u/aether1981

are you allowed to post 90s' techno mixes here or solo tracks only?

(track ID requests might also liven this place up a bit - i'd say those were the essence of 1992-2002 techno reality)

this one's taken from my TW's collection - if you 're into Arthur Smith aka Grain

I'd strongly recommend checking the AJ Sound releases.

this one sounds like Question vs Joey Beltram to me ;)

quite overlooked as it was released on the less popular test series of Zenit recs.

I used to love small, obscure labels and the sweet thrill of discovering non-obvious gems like this little beauty, BUT

the older I get, the more I think:
what could have happened if he got it released on M-Plant, Mosaic or some other "established" label?

might be wrong ofc, but chances are that with THIS sound he fiddled with at the time,
he might have become a techno-jet set by now ;)

as it is,
Ive only heard it played once by PLO Man, and by Marco Carola back in times when he was still ..."Himself" ;)

the B side of PF 020 is THE Luke Slater I miss the most.

this and both sides on Planetary Funk 4.

1994 Luke Slater

the reissue on Mote Evolver is not as crispy as the Input Neuron Muzique original, but playable.

and the music? as good as LS gets (or..used to get*)

Troy "Slip" Geary and his unSync bravery.

sadly underrated, and by now - pretty much... forgotten, but the records havent aged one bit.

and (to me) nobody sounded even remotely similar to his 96-97 releases.

this is an ultimate sounding 12" - once you get used to this level of s/n, punchyness and percussive grit your tolerance towards LPs is gone ;)

combination of Joel Mull & Nilesh Patel is the best advertisements a vinyl record could ever ask for, in real world only 0,1% of records can sound like this -
yes, YT is...YT, but
once you play the real thing, you'll get what Ive meant ;))

this has become a fave Surface release recently - a perfect answer to early Meta or the later Cosmic ID releases.
