Sweet dreams

the first few seconds of this flashed me back to tackhead sound system



CRACKHEAD IN THE AREA

YOU GROW UP FAST
YOU GROW UP MEAN

IN MY LIFE
AND IN MY DREAMS
I HEAR YOU LAUGH
AND I HEAR YOU SCREAM

"as hip hop is to arithmetic, tackhead is to algebra "

 

[Benny Bunter]

Tackheads too harsh for me

 

[william_kent]

'supreme mathematics'

 

[Benny Bunter]

Basically anything top buzz was playing was great.

 

[Benny Bunter]

Probably already been posted but whatever

I HATE Tack head/ on u sound

 

[Benny Bunter]

It's like they're deliberately trying to annoy you.

 

[Benny Bunter]

Funny joke but I don't want to actually hear jt

It's like they're deliberately trying to annoy you.

they were the Sugarhill gang rhythm section!

the backing band on "rapper's delight"!

the roots of hip hop!

HOTEL MOTEL HOLIDAY INN!

MY NAME IS LARRY AND I'M A SCORPIO!

what's not to love?

DJ CHEESE'S TACKHEAD MIX is perhaps the best spaced out ELECTRO BREAKS with ORCHESTRAL STABS mix EVER



DJ CHEESE - KING OF THE BEAT

what's not to love?

 

[Benny Bunter]

Sorry kent but but it's like tackhead go out of their way to find the most annoying frequencies possible on the wavelength and then turn them up to full, it's sadistic!

 

[william_kent]

no problem!

I'm expecting 0bleak and third to chip in now about how both of us are lightweights and how tackhead is just marshmallow bubblegum pop and what is the fuss about, "girly" baby beats, etc...

 

[0bleak]

It's funny though because, even though I might be known as a person with tastes that lean towards "noisy beats", other people have posted stuff, at least once or twice, that I found too much.
I don't remember if it was because it was too "noisy" per se in a conventional way, but something about it was hurting my ears. I think possibly over compressed or something like that.

Gregory Isaacs - Corn a go bust

cool ruler rides rough digital rhythm

I might have mentioned that one of my hobbies is to select a random pile of Xterminator 7 inches and play them while Xtremely drunk

 

[Murphy]

Morales remix, sounds of the summertime

 

[Murphy]

Did a search for Orbital and outside of Belfast nothing shows

Hard to articulate and a tad cliched to try and describe such tunes with drugs in mind, but, epitome of a dove record if that makes any sense. Two copies to maximise reprises of the softer elements in the first half ..

[Murphy]

Sweet Exorcist b-side secret weapon, bleep signature intact but far more going on percussively, a loose lassoing lolloping gate bridging dark and light

 

[Murphy]

Aware previous Frequencies picks are laced throughout, more for the extended intro and its knack for drawing up memories of car missions (again) trying to find afterparty addresses surrounded by The Big Smoke’s gleaming skylines. Loved the album art of stick figure minimalism against polished Sheffield-Warp black
