I'm intrigued to knowing what type of music genre they all listen to, but we all know alcina likes jazz. But other than jazz, does she likes something else? 👀

Also, what type of music does Miranda even listen to? OMMGGG???

Miranda has two things she listens to. Publicly she listens to classical and like world recognized musicians. In private she listens to 80s-90s pop and yes I'm sorry to tell you she listens to Taylor Swift

She actually really likes Linkin Park

Donna likes listening to Michael Buble and Christina Perri too, people with soft voices that can be calming and as previously mentioned Mitski and Alt Rock

Cinder

for bela, she likes classical because she uses it to help her study, but she likes to a lot of angrier classical music like Dance of the Knights by Prokofiev

cassandra listens to a lot of musicals (heathers candy store is her number one song….for reasons, but she also likes cell block tango from chicago)

daniela likes listening to indie rock, old school rock, lo-fi for calmer moments when she wants to relax, but mostly she'll listen to everything, even angie's awful dj mixes

angie likes music that gets her hyper- think edm, house, rave, techno, pop music or remixes of popular songs. she hates classical because she thinks it's boring, and she also hates slow songs

alcina is mainly jazz, but she does on the occasion indulge in some swing and is surprised to find she doesn't mind electro swing but would never admit this to anyone or be caught dead listening to it

Today's compilation:

DJ-Kicks - The Tracks by Stacey Pullen 1996 Techno / Deep House

Allow me to make one thing very clear here before diving into this release: this is *not,* I repeat, *not* the DJ mix version of Detroit techno legend Stacey Pullen's terrific volume in !K7's super consistent DJ-Kicks series. What this is instead is the double-12-inch version of it, which is markedly different. See, sometimes when labels put out a DJ mix on CD or cassette, they also release a different edition of it on vinyl too, and those ones usually come with fuller-length, unmixed versions of tracks that appear within the DJ mix itself.

Now, I have mixed feelings about this particular release here; on one hand, there is some really great mid-90s techno and deep house on this thing, and if you loved any tracks on the DJ mix version of the album, then, with this vinyl edition, you'd have the fuller-length, unmixed versions of its songs. But on another hand, this particular vinyl release is only limited to being a double-12-inch, so you couldn't possibly fit longer versions of every single song that was used in the DJ mix itself onto two records; electronic tunes are generally way too long for you to be able to do that.

So, given that constraining factor, I really don't think that the 7 songs that were ultimately chosen for this vinyl edition are really all that fully representative of the true nature of Stacey Pullen's very excellent DJ mix. Basically, if you've never heard this dispatch from the DJ-Kicks series before, don't bother listening to this double-12-inch to get your fill of it; go listen to the actual DJ mix instead; it's spectacular.

Still though, all of this isn't to say that there aren't bangers on these two records here, because there definitely are; especially the last two tracks: Kenny Larkin's "Q" and "Funk de Fino" by Gypsy. It's just that the actual DJ mix has a whole lot more bangers on it than this release does.

Kenny Larkin's "Q" does this wonderful techno thing of laying down placid string pads and then eventually unleashing intermittently disruptive bunches of stabbing and galloping snares atop it, while also allowing a thin and fuzzy membrane of liquid acid to fester between it all too. In fact, speaking of galloping rhythms, Chicago house pioneer Marshall Jefferson uses a pretty similar formula to that one on a great techno track of his own called "The Horse" too, which was released a few years after "Q." I wonder if he drew any inspiration from Kenny Larkin for it! 🤔

And Gypsy's "Funk de Fino" is a terrifically deep hybrid of chilly ambient techno and dubby progressive trance. This tranquil and pleasing beast only gets a little over 2 minutes in Pullen's mix, but here, in its full-length state, it takes up an entire side of a record, clocking in at over 13 and a half minutes instead! Sweet, sweet, steady journey here to close out this particular release. One of the pros of this vinyl edition of the album is that you get to hear this awesome tune in its entirety 😌.

But nevertheless, trust me, folks: while this has some quality electronic music on it, the actual DJ mix of Stacey Pullen's DJ-Kicks is still leaps and bounds better.

Highlights:

Silent Phase - "Psychotic Funk" Gerd - "Arkest's Blaze" Wulf-N-Bear - "Raptures of the Deep" Kenny Larkin - "Q" Gypsy - "Funk de Fino"

The Chicago House Scene

How House Music was Born

I recently became a fan of house music and always wondered how it was created. After doing further research I stumbled upon a video called "How House Music Was Born" it was one of the most informational and interesting videos I have watched and talked about how the House music scene in Chicago started.

