Time to wind it down for the evening with some 90's Secret Knowledge — Sugar Daddy. Loving the "Out Of Our Brains On The 5.15 Mix"... Some chill time 😎

Do you like the Shamen (90's techno group)?
Do you like "Move every mountain"?
How about this 1991 US release with 6 remixes and the original samples so you can recreate these yourself at home 🤣🤣🤣

What's your favourite mix?

You guessed it.. another weird record from somewhere in Korea.

Another Hong Kong alleyway find… this time a US pressing released on Pyrotech records (in partnership with Suburban Bass). Contains "Fuck the law" on the B-side instead of the two bad mice remix (which I have on single sided orange 10" promo somewhere around here 🤣).

A sufficiently sophisticated output from an LLM is indistinguishable from one written by a human who didn’t bother doing their homework.

Another strange pickup in Hong Kong. This time from a roadside seller in 36° heat and 90% humidity.

I have the original, but this one is worth it even if just for the Kruder & Dorfmeister (K&D) down tempo/ trip hop style remix of Jazz Master. Such a cool track.
