GeneratioNext⏩ - The Dolphin Album Pack

A month behind on my end of summer themed batch for my Patreon ‘Reactor Mode’ supporters but will be shipped next week finally. Was real fun making this one out of my Fluid / Depth (a literal dolphin DAW for PS1) stream from last year. Not pictured: a bonus EP for the two longish tracks that couldn’t fit onto 1 CD. Next release will be sent in December which is usually PS1 themed month for me so probably be based around that... anyway, thanks @ the current and future patrons! [full video album] [patreon]

Disco Kandi 2 (2000)

[my-chaos-radio]

Release: November 20, 2000

Lyrics:

Think you gotta keep me iced? You don't

Think I'm gonna spend your cash? I won't

Even if you were broke, my love don't cost a thing

Think I wanna drive your Benz? I don't

If I wanna floss, I got my own

Even if you were broke, my love don't cost a thing

When you rolled up in the Escalade

Saw that dub you gave to the valet

Knew that it was game when you looked at me

Pulling up your sleeve so I could see the Rolley bling

Saw you later in the corner booth

Raising up a toast so I would notice you

But your heart's a mess, think you oughta know

Doesn't matter if you're balling out of control

All that matters is

That you treat me right

Give me all the things I need

That money can't buy, yeah

Think you gotta keep me iced? You don't

Think I'm gonna spend your cash? I won't

Even if you were broke, my love don't cost a thing

Think I wanna drive your Benz? I don't (ooh)

If I wanna floss, I got my own

Even if you were broke, my love don't cost a thing

When I took a chance, thought you'd understand

Baby, credit cards aren't romance

Still, you're tryna buy what's already yours

What I need from is not available in stores

Seen a side of you that I really feel

Doing way too much, never keep it real

If it doesn't change, gotta hit the road

Now I'm leaving, where's my keys? I've got to go

All that matters is

That you treat me right

Give me all the things I need

That money can't buy, yeah

Think you gotta keep me iced? You don't

Think I'm gonna spend your cash? I won't (baby)

Even if you were broke, my love don't cost a thing (love don't cost a thing)

Think I wanna drive your Benz? I don't

If I wanna floss, I got my own

Even if you were broke, my love don't cost a thing

Love don't cost a thing, a thing, a thing

Yeah-yeah, yeah

You think the money that you make

Can substitute the time you take

To get the keys into my heart

Then you can win my heart, and get what's in my heart (don't cost a thing)

I think you need to take some time

To show me that your love is true (ooh)

There's more than dollar signs in you

Then you can win my heart, and get what's in my heart

Think you gotta keep me iced? You don't

Think I'm gonna spend your cash? I won't

Even if you were broke, my love don't cost a thing

Think I wanna drive your Benz? I don't

If I wanna floss, I got my own

Even if you were broke, my love don't cost a thing

Think you gotta keep me iced? You don't

Think I'm gonna spend your cash? I won't

Even if you were broke, my love don't cost a thing

Think I wanna drive your Benz? I don't

If I wanna floss, I got my own

Even if you were broke, my love don't cost a thing

Songwriter:

Think you gotta keep me iced? You don't

Think I'm gonna spend your cash? I won't

Even if you were broke, my love don't cost a thing

Think I wanna drive your Benz? I don't

If I wanna floss, I got my own

Even if you were broke, my love don't cost a thing

FANTASMAS EN LA DISCOTHEQUE, PT. 1

En el disco “Dime precioso” de Álex Anwandter una pista de baile se abre, una bola de disco baja del techo, el estéreo suena a todo dar, pero algo falla, una cinta suena desperfecta, la conexión eléctrica falla. La música que ambienta la fiesta ochentera tiene la cinta gastada de tanto tocar el cassette. Es una fiesta espectral, no pasada, no futura, tan presente como el instante que existe y se va inmediatamente, como el segundo que acaba de pasar. La voz que abre “Perdido” es la de un fantasma que tiñe de negro las luces de neón de la disco, y su letra, amenaza con caer en la oscuridad para siempre, arruinando la fiesta para siempre. La voz oscurecida y la distorsión del sonido perturban ese sonido ochentero pulcro que ha dominado las listas de éxito anglo contemporáneas.