As disco started to lose its cultural hegemony in the late 1970s and early 1980s, house music's history began. This created a gap that Chicago DJs immediately filled by incorporating funk, soul, and the electronic sounds coming out of Europe. One DJ, Frankie Knuckles, who is frequently referred to as the "Godfather of House," began experimenting with synthesizers and drum machines in the Warehouse, a club located on the west side of the city. He created a new genre that quickly became known as "house" music thanks to his inventive mixing and catchy compositions, which also drew a devoted fan base. It originated as a new version of music for dancing and partying. It emerged during one of the darkest times in the US which was the great depression. The rise in house music was drastic and people would line up outside of clubs just to hear house music for the first time. No one has ever head of this type of music before. Frankie Knuckles a notorious DJ who performed at the warehouse was one of the most popular DJ's for house music at the time.

It was considered as the "coolest underground dance music." They also referred it to a "sound scape". Frankie Knuckles brought in a whole new style of music. Eventually people began to rebel against disco music because they said considered for "Blacks or Gays". On July 12, 1979 There was a night called Disco Demolition Night during an MLB game which resulted in a riot.

Disco sparked a major backlash among the Rock fans at the time. At the climax of the event disco records were being blown up and fans stormed the field in an effort to end disco music. Eventually there was a rise in popularity of house Dj's in Chicago and it all originated from Freddie knuckles. They started learning how to sample music and how to play a smooth DJ set as well as transitioning between songs. Without a question, Chicago has had a lasting impression on the world of music. The city has created an atmosphere that allows house music to flourish, change, and expand its audience, thanks to the contributions of musicians like Frankie Knuckles, Marshall Jefferson, and DJ Pierre as well as current DJs and producers. Chicago's status as the birthplace of house music is still honored and cherished in light of the genre's worldwide renaissance and the emergence of a new generation of house fans and musicians. This was the underground music before underground music was a thing. After doing all this research I think the history behind how House music was made and the House scene is so interesting because of how popular it is today, that it once used to be considered underground and frowned upon. House music provides a beat and soul unlike any other for anyone seeking to experience the real essence of house music. Every dance floor is a haven for those who share a passion for the groove, every beat tells a tale, and every track is a journey. House music is more than simply a genre in the city where it all started; it's a way of life. Here are some of my favorite house songs at this moment.

A-T-4 147 Cut Ups & Megamixes

No posts for a while because I've not been well (plus I fell down a rabbit hole writing a long read, hopefully that'll be done by the end of the year!)

1984 was a great year for Cut Ups and Megamixes building on the work of pioneer DJs like Shep Pettibone and his radio show on Kiss FM, Chuck Chillout and Red Alert also on Kiss, the Latin Rascals on WKTU, Marley Marl on WBLS's Mr Magic's Rap Attack. Outside New York carving their own path Hot Mix 5 and Steve "Silk" Hurley are killing it on Chicago radio station WBMX. In Florida the crew Jam Pony Express have begun playing live shows

In the UK Sanny-X is DMC's megamixer and Street Sounds Electro series are being mixed by Herbie Laidley, better known as Mastermind Herbie, the man behind The Rapologists

This is post Double Dee & Steinski, Malcom McLaren And The World’s Famous Supreme Team, Art Of Noise, and Herbie Hancock's Rockit. You can clearly hear their influence in the cut ups and mega mixes from this year

Getting mixed is Hip Hop, Electro, Synth Pop, Disco, and Italo

(Orig.) Big Apple Production Vol.II - Genius At Work like many of these bootleg megamixes the people involved stay in the shadows. This one is of course the work of the Latin Rascals doing what they did on their radio show

DJ Chuck Chillout - Hip Hop On Wax Vol. I for Vincent Davis's Vintertainment. Chuck Chillout was in The B Boys who had released the cut up track Cuttin Herbie (literally cutting up Rockit) the year before. They also released two other classics in 1983 imo Rock The House and Two, Three, Break. Chillout would return to Two, Three, Break under the name DJ Born Supreme Allah in 1985 with the more explicit cut up Two, Three, Break (Part II - The Sequel)

DJ Red Alert - Hip Hop On Wax Vol. II Red Alert goes berserk on the follow-up to Chuck Chillout's effort - he even cuts in what sounds like The B Boys. Sorry this is the best Youtube clip I can find. Red Alert is a DJ for the disgraced hip hop architect Afrika Bambaataa's Universal Zulu Nation and in 1983 he joined Kiss FM's Master Mix Party, which was originally Shep Pettibone's spot on Kiss. Tony Humphries was the first to take the ropes from the increasingly busy Pettibone and in 1983 Red Alert would alternate with Humphries

D.ST - Megamix II: Why Is It Fresh? The Grand Mixer who provided the scratching on Herbie Hancock's Rockit. I thought I knew what Megamix II was a sequel of but now I'm not so sure. Anyway D.ST brings together his hits along with half a dozen other Celluloid tracks

