I was supposed to have a guest mix for this week. last night when I still hadn't got it I figured I should probably record something in case I didn't get the other mix by tonight after work. Good thing I did!
Tracklist
01 - Vladislav Delay "Second" Force Inc 200 [met@music 3LP / 2000]
I'm not a fan of Vladislav, not one bit. In fact I think this is the only track of his I even own. I have this one because of the fantastic compilation it's on. Met@music is chock full of great tracks - including this one by Delay that I like more than his other stuff. I think my favorite on the Compilation is a Sutekh track called "Short Change". It's got the funk.

02 - Brian Aneurysm "The End Of Logic (Carsten Feitz &Tobias Schmitt Remix)" Iron Box Music 17.5 [The End Of Logic Remixes / 2006]
I bought this record because of a typo in it's description. it said Tobias Schmidt where I bought it..Lured into listening via a typo and snagged by a decent chunky minimal track with some "Beverly Hills Cop Snares" as I call them. Listen to the theme song for the movie and you may understand.

03 - Phlokker "Hot-Chaud-Caldo" HorSpielMusik 48 [A Night At The Pussy Galore Volume 2 / 2005]
Phlokker AKA Quick & Smart AKA Volker Wiegand = The Man. If you don't own any of his records you should be publicly shamed. His Live-Sets are pure gold as well. I don't know how new this new moniker of Volker's is, but I do believe it's the first track he's released under it. I've heard 3-4 others and it's all in the same vein, maybe even a bit more loungey. Great listens that also make your toes tap right through your socks.

04 - Beckett & Taylor "Hand On The Plow (Caro Mix)" Hand On The Plow 03 [(Hired New Hands) / 2006]
This is my first Hand On The plow record and by the sounds of it not my last. I'm glad I caught on early in their release schedule. That means I didn't miss out on much. This track is pure BOMB. It makes me squeal in delight like a little sissy boy. I recall some fist pumping in full effect last time I played it out too. The other two track on this EP aren't quit so in your face, but they definitely have the edge it takes to keep the record in a bag for more than a few weeks.

05 - Subhead "Weirdly Whistling (In The Park)" Subhead 01 [Weirdly Whistling / 1996]
Subhead say what? It took me a few years to even discover what this record was. I ended up with a promo of it from an ebay auctions years ago. It wasn't until a long time later that someone id'd it for me. Now I know. Great tune, this one is. I first heard it played by a New York Dj by the name of JaeSun and still wonder why I've not heard it elsewhere.

06 - Julia Decay "Your Eyes Only" Scandinavia NYC 04 [Invent Your Traditions / 1997]
Cristian Vogel's Ep on Scandinavia...I believe there is some back story to this one. To get the dirt though you'll have to head over to Neil Landstrumm's historical archive of all things Scandinavia.

07 - Marco Carola "Transmissions" Question 10 [Question 10 / 2002]
this is probably the worst of all the Questions. There are some downright Quo Vadis inspired gems on the label, but this LP doesn't have any of them. This one track does seem to get itself played now and then though. Not quite sure why I like it and I think I'll keep it that way. Too much thought about music distracts you from the actual music I think.

08 - Hardfloor "Bodymove" !K7 68 [Jack The Box LP / 1998]
Mid 90's Toronto raves with Terry Mullan flashing before my eyes. Old Hardfloor. Does it get any better? This is acid. Not that crap coming out now. Some raw kit, bleeps and vox. All you need.

09 - Adam X "Retrospection" Sonic Groove 9815 [Reverse Forward / 1998]
I think I got someone to ID a song on this record for me. Cut from an old Neil Landstrumm Dj Set no doubt. The track I had ID'd ended up not being the best on the record by far.

10 - Kikoman "Hemispheric" Rhumba Muzik 02 [R2 / 2002]
I met this Marvin character online once, he seemed to know a lot about the same music I liked and then he mentioned he was just starting a new label...Marvin turned out to be Kikoman I ended up grabbing all his new Rhumba's from him and he was kind enough to fill in the few release I didn't have from the Contact and Deepfried days. Word Brother! Updated sound and better production. Still..nothing quite beats those old Contact records!

11 - Stewart Walker "Nailbiting Conclusion" Tresor 212 [Tresor Compilation Volume 12: Illumination / 2004]
Nothing really pops into my mind with regards to this track. Maybe I haven't had it long enough to build any warm and fuzzy memories with it. Mmmmm warm.

12 - Dynamix II "Sedona" Monotone 03 [Pledge Your Allegiance To Electro Funk / 2002]
Classic track...this one got some play because a certain guy I know apparently really likes it and I just found out. So I tossed it into the mix. The name of the track really irritates me. it ALWAYS make me think of the song "My Sharona"...Kinks? The Knack? I forget...Myyyyy Sedona!

13 - COD "In The Bottle" Golden Dance Classics [Club Classics 17 / 2001]
Some rapid fire kicks, snares and 80's synth stabs. Did I forget the zaps? Probably. Fun little number retrieved with the aid of the way back machine. I just recently found this on a compilation. I can at least play it for others now instead of snapping my fingers to it while I listen to the mp3 on my iRiver. "Hey man, wanna sahre my earbuds?" doesn't fly with many people.

14 - Denard Henry "Crosswalk" Cipher 06 [Daywalkers Volume 1 / 2000]
Denard. When I found out about this guy I dug up almost everything he;d done and bought it. Going back thorugh it I'm not quite sure why now. Some of it didn't age so well. Boring? Yeah a little bit, I remember liking it's infectious nature. He had some pretty cool beats they just didn't really change up much. This was the last record of his I bought. he still doing anything? Maybe it's time to look back into him.

15 - Dj Dexter "B.T.F.W. (Paul Langley Jack Mix)" Pro-Jex 11 [B.T.F.W. Remixes / 1999]
So cheese, so bad. Yet I've played this retarded record so many damn times.It's like rubbernecking at the scene of an accident. You just can't help it! Bang Them Fucking Walls!!!

16 - Adrian Forciniti "Untitled" Syra 03 [Syramerica! / 2006]
One of the VERY few good acid records that has come out lately. I've got some of Adrian's older stuff, but it's mostly jerkin and jackin drum tracks. This Ep is a big step up for him. I highly recommend!

17 - Qwerty "Concrete Acid (303 Mix)" Rotten Row 04 [Concrete Acid / 2006]
This track and the flipside come and go on me. Some days I love them and some days I just toss it down. It is a good record, I'm just being fickle or something. Probably some correlation between my aching foot arches and my like for this record. The Flipside actually has some 303 work by Ed DMX I think...I could pick up the record and check. Just as easily as you could click the discog's link ;)
