Digitally unheard b-side from Australian pop group Do-Re-Mi next up.
Picked this up at a small vintage store in Point Lonsdale outside of Melbourne for cheap.
Despite most of Do-Re-Mi's output being pretty cheesy Australian 80s stuff, I took a punt on this.
Luckily it payed off with a more interesting b-side, taking influences from UK synth-pop sounds and bending traditional pop conventions.
Double upload of some lesser known cuts on Austrian label Grow! Records.
Ever since my friend William showed me this label I fell in love with the art, sound and in particular the price of the records.
Grow! released a bunch of EPs of Tech-house in the late 1990s from Austria, which capture the hypnosis of the early sound of the genre while carrying through some of the disco sampling that was prevalent in the European house scene at the time.
The first is a track off their second various artists compilation Grow! for it Vol. 2, by DJ Cartman a combination of all label heads that also produced as the Last Disco Superstars.
The second is from one of the label heads Christian Mahringer as Jeremiah on their second I-levels EP.
The first I-levels EP was my first Grow! record and will forever remain in my bag for the late hours.
I ordered the second EP for crazy cheap after hearing the B2 cut on the YouTube channel of legendary Japanese producer Mr. YT.
The track I have uploaded here, the A1, is as chaotic as it is euphoric, journeying into experimental techno but bringing in flashes of Detroit house as only Grow! could do.
Some radio I forgot to post about!
Show from last month, starting off slower and then bumping through with some house for four hours