Z Rock Records - Scratch Party #2 first of three mixes coming from the West Coast. Z Rock Records released three Scratch Party megamixes in 1984. Who knows who put these together

Ian Darby - Break City 7" edit bonkers record by Bobby Orlando who had been trying his hand at hip hop/electro/Art Of Noise style production. There's a longer 12" version but the 7" is tidier. Not really cut up, certainly not a megamix, but I felt it sat alright on this list because of it's nutball samples

Scratchmatic - Sound Of The Street by DJ Antron who Discogs tells me won the first DJ Battle held in Los Angeles at the famous Radiotron event. It shows a preference for the techno style

New York Scratch Masters - Scratchmasters Jam #1 the Italo the mix begins with is more like what Hot Mix 5 were doing in Chicago but not as good. Jam #1 would be followed by three more in 1984 and the final Jam #5 in 85. Jam # 4 (The Rap) is pretty great

Mix-Trix #3 The Break Mixer the first Mix-Trix 12" was released in 1983 with another three coming in 1984. Apart from it coming out of LA I have no info on these

Marley Marl on Mr Magic's Rap Attack in 1984

The Death Beats and Charley Young presents: Energy

Drumwave Mix

It's a original combination between 80's vibe mix with new electronic style.

The Death Beats join forces with acclaimed Synthwave artists Cassetter and Color Theory, alongside singer / songwriter Charley Young, to lay down a chaotic and dystopian fusion of Darksynth, Jungle, and Techno, set to a foundation of UK DnB.

Unearthly synth tones forge an immersive musical landscape, building towards a crescendo of driving rhythms, hefty bass lines, and rhythmic arpeggios as the track switches effortlessly between genres and styles.

Color Theory’s unsettling harmonies parallel a barrage of hostile vocal hooks from Charley Young, adding an antagonistic dimension as their performances cut through the powerful instrumentation, further fueling the chaos and disorder.

BIO:

Bass Music producer Gary J Robinson lays down an intense mix of Drum & Bass, Dubstep, Future Bass, House and Synthwave as he slips between his studios in the UK and Mexico. Best described as an unstable cocktail of dark cinematic grandeur and retro fuelled synth tones, The Death Beats music strikes a balance between ominous atmospherics, sweeping melodies and all out dance-floor chaos.

Emerging from the Drum & Bass scene of the late nineties, Gary started out by collaborating with a number of game changing producers including Drumsound & Simon Bassline Smith, Spirit and Total Science. His early releases went on to gain the support of heavy-weight DJs such as Fabio, Goldie and Grooverider.

The Death Beats sees Gary draw on inspiration from every corner of the Dance Music world in order to create his signature sound. Along the way he’s been lucky enough to collaborate with a host of legendary artists including Crystal Clear, Doctor P, Eric Martin, Yah Kid K and pioneering UK Folk duo Harbottle & Jonas.

Arizona based songwriter Alisse Garn, whose vocal talents under the guise of Little Panda have also played an important role in defining The Death Beats sound. ‘Streets of Rage’, their collaboration with Mexican Drum & Bass producer Isaac Maya was released on Jessica Audiffred’s A-Records label too much acclaim and is generally considered to be the first Synthwave Drum & Bass anthem.

In addition to rocking airwaves and dance floors Gary’s music is regularly featured in film and TV, with credits in movies such as Eliminators, How Bruce Lee Changed The World, Playmobil The Movie, Timefreak, Tracers and Venom – Let There Be Carnage, as well as TV shows including Beauty & The Beast, Chicago Fire, Madame Secretary, Shameless and The Magicians. His portfolio also includes a number of popular reality shows such as Keeping up with the Kardashians, Life of Kylie and Selling Sunset.

The Death Beats continue to lay down a dynamic selection of upfront electronic music in the style of artists including Dimension, Diskord, Nero, Sub Focus and The Prodigy.

