Choon of the Day, redux

I think New Beat does have more funk than trance tho, even with kicks being four-the-floor, because of the various basslines.
Kind of similar to how disco can still be funky even with a repetitive kick.

Oh yeah for sure. the stuff I really like is on the tail end of it, lhasa, dilemma, mckenzie, trance trax etc.

where it shades into pure techno.

Heard Helena Hauff open with this about 10 years ago.

So the UK then made that sound nuttier which is where i connect with and then can look back




UK remix of nyc, huge subterranean gear, no mucking about!

That Naz is insane.
Apparently Jimmy Crash became a Jesus freak which is what happened to him, I guess.

A lot of this sounds more influenced by the Belgian hardcore sound that came a few years after new beat.

have you heard the b-side to the one he did dred - quantum leap? mad unmastered portamento synth abuse 1991 hardcore techno. even heavier than a lot of gabba which came later, this one is for @dilbert1!


one of my favourite tunes of all time, and really don't want it to be reissued in good quality.

yeah that's correct.

nu beat is more like slow EBM, which is why I haven't done a deep dive.

Things like italo, ebm, etc weren't that big in London but specialist sound, We were more into black american rnb/boogie and hip hop. the belgian stuff
came through the techno sound.

It's one of those tunes that I wouldn't have known what it was if I did actually hear it played back in the day (plus maybe having eaten a tab or two).
it's mad though! definitely would have rave thrashed to that!

this sort of thing is our proto-techno, which is probably why london has always had a strong house/garage scene.







Weirdly, or perhaps not so, electro in this country became part of the dance subculture rather than rap.

looking at the number of US sellers of that quantum leap tune on Discogs, I'm guessing I would have heard it

Rockit was the biggest of those over here.
Caned on MTV... found in some surbarban mom+dad collections next to their carpenters records

it's still a tune. better than most italo imo.

Although this end of italo is pretty great

no argument here
it's one of the tunes that, back in the day, made me wish i had the motor skills to breakdance

As far as I was concerned, it took only a few seconds to put one of the nails in the coffin of one of the biggest dancing phenomenons.
