Seba "This Is Our House"

I wanted to post this mainly because it samples this



This isn't the first time a Drum N Bass producer paid homage to Larry Heard/Chicago Trax/House music.



But to get nerdy/technical the sample on Doc Scott's record sounds like it's actually taken from this (with the "Can U Feel It" acapella "in the beginning" of it, and I'm thinking this to be true because of the "phase one" and "phase two" vocal samples).



Which brings us back to Logic's "The Final Frontier" being based around a sample of Mr Fingers "Can U Feel It".

And the cycle continues...

Loin Brothers "Garden of Vargulf" EP

Pioneers of the Outback Disco/Agircultural House movement triumphantly return with this future classic 4 tracker.

"Vargulf, the wolf who slaughters for pleasure, lures you deep into his private oasis with Sydney bush bashers The Loin Brothers providing the sound track. The original mix is a Cerrone-esque disco odyssey featuring a rolling bass line and orchestral strings which slides into a howling guitar solo climax. The Acid Re-Rub expresses the will of Vargulf through sweaty acid lines, storming piano stabs peaking with a frantic instrumental feeding frenzy.

Garden of Vargulf is the much anticipated follow up release from The Loins’ 'Heavy Helmet', which featured a remix by Mock N Toof. Heavy Helmet caught the attention of artists such as Aeroplane, Ewan Pearson and Ivan Smagghe, with Smagghe featuring the remix on his Live at Robert Johnson mix."

Dinosaur L "Go Bang" Walter Gibbons Unreleased Mix

Taken from Strut Records Walter Gibbons Jungle Music compilation

Ffrom the Strut webiste;

"Walter Gibbons remains one of the most important and unheralded DJ / remixers in New York dance music history, a pioneer of reel to reel edits and the art of the remix and a tangible link between early hip hop and disco through his quickfire turntable skills developed during the mid-‘70s.

At his famed residency at Galaxy 21 (alongside a then young percussionist, Francois Kevorkian), Gibbons perfected his turntable prowess, mixing two copies of records seamlessly at a similar time to Kool Herc’s famed block parties across town in the Bronx in 1975. He was among the first to make his own reel to reel edits of tracks, extending breaks and restructuring tracks specifically for the dancefloor. As a direct result, he was the first DJ to be granted access to multi-track tapes as Ken Cayre’s Salsoul Records brought him in to re-work Double Exposure’s ‘Ten Percent’ in ‘76, a mix that would set the blueprint for disco, the 12” format and all future dance music mixes.

Gibbons would become a prolific remixer for Salsoul and developed a style his contemporaries called ‘Jungle Music’, a raw, uncompromising approach to DJ-ing and mixing which often extended tracks to 10 minutes plus with tribal percussion breaks and off-the-cuff, unexpected production touches. This compilation focuses on some of the more adventurous and ground-breaking mixes that Gibbons produced during the disco era including a freeform treatment of Dinosaur L’s ‘Go Bang’, Paradise Garage favourite ‘You Are My Love’ by Sandy Mercer and underground disco rarity, ‘I’ve Been Searching’ by Arts & Craft.

Into the ‘80s, Gibbons continued to break new ground. One of his recognised classics, ‘Set It Off’ by Strafe, fused electro, disco and New York post-punk in a genius re-work, later reprised on the proto-house version he recorded as Harlequin Fours with a young Barbara Tucker on vocals. He also worked with Arthur Russell during the mid-‘80s and became one of the only remixer / producers that Russell would trust with his work. Gibbons’ mixes of Indian Ocean’s ‘Treehouse / School Bell’ and Russell’s ‘Let’s Go Swimming’ are now acknowledged classics. We feature here the exclusive unreleased Russell track ‘See Through’, a brilliant minimal electro piece.

Walter Gibbons found religion and had stopped producing by 1986, although he continued to DJ with a much heavier slant towards gospel. He died of AIDS-related illness in 1994. This is the first multi-label compilation of his work to be released and features rare photos and a biography by Tim Lawrence, author of ‘Love Saves The Day’ and the recent Arthur Russell biography ‘Hold On To Your Dreams’."

One half of Organized Konfusion makes a rap hands worthy re-entrance. Taken from a somewhat newly released EP titled "Get Off The Playground". The "380 Proof" Remix is also worth mentioning.

Syclops "Fairlight Sunrise"

Maurice Fulton fans it's a new Syclops EP, and it's mysteriously titled "Syclops EP". Originally released in June I had problems downloading "Fairlight Sunrise" (I would only get 2 minutes of the song), but a couple of months and at least 4 attempts later I am glad to report that the issue has finally been fixed.
