hmm new to me records:
Jeff Mills - the divine ep - purposemaker jeff in the mode i like best, techno but not abrasive. changes of life (reprise) hints at the original but never gets there but instead plows a solid 313 tech furrow....reach is good on here too (in two flavors....the instrumental builds and has less of the bass), sounding a bit moodymann in a funny kinda way...(off key pianos sitting nicely in the mix) EPOD - the persuit - cocomachete best mix of the track is the coco dub....house with an organic feel with some male spoken vocal in it....this just plain rocks. as does the other ep i've got from cocomachete....must track down more of their output as they arehitting the spot for me....always seem to have a brennan green mix on these things but i never normally dig that feel. raheem hershel - gotta have the pokey - creme chicago jacking business in a trax way....combined with the normal sounds you get off the more elctro-disco stuff u normally see on this label. not a classic release as you could build this stuff on trax samples, but solid nontheless. shake - convalescence - frictional wicked 12 with nice hip-hop instrumental from shake on one side. the killer cut on this is the soundhack mix on the other side of "....like a dream", medium paced techno of the highest order with some of the choppiness you'd expect from soundhack but not over the top, begging for doubles! that's about it for now robin...
