Dad Trax: SL2 – Way In My Brain
In 1991 stealing bits of reggae and hip hop was all the rage thanks to the newfangled Akai S1000 sampler. Way In My Brain features a large chunk of Wayne Smith’s 1985 electro-reggae classic Under Mi Sleng Teng, which incidentally … Continue reading
Snub TV – KLF
You really don’t get music TV shows like this any more – you know, where a non-ironic journalist asks intelligent questions of someone interesting. I guess the closest thing would be the occasional Culture Show music item. Here’s the KLF … Continue reading
How To: Make Techno (UK Version)
Ah, the soothing tones of Fred Harris. The voice of so much informative broadcasting in the 80s. A quick Wikipedia trawl reveals he now resides in the broom cupboard of British Forces Broadcasting Service. This clip from the BBC’s Micro … Continue reading

Dad Trax: Baby Ford – Ford Trax
The 1988 Baby Ford album was the very first house/techno release that I ever owned. Baby Ford continues to occasionally make genius records. A more recent example would be his Chicken Store release on the best label of the noughties … Continue reading
Mark Archer (Altern8) – Frequency Remixes

Dadcast 6: Ambient Dads
A real blast from the past, I decided to do an ‘ambient’ mix. I don’t mean ambient in the sense of whale sounds and new age crystal bothering, I mean in the good old fashioned sense of a chillout room … Continue reading
Dad Noise: The Hoover
The first thing to say about the hoover noise is it sounds nothing like a hoover. It was a preset called ‘WHAT THE…’ on an adequate but otherwise unremarkable synth, the Roland Alpha Juno 2 (EDIT: also on the Alpha … Continue reading
Love Inc – R.E.S.P.E.C.T.
This tune is huge. It’s made for those moments when the lighting monkey is a bit drunk and trigger happy with the smoke machine, and then forgets to turn off the strobes. Boof. Mike Ink is a bit of an … Continue reading
Rhythmatic – Take Me Back
BASS. BLEEP. This tune still sounds like it just landed from space despite coming from Englandshire in 1990. From Network Records. For more of this peculiarly British and spooky take on house/techno music, see also early Warp tunes (most famously … Continue reading
