His most underrated. mental health breakdown, just 4 u london style. not quite 93 horrorcore but the pleasure principle has been exhausted. yet, we must keep moving forward...

13) Binali Selman - Erzincan karsilamasi.

Muslim roots of the blues. microtonal trance in 9/8 to send you into a post-cyborg frenzy. now imagine this being amplified across a whole town using loudspeaker technology at 3 AM - on a Sunday a town with over 70000 inhabitants and you get a feeling for how colossally huge dance music can be. EDM? do one. they ain't seen nothing yet. also proof that soul (does/did) by no means correlate to suave sophistication. more on that later...

14) Tonto Irie - Slim Belly Man

Warning: please do not neglect to bring your skeng or shank to the gym. things could get very serious.

attractive Fitness instructor boner ragga.

What i like about this one is that tabla sample on the agony riddim gives it a loping quality. coupled with the dippy basslines common to late 80s and early-mid 90s dancehall it feels like two rhythmic imperatives are fighting for dominance. Jungle also had this inescapably beguiling quality. sadly the more dancehall as a whole got made Jamaican pop music for Drake fans this vital ingredient (imo) was totally lost.

15) Zookeepers Revenge - Hold Your Head Up (dance bass 1992)

Probably one of the best constructed tracks from that year. well timed piano break with some clanging detroit/belgian stabs and the necessary skittery bassline to top it off. more bogwoppa related stuff later i think. I once asked Uncle Dugs to play this on one of his back to 92 shows on rinse. with the name dj deconstructed penis enlargement consultant (of course.) I'm not sure what was exactly going through his mind in the studio but he gave me a 28gun bad boy salute on air even though he didn't have it in the bag at the time. top lad.

16) Degrees of Motion - Do You Want it right now (Kingstreet mix)

I'm not known to ever post 'clubland classix' dance music but I have to make a huge exception for this one. at the times when garage could be in the bag of mainstream cunts like Sir MBE Peter Tong. faaaaaackin belter. screamer. reach for the roof. Yes, i want it right now. now.

And of course what is so brilliant is that the subtext here in a pop house classic is the impossibility of wanting it right now forever.

17) Imminent Starvation - Lost highway 45.

excerpting myself

there are two types of industrial aren't there? one the industrial as transgression, an image, an artworld (supposedly in opposition to the blindspots of a consumer society or conservatism - although more inverted) and the other the sonification of industry and the industrial management of daily life. I am not too bothered about shock tactics, i know democracy when push comes to shove is basically stalinism, which the subverting totalitarians don't ever seem to understand, and if they critique totalitarianism from the right it's organicism and individualism.

So, for obvious reasons I'm interested in the sonification of industry. but last night i was criticising the new dominic ferno berghain mix and some people were like well it's a tribute to the spirit of the industrial culture, which included 90s techno and rave mixtapes. except it was basically a merzbow/jk flesh/genesis p-oridge mix pretty much with one or two modern techno tracks from his mates regis and ancient methods or something. no 90s techno, and someone was like well you're attacking a strawman just to show off how much you know. but that's not it is it?


But yet, if this industrial is so anti-music, if it claims to reject the values of modern pop music or at least challenge them, then why do so many people in the more visible end of the scene adopt the exact trapping points of rockist ideology? the extraordinary individual and that. I mean I know the answer, commodification, subcultural belonging, money making, blah blah blah.

But then why? Why be into such an uneventful myopia of the canon with outdated concepts of 40 years? maybe my approach is wrong but at least I feel like the stuff I am into is more faceless, it doesn't need explaining to do, because isn't that what all transgressive shtick is? ultimately you have to explain the transgression which defeats the point of the transgression in the first place.

22) Patrice Rushen - Look Up

24) Atmosfear - Dancing in Outer Space

It's not really a jazz funk tune though is it? it's proto house with some great shuffle and a killer bassline. everything about this record screams 10 years ahead of its time, the garage cords with strings. also check the synth blurts...

lads something very sad just happened. i lost my foobar 2000 playlist that i'd been building since 2015. luckily i have my music saved in three very big folders so knowing what to add back won't be too hard. but damn, that was a handy reference.
