You probably know Clone Classic Cuts which has been re-releasing a lot of great music in the past years. There is now a nice compilation which gathers a lot of the releases on one CD (or one download).

First Clone Classic Cuts compilation with some rare and influential dance tracks selected and remastered for future generations. At the time these where among the most cutting edge underground dance records around and its producers are critically acclaimed for their pioneering work. Now around 20 years after the original release, these tracks still sound totally fresh and are an influence for a new generation. This first compilation comes after 10 vinyl re-releases on the Clone Classic Cuts label, 10 releases which have been remastered from original masters found in dusty basements in Milan or Chicago, or remastered from one of the very rare original 12’’s with the best possible digital technologies.

Check out this music of Larry Heard (Mr Fingers) , Fockewulf 190 , Jackson Jones, Los Angeles TF, Tyree Cooper,Oppenheimer Analysis, Mike Dunn, Mystic (aka Rodney Bakerr), Gay Cat Park or Knight Action. it seems these pioneers were so far ahead of its time, you begin to wonder what the majority of the electronic-music producers have been working on these past two decades…

An essential timeless document!

I was particularly struck by the fractal emulation at the end. Oh how often have we zoomed in in Fractint?

Tijdens deze zesde Wooferland editie is er iets heel bijzonders te vieren, namelijk het 25 jubileum van een van de grondleggers van de house muziek DJ Per

Per begon in 1979 als jonge Amsterdamse dj met draaien op lokale feestjes. In 1986 nam hij het initiatief om in de Melkweg een zelfstandige dansnacht te beginnen. Hiermee introduceerde hij verschillende nieuwe muziek stijlen bij het Amsterdamse uitgaanspubliek en was hij één van de eersten die house in de clubs bracht. Als grondlegger van de legendarische The BeatClub feesten heeft hij een dikke stempel op de Nederlandse scene gezet. Met zijn eigen club avonden in de Melkweg, Paradiso en de Mazzo zijn er maar weinig Woofers die niet uit hun dak zijn gegaan op de plaatjes van deze pionier. Wie kan zich de Timemachine feesten nog herinneren?

Tijdens Wooferland kunnen we genieten van een speciale DJ set van Per waarin 25 jaar lang classics voorbij gaan komen geheel in de sound die typerend is voor deze legende. Op Wooferland start de viering van Per’s jubileum dat uiteindelijk eindigt met een groot feest in de Melkweg op 16 oktober.

Per: ‘Het iseen eer om mijn jubileum in te mogen luiden op Wooferland. Dit is altijd een van de leukste festivals om te draaien en steevast een van de hoogtepunten in mijn agenda. Het jubileum maakt het voor mij dit keer extra speciaal en ik ben nu al te bedenken welke platen ik straks allemaal zal draaien.’

As you know I am kind of a fan of The People’s Music Store. They have a nice collection of music, although I was sad to see that some stuff was available through iTunes and not through TPMS. Examples are:

• Go Bang! and E.S.P. stuff
• Lots of Undergroud Resistance material
• Tresor label stuff
• Congo Natty / Rebel MC things
• Finally, more and more content is becoming inaccessible for user from different countries. XL Recordings was wiped out for Dutch users for example

Well, who knows these things will get fixed. One nice feature that seems to be around the corner is an embeddable player (just like Bleep has).

“The B12 Records Archive” is a 7 volume double CD series collecting the entire B12 Records music archive from 1990-2005 including 96 tracks and 27 previously unreleased tracks.

There are four great B12 compilations out already. I recommend to check them out in: The Aciddome MP3 Collection.

More info:

• B12 Records online (also has a shop)

UPDATE: B12 Archive Volume 4 is now also available.

Aciddome has broken down. Trying to fix things as you read.

Some life saving tricks for moving between hosts, in this case from powweb to dreamhost.

Recursively download everything except when you already have the file:

wget -r -nc ftp://usr:pwd@ftp.powweb.com/htdocs/mixes/


Re-assign certain users to posts because they have another user_id number now in the db:

UPDATE `wp_table_posts` SET `post_author` = 1 WHERE `post_author` = 2
