Sorry for the lateness of this throwback but I had a corp event today that went well into the evening.I think today’s throwback is actually the first house track I’ve posted. This was my favourite house track when I was like 16 (are 16 year old boys supposed to have favourite house tracks… ?)I had it on a mix I recorded from the Planet Rave radio show – one of the shows that introduced me to techno and house music. I remember my electronics teacher used to let us play music in class and I played this mix, much to the confusion of the class. Oh well. (I still miss the smell of electronics class though – burnt plastics and solder… mmm.)I listened to a fair bit of house via the radio at the time but was drawn to the loopier stuff so this track was right up my alley (Madame B “It’s Not Enough” also comes to mind). Although the track is fairly simple the part A and B thing keeps it from dragging on too much. And all the layering keeps the ears occupied anyways.
So here we go… the Todd Edwards dub mix of St. Germain “Alabama Blues” c. 1996:

P.S. Dr. Beardsley remix in the works – we’ll see how that pans out 🙂
