Exclusive: Battery

September 8, 2009 / / Comments Off on Exclusive: Battery

Produced 6 years ago (almost to the day), Battery is an alternate version of Alkaline, a track released in 2003 on one of New York’s premier techno labels: Gotham Grooves. Alkaline was a B-side on the Funk Matter EP, which featured remixes of the title track by Agent Orange and Valentino Kanzyani and will be covered here more directly later, but for now we’ll just focus on the Alkaline‘s gentler sibling.

Unlike the released version which has a darker, mangled vibe, Battery is a funkier jam with a free style bassline. Until now, only a couple of select few DJs had access to this rare mix. Now you do too.

Exclusive: Upstanding Citizens present Funkadelic Sexy

August 28, 2009 / / Comments Off on Exclusive: Upstanding Citizens present Funkadelic Sexy

Unless you’re really in-the-know, it may come as a surprise that Upstanding Citizens is a project of old buddies Rus Deep (Mr. Preverted Groove himself) and Alek Biotic. But even if you were familiar with the duo and their track Cannibal Carnival featured on Rus and David Sambor’s 2003 CD Sounds Under New York, the only way you could have heard the follow up Funkadelic Sexy would have been during a Rus Deep or Alek Biotic live set.  But even then you wouldn’t have known it.

Well, here it is now, to set things straight.

Recorded in Alek’s Brooklyn studio in late 2003 and mastered shortly after, the track features the vintage Rus Deep tear-down and re-build, with the classic NYC Progressive House vibe.  Once again, original Wav file is included.

Eat it up. Yum, yum.

Panic Relapse

August 18, 2009 / / Comments Off on Panic Relapse

We’re going way back to year 2000 for this one.  Its one of the very early Alek Biotic productions, in fact, its number 11.  But of well over a hundred tracks this one stands out since its the one and only progressive trance track.

Since this genre wasn’t really my style this track was never shopped and subsequently never released.  Until now.

This track also features the awesome Nord Lead keyboard, as well as the Quasimidi Polymorph module, now long discontinued (the company folded around the time this track was made).  Drum programming and sequencing on the track was done on the legendary Akai MPC-2000 sampler workstation, and the track was recorded to DAT before mastering on the PC.

Here’s Panic Relapse.

Exclusive: Kill By Inches – D.N.A. (Down To 3hree Bonus Track!)

August 9, 2009 / / Comments Off on Exclusive: Kill By Inches – D.N.A. (Down To 3hree Bonus Track!)

Kill By Inches released Down To 3hree exactly 10 years ago, and while the disc is available on Amazon, iTunes and elsewhere, the song D.N.A. recorded for this release never made it to the disc.  I have to admit that listening to it now I’m not exactly sure why we left it off since it was one of my favorite KBI tracks, but we did nonetheless.  So, guess what?   We’re making it available here so you can listen to and download it right now!

The song, along with the rest of the songs from Down To 3hree was recorded in March and April of 1999 at Multisound Studios and produced/mixed by Dave Weiner.  This was a particularly difficult time for me since my hometown Belgrade was being bombed by NATO.

Like most other KBI recordings, the music was recorded live with no overdubs and vocals were recorded separately.  So here it is: D.N.A. presented unmastered, unedited, straight-from-the-DAT.  Let us know how you like it.
