Tyree – Video Crash [CVR10]

September 12, 2023September 12, 2023 hipodromechicago, chicago house, chicago vinyl records, re-release, reissue, rockin' house, traxman, tyree, tyree cooperLeave a comment

Tyree might not get the headlines that many of his Chicago peers do but it’s hard to see why. One reason might be that he was big on hip-house, a fusion of, well, hip-hop and house that never quite fully took off and got the respect it should. Here he offers something more raw and aligned with the first wave of Chicago jack. ‘Video Crash’ is a scintillating analogue fusion with pushing synths and caustic perc. It gets even more acidic on the remix and then the Traxman Funkbomb rework ups the vocal event for pure destruction.

Transvolta – Disco Computer [RV009]

September 11, 2023September 11, 2023 hipodromedan lacksman, disco, italo-disco, random vinyl, re-release, reissue, transvoltaLeave a comment

Dan Lacksman is a Belgian electronic music pioneer who co-founded the Electro Pop Dance formation Telex and is credited for their classic ‘Moskow Diskow.’ He also worked under the Transvolta name but put out only one single, 1978’s impossibly hard-to-find classic ‘Disco Computer.’ Dan himself has carefully remastered the original for this special 12″ reissue. It’s still a retro-future sound all these years later with the signature talk box vocals and sleek drum machines under cosmic synths. On the flip is a long version of ‘You Are Disco’ which is a similar vibe but with a slightly more lively groove and vocal. Two serene dancefloor gems by any standards.

An Italian disco classic produced by one of Italy’s top disco pop entrepreneurs – Constantino Paolini – featuring the voice of Vesuvian actress and TV personality Patrizia Pellegrino. “Musica Spaziale” is a fast paced synthy disco number adorned with signorina Pellegrino’s silky smooth vocals, featuring lusty cosmic nuanced lyrics that arguably invite the listener to some form of astral bliss in the company of the blond starlet. A classic amongst collectors and specialists of the genre, made available to your record collections once again without having to sell any of your kidneys. In addition, also an extended edit, that patiently slows down the tempo but also extends this cosmic climax on the dancefloor in a manner respectful to the original masterpiece, allowing the dancers to savor every moment of this celestial voyage without all the rush of the 7″ version . Flip it and things get propelled in direction to some other acidic orbits with DJ Asshole’s tripped out downtempo 8′ intervention.

Code Industry – Structure [DE303]

July 4, 2023July 3, 2023 hipodromeantler subway, code industry, dark entries records, ebm, new beat, re-release, reissueLeave a comment

Seminal EBM-techno outfit Code Industry surfaces on Dark Entries with a reissue of their Structure EP. Detroit-based musicians Rob Myers, E.N. Sevy, Kyl Crys, and William Keith formed Code Industry in 1989 following their previous project, Code Assault. Among the few Black artists working in the idioms of EBM and industrial during their time, Code Industry tackle issues of racism, the media, and the hypocrisy of patriotism. The band’s frigid synths and menacingly whispered vocals display their affinity for European EBM acts like Front 242 and Nitzer Ebb, but their adventurous production and high- tech grooves situate their work equally within the Detroit techno continuum. The Structure EP was originally released in 1991 via the legendary Antler-Subway label.

The original Berlin dance floor trouble makers from the early 90s, Saba Komossa and Gabi Delgado’s joint project Anti-Time was a powerful soundtrack to Berlin’s nightlife after the wall came down. Merging their naive curiosity with access to latest studio equipment guided by an unmatchable instinct for what works on a dancefloor, Gabi and Saba created a sound so classic and unmistakably their own that still today it refreshes the ears. For many an established masterpiece, for others a time capsule love message from over 3 decades ago, but for everyone it’s an essential piece of European club scene history. This album combines both of the known Anti-Time releases from 1990 and 1991 into one release.
