too.

I couldn't fault you for that being that electro was my first obsession.

I've got more into the Larry Levan stuff. The kind of tunes that have people commenting 84 KING ST!!!!
