Col­lab­o­ra­tion between DJ Flash & King MC as Future MC’s. Known for numer­ous “mock­ery” rap-versions of famous songs such as State of Shock (Jack­sons), Bev­erly Hills Cop theme and Erotic City. They also worked together before in the Rap­pers Rapp Group.

And yeah, gonna try to get some tick­ets for Prince con­cert (Helsinki 15.10). Let’s see if it’s really gonna happen.

They’ve finally released a vinyl ver­sion of Chris Carter’s (Throb­bing Gris­tle, Chris & Cosey) sought-after “The Spaces Between” album. Orig­i­nal casette-release (1980) had 15 tracks, but to this Carter only picked his favourite six. The release also includes a bonus track
“Climb­ing”.

Note­wor­thy is also that the tracks (except Climb­ing) are orig­i­nally recorded between 1974–1978.

Dur­ing the years this was also released as “This Bru­tal House”. A cult anthem — it’s con­sid­ered being one of the defin­i­tive early house tracks. Nitro Deluxe used to per­form with a vari­ety of funk and jazz groups includ­ing Sun Ra’s Arkestra(!) before he started cre­at­ing house tracks. Lov­ing the syn­thy solo start­ing some­where around 4:04 minutes.

“House Arrest” is con­sid­ered being one of the pio­neer­ing exam­ples of British house music and it had major crossover suc­cess in the late 80s. Also a lit­tle bit about the pro­duc­ers behind this song; Mark Bry­don is prob­a­bly best known from Moloko. Robert Gor­don is some­one you should get to know as a pro­ducer. He’s acknowl­edged as one of the god­fa­thers of bleep and bass scene and he’s also a co-founder of Warp Records (though he left the label in 1991).

Even though Mor­gan says con­tem­po­rary disco edits are “really bor­ing”, these edits are not. Nico­las Jaar (Wolf + Lamb) made these reworks avail­able for free. That’s right. Head to the Wolf+Lamb site and down­load, there are other free stuff too.
