Dirty Blue Records NO.1

[matt303]

Has any one heard this tune...Dirty Bass 'Emotional Soundscape'?

What do you think?

Personally i think this a real breath of fresh air...uplifting techno! :D

[MARKEG]

have you got a link?

[meri]

Too right Matt... the track has a deep, rumbling sub-bassline and uses an emotional Byork sample. Sounds dodgy, I know, but it's a beautiful piece of work that could lift any techno set.

Why isn't there more stuff like this?


Mark, I don't know if u can hear tracks on the site, but check www.londontechno.co.uk for more info.

[log:one]

[matt303]

Apparently, Sasha's been playing this (dropped it at Glastonbury for sure). I know he's not techno... but he's always had amazing taste IMO.

Dirty Blue 2's out soon... It's got similar bass :D

[Si the Sigh]

can't even find number 1! :cry:

[meri]

Got a couple left Si. Let me know and I'll bring one to the Mini Sunburn on Friday.

[Si the Sigh]

Was a free launch party last thurs somewhere near Liverpool St with DB playing along with some other london techno stalwarts (which I missed :roll: ). There's another one on the 4 sept (Open Source Recordings launch night) with Dirty Blue and Pat Hurley doing a backtoback 'Dark House' Set, Seb marx live and Jeff Amadeus on 3 decks. Worth a punt methinks.

[anx]

the mastering on this track is terrible. i dont even wanna play it cause it sounds so bad compared to all the other tracks.

the other side is ok, the bjork track stinks, but im sure if u liked bjork then u would appreciate it maybe

I was going to say, the idea of the Bjork thing sounded a bit nasty.... can get with the stuff she did bith Mark Bell, but I doubt this would be my thing...

Definitely not nowadays agreed, but you could have made that statement about Sasha in around 89-91. For his across the board selection, it was actually hard to find a more eclectic club dj, who could mix the tunes properly.

[Jimfish]

dunno about sasha these days but *ducks and runs* i quite like digweed..

It was actually a sasha tape i found in an old barn when i was about 9 that got me into dance music..

Ok, well, My first release has caused a bit of controversy(?) all over the shop so let me clear a few things up.

The Bjork thing was an accident. I`d just sorted a distribution deal with Electronik Music Distribution, and Pat Hurley heard the Bjork tune (which I did mainly for myself), and he kinda bludgeoned me into releasing it.

And I can see why now, the tune has turned out to be a massive hit, and has paved the way for the continuation of the label (which is entirely self financed). Although I don`t think I`ll be doing too much of this sort of commercialism. Although underneath all the Bjork and stuff, it`s still grindy and grimey. Still for a first release by an unknown, it`s done alright and is on the 3rd re-pressing, although I`m not sure if getting caned by Sasha is cool or not??

The Label will continue with one side tech-house, and one side hard techno, and hopefully, the mastering is much better (you never stop learning). the next release is imminent. And in fact is up for pre-sales at bangingtunes.com

Who am I, well I was the nice guy who co-ran Pendulum Soundsystem in London, and has given up puttin on squat parties, as I just couldn`t keep fighting off the crack heads forever, and couldn`t stand by and let it happen either.

We have a club night "White Label" every other thursday in London aimed at promoting Producers and Record Labels rather than DJ`s.
Last week was cool, Sebastian Marx Live was Top. He is gonna be one to watch.
We are trying to give London a bit more techno, and generally just supporting the scene by giving producers an outlet.
I may well be getting on to Henry, Chris et all at some point in the future, although at the mo we are running the night completely free, so we can`t afford to pay em.

Next week we have
Getafix Records
G.H.A.R (coalesce)
James Kinetec (Stay up Forever, Power Tools)
Dirty Bass (DirtyBlue/Dirty Bass Records)
Rob Wash (Stinky Pink)
and White Label Crew

Full Details at http://www.londontechno.co.uk

Come down, we need your support to keep hold of the venue (which is really nice)

Anyway take it easy folks and
