Future Afro Sounds of DJ Enne

Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket


In the Beppe Loda interview conducted by Tropical Jeremy Campbell, he mentions an austrian artist named DJ Enne who had an afro inspired release on Compost. So I sourced it out and here you go. New productions in an afro/cosmic vibe. I can't recommend Jeremy's interview enough. Peace and Happy Friday.

Enne's bio

1982 while clubbing at the garda lake area DJ ENNE was hit by the afro-funky-cosmic disco sound and started his DJ career in his hometown Innsbruck/Austria as the first resident at the legendary Galaxy Club, foundet in autumn 1983. The music at the Galaxy was similar like the Cosmic and Typhoon Discotheque, a mixture of: jazz, funk, fusion, german electronics, dub, disco & brazilian stuff.

DJ Doug 'Drrty' Gomez - Bump & Hustle

Alright people, here is a banger of a mix from my NY connection DJ Doug 'Drrty' Gomez, this mix exudes NY sophistication with its uptempo funky disco and classic house grooves. I first met Doug through the DJH forum and we had traded some music and kept in touch since then.

Doug is also a great producer with partner DJ Drilla under their DrrtyHaze moniker (releases on Gomma and Tirk (album in the works). This very busy man also runs the drrtynewyork site. You can find all manner of musical mayhem by Doug and selects guests, including me. With all of Doug's mixes the mixing is superb (DJ's still mix?), yeah this one does and also knows how to rock the spot. Peace!

Mr. Keyz comes correct with another installment of his Crosstown Freebeards. . . series. This time he slants it towards a more bearded Balearock vibe which I absolutely love. Along the way he touches on some nice dubby disco to great affect. Great work from our man at South Africa's Another Night on Earth blog

First saw this movie about three months ago. For some reason I had always passed it up. I was blown away by the synth heavy soundtrack which my wife ended up getting me for my b-day (cool chick, huh?). This post is also dedicated to all the new peeps I have been meeting in LA.
So here are three tracks from it.

Wang Chung - Every Big City
Wang Chung - Lullaby

DJ Mooner - Digital Cowboy (Talking in Stereo Exclusive)

Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket

DJ Mooner - Digital Cowboy #1

Beamed from the nether regions of space comes the exclusive mix for Talking in Stereo from Germany's DJ Mooner. Knowing all things cosmic this guys delivers a fuzzed out slo-mo excursion into leftfield disco-not-disco sounds. Moooner is the cultivater and curator of the Elaste compilation (Compost Records) and of the Discoteca Cosmic site.

Here are his favorite Cosmic tunes with great commentary:

Cosmic vinyls between cult and Uber-embarassing

1./DIE DOMINAS S/T 10" (FABRIKNEU 1982)Manuel Goettsching has a big comeback these days with his legendary E2E4 album.But only few people know that he produced another completely improvised S&M-Monster-Analogue-Synth 10" by the name Die Dominas in early 1980 on the obscure Berlin-based label Fabrikneu.This pretty weird parody on Kraftwerk is a three piece EP, on which Rosi and Claudia Skoda work up imaginary "customers". Absolutely rare and the few hand-signed copies are of course already cult.

2./CLARA MONDSHINE - MEMORYMETROPOLIS (IC Records)Who exactly is Clara Mondshine? That nobody seems to know but theory proves Klaus Schulze, who..s Solo projects after Tangerine Dream often shred along the border of embarassment.Like many other examples, this thin border though often makes records so special.Memorymetropolis has only similarities in the way of production (that means lots of huge analog dinosaurs), otherwise this is pretty much the most schizoprenic and far-out album i can think of in the context of "Cosmic". That..s why i have to listen to it over and over again.

3./Vangelis - See you later (Gramophon, 1980)Another representative of uber-embarassing Synthesizer Doodleling of the late 70s is definately Vangelis. Hearing "Chariots of Fire", i immediately have to change the radio programme. Although at Radio Arabella i can imagine they still have that in their moldy playlist.Nevertheless, Vangelis did some extraordinary albums, like "See you Later", which is the best one in my opinion.From the balearic afterhours epic "Multi Track Suggestion" to the drawn-out "Suffocation" a track that is interrupted by a conversation in italian, each track is surprising, musically as well as stylistically.

4./Logic System - LOGIC (Toshiba-EMI, 1981)This Cosmic classic cut by Yellow Magic..s Hideki Matsutake should be re-released soon, it..s been licensed to so many Comp..s at the moment.Can i say that because of it..s naive and playful approach it..s the blueprint of Cosmic and far more, one of the best electronic records ever?Unfortunately only on Ebay at horrifying prices.Characteristic phrase on the backside: "If you don..t listen to this album, you can..t enjoy the essence of computer music".

5./Kissing the Pink - Naked (1983, Magnet Records)On old Baldelli and Loda tapes, there is often tracks sticking out from a 1980s production era that is not very glorious.Let..s take Frankie goes to Hollywood as a mark. Poppy studio-New Wave though wasn..t always bad, at least partly on this Kissing the Pink Album "Naked" it isn..t.Here, the VU-Meter is always between cult and uber-embarassing.But "Big Man Restless" became a Cosmic-hit and "Mr. Blunt" is my favourite humourous dancetrack รก la Heaven 17.

6./Conrad Schnitzler - CON (EGG / Barclay 1978)On Avantgarde electrician Conrad..s longplayer "CON" there are these hyper-rythmical minimal noises, there is these whispers and buzzing sounds. Basically, there is no real melodies. Thats why you can play the record on 33 or 45, just as you want to use these rythms. And exactly that was what Beppe Loda did: Modifying old Funk and Disco tracks with a touch of modernism.

7./Supermax "Fly with me" (Elektra, 1979)Here we have another example of wrong speeds used as a Cosmic style:"Ain..t gonna Feel" is so slow,, you can play it on 33 or on 45. Actually the LP is far on the embarassment side, because the rest of the album is a mix of Austro-Reggae and Hippie-Rock.But "Ain..t gonna Feel" has this acid bassline that makes sense, even more nowadays.And on the B side there..s a bit of Voodoo-Disco with "African Blood". But, please never listen closely to the lyrics!

8./Rah Band "The Crunch&Beyond" (RCA, 1979)This essential recording for every start-up Cosmic DJ has come from the advertising business in the late 1970s. Wonderful shuffle beats like hopping rabbits on the moon..."The Crunch" by Richard Hewson, the only musician on the album, became a very successful TV ad theme.

9./Riuichi Sakamoto "Left Handed Dream" (Plexus 1981)At last i would like to go back to the far east.Sakamoto..s cocooning asian-european melancholy and ultra-modernism was an important influence for the Cosmic stylemix. Especially the japanese vocals on this piece of art were really hip at Discoteca Cosmic.

Guest Mix for Cosmic Disco (UK)

Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket


The weirdo Beardo types over at Cosmic Disco have asked me to do a guest mix for them. So out of the musical depths I pulled out a two part journey called 'Cosmic Buccaneer.'

I am really proud of this mix I think it has a very interesting musical arc that encompasses a wide range of music but still staying thematically together. You decide.
Thanks to Baggy and the Cosmic Disco Crew for asking. Peace

Damita Junkie

Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket




Ok with all the hype on the Mark E's edit of Janet Jackson's R&B Junkie, I decided to source out the original. The edit is a limited edition of 100 pressed so there is no way I am getting my hands on that.
I personally am really feeling the original. I am really diggin her vocals. The is off of her 2004 'Damita Jo' release.

I see how his re-edit definitely takes the best bits, accentuates them, and elongates the track. So in lue of the limited edition edit here is the OG.
