Bleep Radio Show # 65

Gear LP 2000]
If only everything could be a Bebop, the world would be a better place.

02 - Quick & Smart "Eyko" Nerven 24 [Whacksel EP 2005]
This is one of my favorite records to abuse people with. the time signature is virtually stuck at 4/4 the world over in Techno dance clubs it would seem. This confuses people quite quickly. It just so helps that it's a fantastic track to boot. On Coin Operated 02 there's a more easily played remix that also features tons of old school rave samples and a punishing rhythm.

03 - Cannibal Cooking Club "Tea-r-Time (Reche & Recall's Teatime Is Over Remix)" Cannibal Cooking Club 07 [Recooked Volume 2 EP 2007]
When I first learned of this I so desperately hoped for the original or at the very least a repress of Tomas Nordstrom's remix from the Chan'n'Mikes EP. The original is fantastic. Such a simple riff does and yet it does my head in everytime. I'll own it someday!

04 - Armando "100% Of Dissin' You" News [Serious Beats EP]
A classic Djax jam, brought back to life several times over via various repressings and licenses. Despite being re-released every couple years on a different label, it's still hard to locate. I kept my eye out for the original for years and years and finally said screw it. Bought a Serious Beats EP. Haven't looked back.

05 - NDK " Any Questions" Kugelbox 04 [Crash Course Volume 3 EP 20064]
I absolutely love this track. Unfortunately it's a little too intense for most places around here to play out in. I've tried working up to it about 3 times now and each time I've gotten looks. Not the good kind. Too much tweak for the local folk still. That just means I've still got work to do though.

06 - Tommy-T & Bobbylicious "Old Friends We Remember" Shed 04 [Cursor EP 2004]
Tomas Nordstrom and Wilhelm Rosen bust out some stomp box distortion and gliding basslines for this badbwoy. Two of the tracks on this EP are dirty enough to cause cowlicks to spontaneously appear. The other two tracks....well, you'll see the cowlicks coming.

07 - Lief Ryan "Give Over" Iron Oxide 04 [Las Vegas Of The North EP 2005]
As I mentioned last week when I played the other side of this record. Great record! Lief does the low end proper. But it's not just there for the sake of ebing there, it's used and used well.

08 - Paul Birken "Spitoon Platoon" Audio Textures 08 [Storm Serge EP 20064]
Pual Birken has quickly ensnared me in his grasp. it seemed for years there was little to nothing coming from his camp. Suddenly with little to no warning...a whole whackload of Eps like this. A whackload of re-releases of his older stuff including some gems that go for big bucks and some unreleased stuff that will go for big bucks down the road. 100% Techno. In all it's various guises

09 - Lusinda & Mark Hawkins "Can You Count" Victim 05 [Homage EP 2006]
The only thing missing from this track is more of the tweaked out synth lines that I love Mark's stuff for. The vox makes up for it, but I still miss the tweak. Mark and Lucie together seem to work well. This isn't the first track they've done together and I hope it wont be their last.

10 - Jamie Lidell "C-Note" Mosquito 08 [Freakin The Frame EP 1997]
Jamie's first record?? I didn't know that, but Discogs says it's true. It's hard to believe this is where it all started. I don't think he's ever done the same thing twice has he?

11 - Luke's Anger "Blockumentary" Victim 05 [Homage EP 2006]
I can't get enough of Luke's stuff. When I play out in these here parts where the sort of Techno I love isn't really well known, I know all I need to do to grab people's feet is play some Luke's Anger. All of it strides the line between known and unknown. Using rhythms and patterns that don't confuse the newbs, but in sly and subtlety deceiving ways. They think they know what it is and before they know it, they be jammin! Secret weapon material. Although i don't keep secrets.

12 - NDK "Beatdisaster" Miditonal 064 [We Come From Da East Volume 1 EP 2005]
Another NDK gem, it's not quite as intense as the above track. This one is definitely safer. Safe doesn't mean boring though. It's a crazy old school sample, beat frenzy.

13 - Midiotz "Blip Blip (Paul Birken Rework)" Animal Trax 01 [Blip Blip EP 2007]
I bought this record for the Paul Birken track and I've only listened to the Paul Birken track so far. I'll probably stop playing the record and stow it away in the shelves after a few months, still without having listened to the rest of the record. It's just how it goes sometimes.

14 - Fugo "Distroy Our Habitat" Neue Heimat 24 [Robots Engaged In Bondage EP 2004]
I always forget about this EP. 3 of the 4 tracks are worthy of being turned up to 11. This one is my favorite, but only by a slim margin. I think I prefer this EP over everything else Fugo has done. Not to say the rest is bunk. Quite the contrary! The Mercurochrome stuff is aces as well. Hunt it down and play it loudly.

15 - Lusinda & Mark Hawkins "Save Me" Victim 04 [Influences EP 2005]
Another Mark and Lucie. This one is from a whole Ep they did together. It's a more focused and driving Ep than the one the Counting track above is on. It actually reminds me...have I ever heard any solo Lucie??? I can't remember. Maybe it's time to dig around.

16 - Polaris "Arse Magic" Sonic Groove 96402 [The Encryption Factor EP 1996]
Ah, the old Neil Landstrumm Bleep and Nipple Tweak days with Armani-isms thrown in for good measure. Pure ghetto rhythm track bleepage. I can never decide whether I like this Ep better than the other Sonic Groove Ep he did. They both have their bits of magic about them. I guess they both share a spot. This one has the drum funk while the other sports a bassline heavier style.

17 - Joey Beltram "M-Yard" Tresor 35 [Sirius LP 1995]
I think everyone knows of Joey Beltram. Unfortunately not enough people know of his good material. He did SO many great songs and records in the past that it makes me hang my head whenever I hear his new stuff. I personally wanted to string him up when he released that Tresor EP under his old Code 6 name. It should have been left at the three earlier EPs that rocked.

18 - Marc Acardipane "Touched By Sound" Adrenacrome 3-64 [Untitled EP 1998]
I don't really know much about this guy or the label. To tell the truth I don't even know where the record came from. It was probably a used bin purchase years ago. Anyone care to share some background?

19 - Justin Berkovi "Neon" Clone Vinyl 05 [Fast-Wide EP 1998]
I know this one was a used bin purchase for sure. It's a Berkovi, who I've always felt was hit or miss. I think he needs someone to tell him which of his tracks are good enough to warrant release. He seems to make odd selections at times. I know he's capable of truly good records. I just wish I saw more of them.
