I often wonder if the geeks who invented the first proper drum machines in the early 80′s actually knew what they were doing. I mean obviously they knew what they doing they were dead clever and everything, but when they were designing the sounds for these things, did they have any idea what would happen as a result? Was the 808 really the product of a secret government research program into the effect of low frequencies on the human backside? Were there stifled reports of men who looked like Beaker from the Muppet show turning up at clubs circa 1979, plugging a box in the bassbins and ticking clipboards while monitoring the reaction? I guess not if this drum machine is anything to go by. Surely if you wanted to invent a device to cold rock a party, you wouldn’t make the toms sound like a child kicking a plastic bin.

Steve Poindexter – Work That Mutha Fucka

But then if you were a black dude in Chicago in the late 80s you could probably make an incredibly soulful jacking piece of music out of a crisp packet. For an exemplary use of ‘Work That Mutha Fucker’ go check here for Luke’s Anger’s Tigerbass mix. There’s also wicked mixes on there by C.L.A.W.S., LL Cool DJ and er, me.

If you ever wanted to be reminded of that time you woke up still drunk in a Rio gutter in 2056, only to be marched over by a carnival of 606 wielding psychopaths.

Stereotyp- Jece Valadao (feat. Edu K And Joyce Muniz)

Every so often you hear a record that’s so indescribable and genre less that you find it hard to describe and put in a genre. This is one of those records, the idea of Brazilian grime/dubstep/dancehall/whatever makes so much more sense than the stop/start frustration of electro-with-bongos novelty baile funk but this is so much more that even that.

It must have been rough in the olden days before that eighties. Cholera, rationing and no bass. Boiled beef and carrots and no 808. Thankfully we don’t have to worry about that anymore.

Musical Mob – Pulse X

This paving slab of a record was the sound of MJ Cole joining the dole cue, the first blank canvas for London’s underprivileged youth to express how they really feel and not just encourage people to get into some ‘soulful’ designer staccato UK garage anthem. No pulse X, no Dizzee, no Dubstep and none of this……..
