also in the path of a hurricane for the rest of the day so I should probably switch gears to get myself ready

pass the sick bucket
out to my fellow bottom line records possee

@WashYourHands mad it took sasha and digweed 9 years to catch up to this with their 'dark tribal prog fodder'

going through tunes to play in a mix to my group, which seems to be full of unfunky germans and shouty Amrikan punks, and this must go in there.



Madness for 1991, just sheer madness.

Works is nuts

You could do a Bottom Line mix and have a ton of options

For the uninitiated

Profile:House, Deep House Label from New York.

Bottom Line Records owner Edward Goltsman started his music education at the age of 6 in Moscow Russia and continued it in the USA at Berklee College of Music. In the 80s he worked as a professional keyboard player in NY with funk, jazz, gospel and top 40 bands. At that time he also started producing records. The first few singles that he produced were hip-hop and gospel, but after he was introduced to NY dance club scene, he started writing and producing house music with successful releases on labels like Emergency, Atlantic, Select, Mic Mac, Jump Street, Supertronics, Quark, Sutra and others. At the same time he started DJing and doing guest appearances at some of the major clubs all over NY City. In 1990 Edward Goltsman started his own label, Bottom Line Records, that quickly became a household name among the lovers of Garage House. He became very popular as a producer/DJ around the world, particularly in the United Kingdom. There were 78 releases on Bottom Line Records of which Ed produced about 60. He's licensed the tracks all over the world to labels like: ZYX, Kicking, Moonshine Music, Street Beat, Esoteric, React, Meldac (Japan), Shock (Australia), General Overseas (South Africa), Pschent, Delabel (France) and many others.

In 1993 Edward Goltsman moved Bottom Line to Florida and in November 96, started a new label, U-Turn Records that specializes in Electro, Funky breaks and Progressive Breaks and House. There were 18 releases on U-Turn Records up to date two of them are full length CDs, Electronica, Vol.1 (mixed by Ed The Red) and "United We Funk" released in March, 2000. These days he spins mostly breaks, progressive house and classic Garage House.

it is still weird to me to think about how the things i like listening to can shift so much from week to week. this kind of thing is totally doing it for me right now. it's almost not music, there's so little going on. almost sounds like it's intended to be a building block for something else. but that absolutely non-flashy minimal basic beat is the only thing i want to put on this week. there's something insistent but calm about it. have a feeling though that it will work for right now and then i'll never touch it or remember it again

can’t miss a Bottom Line prompt

they released surreal mind-melting sonic variations underpinned by 4/4 as you posted but they could also rock the post-ascendant plateau varietal of 4/4 too .. Jerzzey Boy, Sample Minded (Ed the Red), so many of their releases still punch

2 examples of plateauing pleasure, the first .. my god it’s still full of stars when its harmonies get flowing, second is a DiY favourite so I associate it with the Dales/south Pennines and systems cranking it right up outdoors on a Sunday afternoon in the sun (you could dedicate an entire thread to Sunday afternoon 4/4 greatness), has everything the ants in your pants itching up a beat through to the ultimate keyboard solo

hallelujah

tracks that slide in and out of so many releases listed here


just add MK dubs, all that beefy distilled Mood II Swing wonder up until 95ish and everything solid about Jersey

if it didn’t have the legs it would’ve been forgotten by now

A DiY favourite in the years preceding the millennium, you could blend these two well, insane discography overall




Mateo & Matos were/are a heavyweight combo and as consistent a duo as any double act have been in this realm. Think they get overlooked slightly due to mid/late 90’s weighting of releases trajectory. They were listen on sight, if that makes sense, wading through piles of store recommendations and digging around all the way through to M&M releases on Glasgow Underground circa 20+ years ago

They always remind(ed) me a lot of Mood II Swing and maybe 95 North more because of parties where their records almost picked themselves, mixing back II back and in blocks with small groups of mates - similar rich use of chords, no ott gospel elements which can ruin tunes so Yellorange and Basement Boys vocal mixes were regularly saved by b-side dubs, as examples

King St you could do a thread on, add Strictly, Easy St, through to Guidance, Ferox and Peacefrog. Huge hauls of records with just this lot, rosters of the ages

…good to hear, deepest track on the 12”, would also blend with…



nice disco on the flip:



m&m are a pick-on-sight name in the bins for sure, nice range to their stuff as well
 

who is he? i love him!

You used to call me on my cellphone 🥺🥺😔😔💃🏻💃



what are your guys thoughts on this band? i feel compelled to love them but at the same time idk, it feels derivative in some weird way, like if sam smith was trying to emulate nina simone

Yes, it's an affected voice. I can cope with his contributions to the first Hercules & Love Affair LP because that was a good album, but I don't think I'll check out any more. It's like how I just can't get past David Tibet's voice to give Current 93 a fair listen.

funny you should say that, Antony features on more than one apocalyptic folk tune by C93....
