Here’s a link to an interesting piece from 6 Music about 30 tracks that have shaped dance music since 1988… yes it is that long ago since we’ve have this Dance Music culture with us.  www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/articles/5ZF19S8FTX9WJcnr5j9JF3x/30-tracks-that-shaped-dance-musicAn odd one or two aside these tracks, like Pacific State, Windowlicker, Little Fluffy Clouds, Papua New Guinea, LFO, The Man With The Red Face, Voodoo Ray, Born Slippy.NUXX, Belfast etc. etc. have pretty much influenced me musically.  Some of you may not like this sort of music – fair enough, but I though it was an interesting piece and I do know a few forum members like this stuff like me – enjoy.  |

Nice selections - shame they didn't go prior to 1988 so we could have also had some...
Northern Soul Funk classics e.g. James Brown, Maceo, Parliament etc Ska Dancehall Jazz RNB Sly and the Family Stone
etc etc

I have to admit I have heard of none of those! |

Unless LFO is a typo, and you mean UFO, then neither have I  Gene. |

In all seriousness you might well remember the track. It made the charts and the bass was really something on a decent soundsystem....

I was not a big raver or anything but remember that particular track as it seemed to be a cut above a lot of that stuff during that era. Mind you that entire chart does a good job of cherry picking the best stuff. Well up to the 2010s when I must admit I don't know the tunes at all. Burial is the last one I recognise

Interesting fact about it and Warp was they sold (licenced) their tracks to Rhythm King (Outer Rhythm) for £20 Grand in 1989 which on the surface wasn't a bad deal. Outer Rhythm then seemed to take all the credit when the Yorkshire Bass & Bleep scene took off and when LFO sold over 100,000 copies Warp realised they'd bern done a bit by the Rhythm King deal they'd signed. Then Nightmares on Wax, Sweet Exorcist, Tricky Disco etc. all sold big numbers too...  It almost finished off Warp but they with a bit of help from Mute's Daniel Miller got out the deal and went on to have a very successful label which is still with us. Rhythm King sort of faded away by the mid '90's... think they pulled a similar trick with Leftfield which prevented them releasing anything for 2-3 years too!  www.residentadvisor.net/features/3557 |
