Metroplex Party Announced In Detroit!!!

This was posted on the web and brought to my attention by Scott Z in Detroit. Supposedly there will be some crazy parties goin on that Saturday night the same weekend. See you there:

In the Early 80's a group called Cybotron made some Experimental Music that had a very unique sound. In 1985, one of the members, Juan Atkins went on to start his own Record Label - the LEGENDARY METROPLEX RECORDS - the label that started TECHNO!

Diana Est by djchupacabras

Hope everyone is makin it through the holiday season. Haven't put anything up in a bit, so here's Tenax by Diana Est. I actually wasn't sure if I liked it that much when I first got it, but it grew on me. The vocals are freaky. There's a girl singing in Italian who doesn't sound Italian at all. Pretty funny stuff. Hope everyone makes it to 2010. Have fun.

$tinkworx Live @ Public Assembly 12/10/09  by  djchupacabras

A very special live set from none other than Downlow label boss $tinkworx (along with Minto). This was from Public Assembly on a cold December Brooklyn night. $tinkworx killed it as usual, but feel free to see for yourself… Look for his releases on Bunker, Delsin, Strangelife and others. This was a lot of fun and a big thank you to JT for letting me put this up for you guys. The recording is in mono but who cares. Enjoy!!!

One of my all time favorite tracks on Trax. Everyone knows how important Trax was in making Chicago House a staple both here and abroad. Along with other great labels like Mitchbal, Dj International Jessay and countless other labels they changed what people thought about dance music. Dj Speculator used to always pump this jam back a few years ago and it took me awhile to find a clean copy. I hope you like this as much as I do.

Classic Detroit track  (Just Want Another Chance). Not sure what year this one came out, but I still love this song. The underlying bass is so hypnotic and has that sad feel to it. Enjoy!

Junior Byron by djchupacabras

FINALLY realized that amazing bassline churning out of this track is none other than a 303. Here's a photo I took of mine last night. I tried to emphasize the area where you "transpose, add accent and slide". These synths are super fun regardless of what people say about them. True, they are way overpriced, but man that deep ass bass is really somethin. Dance to the Music.

Here's a fun track to kick off a long weekend here in the states. Being as we all need to use our phones to communicate, I hope you hold on tight to yours this weekend. The old telephone sound is so funny in this track. The vocals are hilarious too. Have fun.

Upcoming Show In Brooklyn...

Check it out, Legowelt AND $tinkworx on the same night in Brooklyn. Whoa, this will be a great show. Synthed out house, disco and boogie all night.  I forgot to put the date on the flyer, but it's DECEMBER 10th. $5 to get in with Speculator from WT Records, Ron aka The Falcon and myself. If you miss this one, you will be sorry. Usual party time as always. Hope to see you there.

Mr. Fingers by djchupacabras

Oh great. I totally put up the wrong photo and track. I grabbed another MP3 and posted this one by accident. This is still a great Finger Inc. track though. It's called "It's Over". Frankie Bones found this for me a long time ago. Now I have 2 copies somehow. Funny how that works. I like the lyrics a lot. Robert Owens sang on this track. This came out on DJ International back in 1986 or 87 I think.. Enjoy

Here's a track by South Africa's Blush. You might remember the old Parallax Corporations version on Viewlexx. This is off an old 45 I found years ago at a second hand shop in Barcelona. Sick bassline. I really like this one. Check it.
