this is lovely:
Louie Vega feat Unlimited Touch - I Hear Music In The Streets
Vega's cover / remix of an old 80s disco record. he released this in late 2020, a few months after original bassist Sandy Anderson died of covid.
Vega gathered the remaining band members who all perform on this version. a nice tribute to their departed.

in the beginning, acid did not exist.
Phuture - Acid Tracks
imagine hearing this the first time in a dark club. when nobody had ever heard anything like it before. surely the roof would have been torn off the place.
mind. blown.
it's not a song, it's brutal, it's incredible. one of the most important records of the last 50 years.
Acid Tracks
on the flip of Acid Tracks was this:
Phuture - Phuture Jacks
much less well-known than Acid Tracks i guess. not even sure i heard it many times before. but this has more of a groove / funk than the rawness of the a-side.
Phuture Jacks
also on the b-side of Acid Tracks was this:
Phuture - Your Only Friend
dark, frightening, melancholy. vocals imagine cocaine talking to the listener. "in the end, i'll be your only friend".
Your Only Friend
love this:
Cinthie - Roberta Johnson
pianos like it's 1990 ❤️
Roberta Johnson
this is cool:
Jamie Jones & Baby Rose - Rolling Thunder (Franky Rizardo 'Day' Remix)
Rose's vocals really give a hint of Nina Simone here, very nice

Jonas Blue & Malive - Edge Of Desire (Jazz-N-Groove Club Mix)

Jonas Blue & Malive - Edge Of Desire (Jazz-N-Groove Club Mix)
heard this on the radio last night:
Maurice Joshua feat First Sundays - Fly Away (Tedd Patterson Organ Solo)
like, almost shockingly good. the funk, the organ, the hints of gospel. everything just sounds so good.

Robert Hood is the godfather of minimal techno
in the early 10s, awakened by a religious vision, he produced a few gospel-style house infused with his minimal techno vibes under the alias Floorplan
in the late 10s he revived the alias, along with his daughter Lyric
here's a new release:

Frankie Knuckles presents Director's Cut starring Inaya Day - Let's Stay Home (A Director's Cut Classic Club Mix)
Inaya's vocals are absolutely gorgeous
today i learned she's the singer on the classic 98 hit Horny
but this is on a whole other level as a vocal performance, more like r&b or something, just fantastic, the way she makes the melody from her voice, magnificent ❤️

Xantastic@picard what have I told you about posting bangas? stop doing it! :), this is awesome! I live for records like this, and oh, she was the vocalist on that moose t track weren't she?
@cordova5029 can't help it sorry 😂 it is fantastic though right
She was yeah, made a name for herself since then I think! Something about these vocals though, I dunno how to describe, it's like they're a loop or something, the way instruments are normally looped. I dunno, her singing here fascinates me though.
@cordova5029 i think maybe something about how the end of the lyrics flows right back into the start or something? not really sure, it just feels so good to listen 😀
@cordova5029 maybe you will like this one too:
