RAWHAUS

Hardcore Deep House™-trademark-sound from 1996! Found two copies of this months ago...

A new mix I recorded yesterday.

Just found this rare and obscure record at a record fair in Münster, Germany. The track title says it all, 100% House power! Mr. Wayne Gardiner on the buttons...

I hate to post tracks that have those cheap ass crude photo-slide-show video up on Youtube. But this time there is no other way and this Jordan Fields track is too dope - so enjoy this sweet cut!

Dance Mania

A peaceful and mellow track on the Time EP that I have just recieved. Julien Jabre on his peak of his productions back in 1999. Click ‘start’ and enjoy the ride...

One of the best Dance Mania EPs imo. I usually play this a bit pitched down, sounds better I think. Funny enough the vocal samples of this track come from an episode of “The Simpson” called “Life On The Fast Lane”. Listen here: http://download.lardlad.com/sounds/season1/bowling5.mp3

GU - Slam'en Mutha's (Relief Records, 1994) Dark one by Mr. Glenn Underground on Cajmere's Relief Records.

A WORD FROM PAUL SIMPSON:  Vibe Vertigo, recorded at Gamble & Huff's "Studio 309" (Philadelphia), was originally penned as "Two" which was to be the title song for my second and follow up album to "One" (Chrysalis Records-1990). "Paul Simpson" as the artist meant that I had the freedom to invite numerous guests, which caused the album projects to run over budget, leaving me unable to complete not only the unfinished recordings, but also without the means to mix them. I then created "LP&S" (Love, Peace & Soul) whereby I took some of the instrumental tracks from the album and remixed them as 12" singles. "Two" now entitled "Vibe Vertigo" and the B-side "Play Away" both feature my long-time friend, Vincent Montana, Jr. as lead man on his Heavy, Heavy VIBES! "Vibe Vertigo" String Session (1990) Produced by Paul Simpson for LP&S on Cutting Traxx String Arrangement & Vibraharp Solo by Vincent Montana, Jr. Recorded at Studio 309, Philadelphia, PA Engineered by Jim Gallagher A behind the scenes view of Vincent Montana, Jr. conducting strings at the recording session of "Vibe Vertigo" and in the mixing booth with Paul Simpson & Jim Gallagher while they replay the track with the vibes included.  As VMJ says "You don't get a synthesizer to play that sh*t".  Just for fun he asks the engineer to play it back with ALL the string tracks together -- just to see "the confusion".

Super jazzy track from Bristol, UK. British House music on Kongcrete Records way before the beginning of UK Garage!

Finally something new from Nate "Nathaniel X" Tinsley. It's a tribute to John Robinson and Dave Camacho and has that same vibe we know from his releases on Music Station back in 1994 and on My Love Is Underground in 2010. EP called "Excavation EP" is out now!

I'm into uplifting tracks lately, so here is another one - a true Jazz-N-Groove classic from 1996 under their Urban Blues Project moniker.

Jazzy production by Daniel "DBX" Bell on his own label Elevate. Sometimes a killer track doesn't need much. Maybe just a good sample loop, in this case it is Herbie Hancock's "Actual Proof".

Kool Rock Steady (R.I.P.) X Fast Eddie X Brian Harden X Roy Davis Jr.

Jamerson ‎- Got To Give It Up (Agent X Mix) (Happy Records, 1992) Had to upload this piano bomb to Youtube after I found it has not been uploaded there yet. People went nuts when I dropped this last time in Cologne back in January. To sum up: Derrick Jamerson on the original production, Mike "Agent X" Clark on the remix, Yolanda on the vocals (not included in this particular mix).

"HOLD ME, FEEL ME, KISS ME, TOUCH ME"

"FREEDOM, THAT'S WHAT LIFE'S ABOUT"