En “París, tal vez”, Álex busca a un amante que se fue, lo evoca, no tiene idea de su paradero, como el momento parece perdido en el tiempo. Un fantasma de lujuria que traspasa y se confunde con el instrumental, inubicable, inrastreable. Existe algo siniestro en esta recapitulación del pasado, en esas postales retro que parecen darles la razón a los fetichistas de la nostalgia; pero ¿cómo puede alguien que no vivió la época, advertir sobre los peligros de remontarse ciegamente a los momentos muertos? Hay un efecto específico de ralentización al final de “Tu nueva obsesión” y al principio de “QTDE” que captura esta idea perfectamente: el momento se siente glitcheado, perturbado, y, sin embargo, bailamos y cantamos.

Su disco anterior “El diablo en el cuerpo” conjura una fantasía similar, un synthpop ochentero con más refinaciones técnicas que su sucesor, un sentido del ritmo más fijo y controlado. Pero los espectros ya están presentes: en “Pueblo fantasma” Álex evoca el vacío emocional del rechazo por el círculo familiar, un desierto antes florido por amor. Pero el pueblo fantasma es también el tiempo en que ocurrió esta revolución musical y cultural, la pista de baile a la que entramos es un eco, una repetición de las que cuatro décadas atrás poblaban las ciudades. El futuro de una vida juntos, tan imaginable como invisible, no-presente, impenetrable, atrapado entre la desesperanza y el optimismo, y en un punto medio, el letargo, la depresión.

Temáticamente, Álex también abandona las postales brillantes ochenteras a su propia manera; en “No me molesta”, el brillo del éxito o la cúspide es rechazado, lo importante es la diversión y lo auténtico. El deseo por lo humano es el foco, “Ave del campo” y “Gaucho”, emociones exaltadas y genuina pasión. Pero también los fantasmas del pasado tienen sentimientos humanos, susurran o gritan por comprensión, amor, entendimiento. Las fotos en que están atrapados pueden ser contestadas desde el futuro, evocar imágenes y transportarse a los sonidos de entonces para completar el ritual, romper la maldición y arreglar los errores de la línea temporal.

Today's compilation:

Hed Kandi: Disco Kandi 2000 House / Garage House / Nu-Disco

Good God, what a terrific pair of discs here from the ever-consistent dance comp label Hed Kandi. With this first ever installment in their Disco Kandi series, the UK outfit supplies a steady stream of ephemeral house bangers from the late 90s and 2000, with a lot of the selections sounding contemporary, but also managing to channel an invigorating old-school disco spirit too. And many of these glitz-glammy, high-quality productions also collectively continue to progress from the sonic tradition that first started in famed New York DJ Larry Levan's Paradise Garage nightclub in the late 70s, where he nurtured a more vocally soulful and R&B-rooted house sound into the late 80s that would come to be known simply as 'garage.' And after the Paradise Garage's closure, that garage sound would find popularity at a club in New Jersey called Zanzibar too, where Tony Humphries would continue to spin it.

Now, despite a few of these tracks having somewhat remarkably high YouTube play counts, all of them were and still are definitely underground; that is, except for one. And this particular tune that I'm referring to wasn't just mainstream, but it really managed to lace the hell out of a lot of US contemporary hit radio stations back in the late 90s, even though it only ended up peaking at #52 on the Billboard Hot 100, overall. Basically, if you tuned into your local pop or more dance-oriented station on anything close to a regular basis back then, there's almost no way that you could've avoided one-off supertrio Stars on 54's cover of Gordon Lightfoot's 1970 soft folk-rock classic, "If You Could Read My Mind," which saw Amber, Jocelyn Enriquez, and Ultra Naté teaming up to record a song for the soundtrack to the disco period flick, 54. Really classic radio gold right there that a lot of people probably haven't thought about in a long while.

And then just as you're finished reminiscing on whatever fond memories you might hold that are associated with that particular song, quite possibly the most impressive track of all within this two-disc set ends up directly following it: the Matthew Roberts and Richard Fite remix of Eclipse's "Makes Me Love You." This one has a big, sun-shining pool party vibe to it, as it combines lustrous disco strings, funkily plucked guitar, a fuzzy-thick corrugated bassline, and piano keys, all while employing a lovely filter technique, which is that really popular thing that house musicians got to doing around this time period, in which certain elements sound distant and submerged, and as they continuously loop, keep sounding closer and clearer, until they satisfyingly breach the surface and hit their glorious peak. And that's maybe my favorite type of house music in the whole world 😊.

So, a really enjoyable way to spend over two and a half hours here, with a hefty dose of  super sleek house tunes, a lot of which are on a nu-disco and garage tip. And it was collected by the always seemingly on point Hed Kandi label too, which has never steered me wrong before!
