Liefhebbers van electro, deel II

Iemand bekend met Sid leRock - Written in Lipstick?

website Sid leRock
Voor mij één van de hoogtepunten van 2004;
een electo-rock achtige cd die je meeneemt in de diverse gemoedstoestanden van Sid leRock.
Dit album is gemaakt tijdens z'n vakantie in Canada en blijft van begin tot het einde enorm boeien.
Duister, vrolijk, freaky vocals, scheurende synths en ook nog een funky twist. Absoluut een aanrader!

Hmmm, wat voor leuks heb ik hier nou weer gespot:

Space Force cassette 1996



We speak of the year 1996. The grey nineties where slowly dissolving into more acceptable times and I had been dabbling around with some synthesizers and drummachines for a few years. I decided it was about time to put a few of those tracks on a proper DIY cassette release (remember kids, back in the days we used to have things called cassettes which were way cooler then the CDrs we have today) The tape which went by the name ´Space Force´ was mainly distributed to some friends and anyone who, I might thought, had the slightest interest in these tracks. Apart from a short review in the illustrious ´Opscene´ magazine´ and gaining a moderate amount of cult status with some local techno trainspotter nerds, the cassette faded into obscurity.

The MP3s are taken directly from the original cassette which is marinated in tape compression for almost 10 years.



Ja ik wil!

Kennen jullie Ulrich Schnauss? Misschien een beetje domme vraag, heb 'm net pas ontdekt. Voor de mensen die hem niet kennen, hij maakt een soort van kruizing tussen ambient ála Boards of Canada en shoegaze ala My bloody valentine.

Ja ik ken Ulrich Schnauss, ik heb 2 albums van 'm; Far away trains passing by en A strangely isolated place...heerlijke euforische/feel-good downtempo-muziek alleen heeft het geen donder met electro te maken

Uit een ander topic:

===============================ELECTRO SPECIAL===============================



Electro (also known as electro funk) is an electronic style of hip hop directly influenced by Kraftwerk and funk records (unlike earlier rap records that were closer to disco). Records in the genre are unabashed about their use of electronic and artificial sounds, taking this technological fetish almost into science fiction with many records about space travel and futuristic dystopias. Bronx, NY based artist Afrika Bambaataa's Planet Rock (1982) is one of the first electro records, using elements of Kraftwerk's Trans-Europe Express and Numbers. Bambaataa and artists like Juan Atkins group Cybotron, Planet Patrol, Jonzun Crew, and Newcleus went on to influence the genres of techno, ghettotech and drum and bass. Los Angeles artists Egyptian Lover and Arabian Prince gave birth to electro hop, a less funky, more bass-heavy West Coast sound, similar to 2 Live Crew and the Miami Bass scene. Detroit also has a unique style sometimes called "electro" which is more like a modern house-like techno. Common equipment in electro production includes drum machines, sequencers, synthesizers, and more recently laptop computers. A legendary drum machine, still used today, was the Roland TR-808.

Although the early 1980s were electro's heyday, there are a number of artists still making music in this style. Modern day electro artists include Adult, Ectomorph, and Anthony Rother.

Subgenres:

Electrotechno
Influenced by the early-'80s phenomenon of electro-funk but also reliant on Detroit techno and elements of ambient-house, Electro-Techno emerged in the mid-'90s when a full-fledged electro flashback hit London clubs, complete with body-rocking robots and vocoder-distorted vocals, inspired by original electro classics like Afrika Bambaataa's "Planet Rock." The actual fad -- spearheaded by Clear Records and led by artists like Jedi Knights, Tusken Raiders, and Gescom (masks for Global Communication, µ-Ziq, and Autechre, respectively) -- was quick in passing, but it inspired some excellent music during the latter half of the '90s, including the work of England's Skam Records, Sweden's Dot Records and, closer to the original sources, Detroit's Drexciya and Aux 88.

Technobass/Miami Bass
Mostly a phenomenon in Detroit (the techno side) and Miami (the bass side), Techno Bass is a fusion of electro, bass music, and techno with spartan production values and a retro atmosphere. In Detroit, the fraternal 430 West and Direct Beat labels are the home to the best techno bass acts (AUX 88, DJ Di'jital, Will Web, Octave One, Wild Planet) as well as the crucial compilation Techno Bass: The Mission.

