So I’ve got my regular sathurday night gig coming up next weekend and I thought it would be nice to add some oldskool tunes. I’ve already got quite a few, but I’d be interested if you guys have more you think will do the trick. I was born in '89 so I was alive at the time, but not that conscious of music yet
I’m looking for tunes in the likes of:
Faze Action – In the Trees
Fierce Ruling Diva – Rubb it In
Jaydee – Plastic Dreams
Kid Unknown – Nightmare
Phenomania – Who is Elvis
Prodigy – Charly
Tiga – Sunglasses at Night (not strictly oldskool as it’s a lot newer, but it fits in nicely)
Phuture - Acid Tracks
Genaside II - Narra Mine
Kicks Like a Mule - The Bouncer
Slo Moshun - Bells of New York
Opus III - It’s a Fine Day
System 7 - Desir
Golden Girls - Kinetic
FSoL - Papua New Guinea
Sorry for being a bit obvious, but check out Strictly Rhythm, Traxx Records, Relief Records and Downtown 161. I’m not sure if they have any digital releases, though. (I think SR have started releasing new stuff on digital and Traxx have released some old stuff?)
I was more into the American House stuff more than ‘rave’, which much of that would come under. However, this one was huge in Ibiza in 1991 and the side of ‘rave’ I liked before it got too intense
The intro of this scared the hell out of me when I first heard it, and I think it still does, lol. Devil rave music
This is quality techno, and many House heads played it. it’s such an awesome track.
I don’t think there’s anything in the same genre as Jaydee Plastic Dreams - Drum beat like no other track plus the didgeridoo thing - Nothing like it and if there is then it will just be a rip off
also if you want to get some newer stuff that sounds like the old stuff then for sure check out Z RECORDS, its Joey Negros label and everything is hot fire!!
Hey, nice recommendations everybody! About being obvious, what may be super obvious for you may be complete news for me. Remember, I wasn’t clubbing at that time. Heck, I was barely walking xD
Just searching on Youtube things like 1990 House music, etc will give you loads to search through. Then, if you find a producer/mixer/label you like search on that and it will come up with associated stuff. When I was trying to find stuff I heard in 1990/91 and had no idea what it was called or what label I ended up finding it
Josh Wink - Higher State of Conciousness
DJ Sneak - You Can’t Hide From Your Bud
anything by Armand Van Helden
ATFC - Bad Habit
Erick Morillo - Dancin (Fuzzy Hair Remix is a bit harder than the original, seems it would fit your musical style request more than the original although the original mix is great as well)
Jark rongo - Movin’ thru Your System
Hatiras - Feel It
Armand Van Helden - Entra mi Casa
Kevin Irving - House Ain’t Giving Up
CZR - Release
Jan Driver - Soulshaka
Richard Humpty Vission - Freaks
Hatiras - Spaced Invader
Green Velvet - Preacherman (really anything by Green Velvet/Cajmere, Percolator comes to mind as well)
Jeff Mills - anything
DJ Rolando - Jaguar
DJ International would probably another label worth checking out.
I’m a few years younger than you actually, it’s just the style of house that I like. You should also check out Local Talk - they are a modern label, but the records that they put out have a really nice old school touch to them.
Yeah, I know what you mean DISaS73R. I’m very much into bebop jazz and seventies rock for instance. Some of that stuff has been around longer than even my parents. I just think it’s important to dive into styles I know not that much about and expand my horizon a little.
Prodigy - Your Love
Incubus - the Spirit
The End - Rebel Song
THK - France
Last Rhythm - Last Rhythm
Gat Decor - Passion
Awesome3 - Hard Up
Xpansions - Move Your Body
Mr Monday - Future
Psychotropic - Hypnosis
Sil - Windows
Gary Gamble - Ca Sino / House Music
Sueno Latino
Masters of the universe - do you want me
Tricky Disco
A guy called Gerald - Voodoo Ray
Lil luis - French kiss
Usura - open your mind
Royal House - Can You Party
R-tyme - R-theme
Leftfield - not forgotten
