the spice must flow!

@mvuent has provided me with the opportunity to re-post my favourite moment from the Detroit "New Dance Show"



Eon - Spice ( 1992 )

Detroit jits to UK 'ardkore

my favourite dancer must be the guy in the cape ( on the right about two seconds in), but I feel I must have mentioned this before

the most obscure ian loveday reference i've come across was on a hobbyist electronics forum. someone mentions that his classmate in 1968 brought some kind of cobbled together electronic device to school that made weird sounds, obviously enthralling the other students. and then over the next few posts realizes that classmate went on to become the rave producer of the same name. he apparently invented some kind of proto cell phone too lol.

I was very drunk and like all drunk people all over the world I reverted to repeating myself... but, that said, it's a clip that is so good that I will post it at any opportunity that is presented

and I as i may have said, I was drunk, and I must have drunkenly ordered a copy of The Spider because it arrived in the post yesterday - I'm guessing my thought process was "better order this now while I can get a mint copy for £5 because once people see this thread then demand is going to push prices sky high..."

spiders aren't technically insects, but my train of thought wandered towards the theme of insect themed 'ardkore



The Scientist - The Bee ( 1990 - Kickin' Records )

and then crashed to a halt...

but anyway, here's my favourite insect* dance tune



Gene & Wendell - The Roach - 1961

Squish! Squash! Kill that roach!

* yeah, I know that spiders aren't insects**, but creepy crawlies, it's all the same in the end...

** oops, repeating myself, like a stupid drunk

That reminds me of a joke about records with buzzing on them, how does it go now? Some guy knows every tune with wasps on it I think, but then someone plays him a record with buzzing on it that he just can't recognize and he's confused for ages until he finally realises that they are playing the bee side... I never said it was a good joke.

I've heard a few versions of that track actually, never quite which was the original - I knew it wasn't The Monocles though.

Doubt I’d be able to find the thread again unfortunately but further eon scholarship has corroborated the story. He mentions it here:
- How did you start to make music?

When I was 12 I took apart a toy electronic organ and messed around with the circuitry until it made freaky space noises; from then on I was hooked on electronic music. In 1987 I made my first track ('Cuban Jakkin' on Baad Records) using a tape loop suspended by a coat hanger, a Roland 101 and an old drumbox.

And it also gets a mention in a book on British tape music pioneers:
Ian Loveday, born in 1954, is another of this later generation. He was active with a soldering iron as a teenager, and like Duckworth he read the hobbyist magazines in the ‘60s. In 1968, when he was just 14, Practical Electronics magazine printed Loveday’s account, with accompanying circuit diagram, of an intercom he rebuilt to generate electronic sound. In the ‘90s, he was making techno and recorded several John Peel sessions for BBC radio, thus linking the ‘60s hobbyist scene right up to contemporary electronic dance music.

I can’t find anything about the proto cell phone. The obit you posted mentions a car phone—maybe that’s what I was thinking of.