Neo-electro
For several months in 1995, British clubs were afire with the sights and sounds of robots, body-poppers, and a revival of America's early-'80s electro movement. Though much of the attention was given to the old-school masters (Afrika Bambaataa, the Egyptian Lover, Newcleus), much of the influence for the electro revival had come from more recent sounds. Detroit acts such as Drexciya, Underground Resistance, and Ectomorph had begun looking back to electro, and Drexciya's multi-volume series of 1994 EPs were much-heard on the other side of the Atlantic. In Britain, Clear Records headed the revival hot-list, with singles from Jedi Knights, Tusken Raiders, Plaid, and Gescom (almost all were aliases for more well-known dance acts including Global Communication, µ-Ziq, and Autechre). Though the electro revival didn't last long as a British club trend, good records continued to be released (especially by Clear), and other labels, such as Skam, Musik Aus Strom, and Dot, progressed beyond the sound to create intelligent new music with heavy electro influences.

Oldschool Hiphop
Old School Rap is the style of the very first rap artists who emerged from New York City in the late '70s and early '80s. Old school is easily identified by its relatively simple raps -- most lines take up approximately equal amounts of time, and the rhythms of the language rarely twisted around the beats of the song. The cadences usually fell squarely on the beat, and when they didn't, they wouldn't stray for long, returning to the original pattern for quick resolution. The emphasis was not on lyrical technique, but simply on good times -- aside from the socially conscious material of Grandmaster Flash, which greatly expanded rap's horizons, most old school rap had the fun, playful flavor of the block parties and dances at which it was born. In keeping with the laid-back, communal good vibes, old school rap seemed to have more room and appreciation for female MCs, although none achieved the higher profile of Grandmaster Flash & the Furious Five or the Sugarhill Gang. Some old school songs were performed over disco or funk-style tracks, while others featured synthesized backing (this latter type of music, either with or without raps, was known as electro). Old school rap's recorded history begins with two 1979 singles, Fatback's "King Tim III" and the Sugarhill Gang's "Rapper's Delight," although the movement had been taking shape for almost a decade prior. Sugarhill Records quickly became the center for old school rap, dominating the market until Run-D.M.C. upped the ante for technique and hardcore urban toughness in 1983-84. Their sound and style soon took over the rap world, making old school's party orientation and '70s funk influences seem outdated. When compared with the more complex rhythms and rhyme schemes of modern-day rap -- or even the hip-hop that was being produced less than ten years after "Rapper's Delight" -- old school rap can sound dated and a little unadventurous. However, the best old school tracks retain their liveliness as great party music no matter what the era, holding up surprisingly well considering all that's happened since.

Electropop
The Pop version of Electro, or the Electro oriented version of Synth Pop, inspired by artists such as KRAFTWERK, AFRIKA BAMBAAATAA, and GARY NUMAN.
In the mid 90's Electro was recovered by artists like ANTHONY ROTHER, DJ Assault, Artificial Material, Dopplereffekt, and Will Web.
The lastest face of Electro-pop in the 21st century is called Electroclash.

Electroclash
he 21st century version of Electropop with influences from other styles such as Hip Hop, Punk, and Hardcore, the name that define this mix of electro and pop was born with the celebration of the 1st Electroclash festival in New York in October 2001, organized by the Mogul Electro Records, releasing compilations with artits like Fischerpooner, Peaches, Chicks on Speed, My Adult, Detroit Grand Pubas, W.I.T., A.R.E. Weapons, Crossover, DJ Assault, and Soviet.
Dee Jay Gigolos is probably the label which has most contributed to the definition of this genre, with artists such as MISS KITTIN AND THE HACKER and Zombie Nation.
Ano ther representative label of the style in Europe is Kitty-Yo featuring Peaches and Gonzales.
The NY Electroclash scene is located around the Berliniamsburg club which hosts regularly some of the most representative artists such as Book of Love, W.I.T., Avenue D, My Robot Friend, Hungry Wives, Morplay, Prance, Spalding Rockwell, Acrosome, Badd Inc., Misty Martinez, Bedroom Productions, Phiiliip, Xavier, and Scissor Sisters, and Djs like 2 many Djs/Soulwax, ARTHUR BAKER, Ladytron, DJ Team, Spencer Product, John Selway, Bolz Bolz, DJ Unknown, and Bill Coleman.

Hmm ja, inderdaad. Misschien heeft iemand die compilatie verzonnen en zo online gegooid .
