A morning spent listening to Paul Simon’s Graceland reminded me of this tune that I haven’t listened to in probably over a decade. A very simple track but one that truly proves that less is more…
A total classic piece of ‘91 breakbeat hardcore here from the seminal Shut Up & Dance Label. I’ve already spilled my heart about these guys in a Ragga Twins post. I’ve never worked out whether Cedric Winkleburger is just another alias for PJ & Smiley or whether it was a legitimate artist but the track sounds very similar to other SUAD productions of the time.
An absolute corker of a tune, I could listen to this all day
Boris is a bunch of noisy Japanese types who, as far as I can make out, seem to skip across a variety of musical styles from the trippy to downright weird. Some people may have heard their collaborations with Sunn O))), masters of the drone & bass, which are well worth a look in if you’re into that kinda thing.
Here’s Farewell, one of their more accessible tracks (and I use that in fairly loose terms), taken from the album Pink on the awesome Southern Lord label.
I wanted to put the original version (strictly speaking, the Peter D mix) up but it’s nowhere to be seen on YouTube. This will do fine instead as it’s the far more dancefloor friendly version. Some of you may have heard this before but I’m guessing it’s not too well known a track. Totally wicked stuff with much amen chopping from the Bristol boys when they could do no wrong in the mid nineties
