Fantastic Incidents, Erotic Dissidents
Tuesday, July 7th, 2009
You’re probably tired of me apologizing for my long periods without posting, but this time I’ll just hit you with some of the amazing tracks I’ve been compiling for the past few weeks.
Untracked is a UK-based label run by Steve Morris and Christopher Tubbs I have been following more and more closely for their slo mo house and disco edits. I first happened upon the label when I picked up Hot Coins’ You Can’t Pray For Your Soul 12″, which I highly recommend for those of you who love pounding funky loops from the sub 100 galaxy. Well it turns out Steve Morris and Tubbs operate an act of their own under the moniker Atlantic Conveyor and have been releasing material for a while now. I bought their Fantastic Incidents EP, which actually came out in 2004 and was recently repressed this year. But to be honest I couldn’t really tell the difference because these edits are superman fly. Here’s the first track which is a complete burner.
Now out of left-field, or more like Belgium circa 1988, comes and awesome groover that will set the night off like no other. Technically this track is New Beat, which was weird slower industrial/cosmic version of dance that melded with acid house pretty much solely in Belgium in the late 80s. Typified by lots of weird samples and effects, this track is definitely the funkiest I picked up (I picked up some other awesome tracks, but I haven’t ripped them yet so stay tuned). This track is by Erotic Dissidents and absolutely kills it. They loop a slowed down sample of Yello’s “Bostich” (I think) and grind it out under the raddest instructive vocals I’ve ever heard until the funky breakdown at 4:25. That’s the part that sends me off the deep end into a legitimate freakout.

Oh and check out the Yello video for “Bostich” just in case you havent seen it cuz it’s incredible.