Odd Genre Time: Warehouse Music

Have some LGBTQ+ history I ran into on a wiki dive. Warehouse or "House" music was invented by a gay Chicago DJ. Frankie Knuckles' mixes of Salsoul and early Electronic music from Europe were the beat of Chicago in 1984. He played at "The Warehouse", a predominantly black, gay dance club. Look this man up because he's a founding father for what we know DJing to be today. By 1985 the "Hot Mix Five" had a hit radio show that highlighted this new sound. These were now 5 DJs that also began making long, continuous mixes that brought all parts of the world into their arrangements. With a popular radio show further standardizing this futuristic sound, more DJs joined in until it was foolish to spin anything else. In the United States, this is the nucleus of what we now recognize as Dance Music in a modern club setting. Bedroom producers who liked this sound hit their local pawn shops for cheap synthesizers.* Some people working in the area's record stores at the time recall a whole section set aside for "Tracks Heard at the Warehouse." It was tempting and profitable to make demo tapes in your bedroom because if you got played at the Warehouse you might get a record deal... So emerged this sound of Chicago gay culture. House music is gay and intersectional, spread the word. If my video above and the history behind it sound like your speed, check out: ---------------------------------------------- Larry Heard - Imagine a neon-lit gay club with this on the speakers. It's so 80's. Warehouse is often described as "textural" and this track absolutely nails it in that regard: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1N9Wnqz8Rh8 Frankie Knuckles - He was handed a drum machine by a friend who said people are making their own tracks now. Given the chance now to make his own Trax, he chose this. A tune that makes you say "This isn't house music, this is just gay sex." The song's lyrics seem to imply there's a religion-play thing going on, it's VERY gay... Let's just say don't blast this on the work speakers. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2EtEPT3DvdM PHUTURE - The story about "They didn't know how to use the TB-303s at all, and they still cranked out jams with it." is apparently true and it's about these guys. Self described "Outsiders" they wanted to try making some Warehouse music. A Dj finally gave them a spin at another huge club and found that it played better to crowds later in the night who are on more drugs or just plain drunker. The beginning of Acid House. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=igNBeo3QSqc -- *None of the synthesizers they used are cheap anymore :(

As we celebrate Black Music Month and LGBT Pride Month, let us pay tribute to the pioneers and trailblazers who gifted the world with the infectious beats of house music. As house music is experiencing a resurgence in the mainstream, it's important to remember where house began -- decades ago in Black queer clubs. Over the years, house music continues to evolve, thrive, and inspire new generations, carrying on the legacy of its roots while pushing boundaries and breaking down barriers.

So, whether you're on a crowded dance floor, grooving in your living room, or listening on your phone, take a moment to appreciate the magic of house, a testament to the enduring spirit of Black musical innovation and a soundtrack for liberation, love, and unity.

DJ MikeQDJ MikeQ was immersed in the ballroom scene in NYC's tri-state area, where vogueing and ballroom battles took center stage. The Newark, New Jersey native DJ'ed at various ballroom events and clubs, eventually becoming the main DJ for HBO Max's hit series Legendary. MikeQ became one of the first house DJs on a major television series. In addition to his DJing prowess, MikeQ founded Qween Beat Productions, a record label that released music rooted in ballroom and vogue culture. No one slays a beat like DJ MikeQ and the people who came before him -- like DJ Frankie Knuckles and DJ Larry Levan -- would certainly be proud. Listen to a MikeQ set from 2022 above.

DJ Paulie PaulPhilly's own DJ Paulie Paul has been spinning for over three decades -- he is the sound of house in the City of Brotherly Love. Originally from North Philly, Paul developed a cult following as a DJ at the legendary Nile house club in the 1990s, including the late-great DJ Donald Stone and another music master gone too soon, DJ George. Known for his seamless mixing and ability to respond to the crowd's energy, Paul crafts unforgettable experiences on the dance floor. From vogue beats to tribal rhythms, if you are in Philadelphia, be sure to catch a DJ Paulie Paul set. In the meantime, listen above. 

DJ Larry LevanIn the 1970s and 1980s, DJ Larry Levan's residency at the Paradise Garage, a legendary nightclub in Manhattan, became an iconic hub for house music enthusiasts. Levan's musical sensibilities extended beyond the DJ booth. He was also an accomplished producer, remixing tracks for artists such as Grace Jones, Inner Life, and Gwen Guthrie, infusing their music with his distinctive touch. Larry Levan's impact on the house music genre cannot be overstated. Though he left this world in 1992 at only 38 years old, his legacy is forever etched in the annals of dance music history. Listen to a vintage mix from 1979.

DJ Ron HardyDJ Ron Hardy is a true pioneer of the Chicago house sound. His distinct style, unyielding passion for music, allowed him to connect to house heads and shape the evolution of house music worldwide. Ron Hardy's name remains synonymous with  the relentless pursuit of sonic exploration that defines the spirit of house music. He passed away in 1992 at 33 years old. Listen to a classic mix from 1986 above.

DJ Frankie KnucklesBorn in 1959, the pioneering DJ began his career spinning soul, disco, and R&B music at clubs in New York City. He relocated to Chicago and was soon coined the Godfather of House.  In 1997, Frankie Knuckles won a Grammy in the Remixer of the Year, Non-Classical category, and in 2004 a street in Chicago was renamed Frankie Knuckles Way. The following year, Knuckles was inducted into the Dance Music Hall of Fame. He passed away in 2014 at 59 years old but his legacy in house music is immortal. Knuckles mastered the resilience, creativity, and cultural significance that this genre represents. Listen to his set from  2013 above. Happy Pride and happy Black Music Month!
