-- Original Message -- From: Simon Hindle [EMAIL PROTECTED] Which brings me to an interesting question for you all: What track have you listened to and not bothered picking up, only to subsequently hear it on a big system and then realise that you must have it IMMEDIATELY, to the point of even nicking it off the DJ? well it wasnt hearing it on a big system, it was hearing it played in the right place in a set that made it all make sense suddenly for me... the tune is spinna's remix of shaun escoffery's days like this. that track was brutalized here by all the nyc house type deejays and their sets always bore me to death, so it just sounded like any other NYC vocal house cut. then one day a friend of mine played it in just the right way where suddenly i realised that it was the f*cking jam. it took a while to hunt down, but i finally got it. i must have passed on that record 10 times while it was around. tom andythepooh.com
Re: (313) Carl Craig / Friday Question
interesting observation... i think the only dj i've heard play Angola is C2 hisself and i honestly don't remember how he played it. what's your prescription for how to mix into it? inquiring minds want to know. --- Thomas D.

Re: (313) Carl Craig / Friday Question
Also also A great track to mix out of Angola is 'Analord' by Luke Vibert, off the 95-99 EP. You have to pitch it up a whole heap, though, so best to burn it to CD (or pick up the new Lovers' Acid compilation on CD which has it). Thomas D.

Re: (313) Carl Craig / Friday Question

RE: (313) Carl Craig / Friday Question
Of the two mixes (both are good imo) the one I can mix with is the 'Get Down Dub'. http://www.discogs.com/release/141369 I've found it goes well with 'Minnia (The Queen's Theme)' by X-103. You can find that on here: http://www.discogs.com/release/1283 It worked in a set for me once and I'm into sharing, so enjoy.

RE: (313) Carl Craig / Friday Question
Funny you say that, that's the exact same thing that happened to me with that track. I thought it was just another shelter belter until I heard it outside in the park all hopped up. It's soo hot to me now. It's got this bounce that won't quit. And girls looove it. That happened with sa k' pase on trackmode. I had been hearing it forever, and never played it because it just sounded repetitive, but after hearing it on a rig! Wh that bassline does some unexpected things and moves the whole track around gorgeously. So yeah...it's a banger now. Mostly this happens to me with house records though. I'm pretty accurate with my techknow. Kamal K. Stoddard Turner Broadcasting Systems -Original Message- From: Thomas D.

RE: (313) Carl Craig / Friday Question
The first time that happened to me was spastik, back in day. Think I first heard it in a mix on a dodgy car stereo and I wasn't feeling it at all. Then I heard it in a club and almost poogazimed. Hmmm, nice word.

Then I heard it played out on a big system and I *understood*. The track is a magic spell! It never fails to get a crowd moving. I think it's the handclaps myself. Which brings me to an interesting question for you all: What track have you listened to and not bothered picking up, only to subsequently hear it on a big system and then realise that you must have it IMMEDIATELY, to the point of even nicking it off the DJ?
