Just so we understand the purpose of this blog...


While I have a deep and abiding love of many forms of music...

I've never understood or enjoyed:  the Grateful Dead, Miles Davis or the Dave Matthews Group.

While pondering that, listen to these!

Moby has a Kiki

Recent Moby remixes.... however... too much Moby alone with himself is not a good thing... so he invited some friends and had a Kiki. I really like this mix.

Lots and Lots of Tracks

I'm going to speed up the process a bit... if you like the same kind of dance-house-club-techno-rave-trance-bluegrass-80s-british metal-don't forget the psytrance... that I like... then you will probably enjoy these mini-mixes!

Chemical_Brothers_Mix_Medley_(KFB).mp3

some less experienced chemical classics.



Depeche_Mode_Medley_Mix2_(KFB).mp3

if you really like depeche mode, you'll probably like this.



Erasure_Medley_(KFB).mp3

if you really like erasure, you'll really like this.



Girls_Aloud_Mix_Medley_(KFB).mp3

I loves me my girls aloud, unknown in the usa, but one of my top 10 favorite groups!  I swear to God.  "something kinda ooh", "biology", "untouchable" and others are immortal classics of modern top 40 sugary dance pop!   This is my extended mix homage to the medleys, mixes and b-sides.



Fuck

featuring the todd, the cozart,  and a cat.  An original KFB classic - circa 1995 - contains my second favorite sample of all time (from my own answering machine).



Justin_Strauss_More_(KFB).mp3

not exactly a household name, more of a household sound. love his basslines.



Justin_Strauss2_(KFB).mp3

you gotta right-click these to download, btw.



Justin_Strauss3_(KFB).mp3

...and if you want even more justin strauss... personally, I never tire of this late-eighties phat dance/club/house sound.  well, that's not true...  but you know what I mean.



Kurt_Favorites_Vol_I.2_(KFB).mp3

yep, 80s classics I used to spin all the time.



Love_Dis_Appointed_(KFB).mp3

this and the following are identical except for the final track.



Love_Dis_Think_(KFB).mp3

the lead singer for information society is also named kurt.  he emailed me a couple times when I worked at tower.



ooga-booga-pt1-remaster.mp3

from the legendary sacramento party.



ooga-booga-pt2-remaster.mp3

I got these from Peter Fable, and felt they needed remastering.  ah, so much better!



Retox_the_Google_Party_(KFB).mp3

variations on a remix.



Retox_the_Poor_Synrise_(KFB).mp3

I like the titles.



Retox_the_Poor_XYZ_(KFB).mp3

and the opening is pretty nice.



Sexpress_in_My_Snake_Eyes_(KFB).wav

Nice tracks from s'express start this super mix.



shout-kfb-edit.mp3

an oldie but a goodie. works well at weddings.



Speculative_Devices_for_Boys_(KFB).mp3

no, I'm not gay.



Spock_Amino_Inception_(KFB).mp3

good, good stuff from the vcmg era.



Yaz_Peaks_Etc_(KFB).mp3

better mix than you might think from the title alone.

Harmony Commandment one and two



The ubiquitous (for me) "Great Commandment" mix by the great Justin Strauss makes an appearance.  It is my favorite bass line of all time.  Yes, of all the thousands, maybe tens of thousands of bass lines I have ever heard, it is my very favorite!  Don't ask me to explain why!  Sounds great in the car when it kicks in.  Although Daft Punk's "End of Line" from Tron is a new contender.  The Baby Ford track was at his 16th minute of fame?  The Ford Trax album was a classic, but his "Children of the Revolution" cover is my favorite track from him.

Harmony_Commandment_2_(KFB)

Love Dis!


Same mixes except for the final track.  Both start with "Love Comes Quickly" (Dub Mix) by the Pet Shop Boys, move into "Beat Dis" by Bomb The Bass (an early 80s club track that deserves far more respect), and then ending: "Disappointed" by Electronic or "Think" by Information Society.  I'm also including a Kurt's Favorites mix, it was done around the same time and shares many tracks.  Some of my favorite mixes.

-Retox the Geek in Me-


AC/DC fans will love the first two minutes and hate the rest... well, hopefully not!  Caution: may contain some naughty NSFW words, such as Oliver $' brilliant "Doin' Ya Thang", which asks the timeless question, "Are y'all motherfuckers having a good time?"

End -Line -Bass- Line-!



Some trony wordy petty shoppy ends with a bittersweet treat.  Hans Fuson always liked it when I mixed the Pet Shop Boys with The Bloodhound Gang.
