A mate of mine who has little interest in dance music (he likes his rap/hip hop crap) wants to come to Turnmills on NYE. I'm concerned that he doesn't really understand what the Chems will play. He's aware of the big tunes like HBHG and Star Guitar, but other than that I'm not sure he knows about techno.

My question is: Can you guys suggest 5/6 typical Chems DJ set tracks that I can play to him in the car tonight? Preferably not Chems tracks themselves, and preferably a couple of dark/minimal techno stuff.

There's a lot from what i've listened so far. I.e that track from the start of "In Glint" where it says "higher" and something with "... and go back". Very typical, heard it in several dj sets. And that track at minute 48, which i've heard often as well. Btw, does anyone know its name? Love that tune!!!

Ah, and Nude Night maybe . . .

yeh thats HIA by the chems, and the go back tune is a cut up they did of compulsion by milo and something else - ace tunes!



quite hard to select non chems tracks as a lot of the stuff they play are either edits or their own tracks, but heres a selection id recommend:



controversy - prince

sabres of paradise - smoke belch (david holmes mix)

woody mcbride - basketball heroes

freak - josh wink (dean coleman remix)

the galloping horse techno tune (still unknown!)

plasmids - tata box inhibitors (think thats the name :?)

Aphrohead- In the dark we live (Dave Clark 312 remix)

They also play

Vitalic - Newman

Soulwax - Miserable Girl (Nite version)

...

even better - just play him a chems dj mix like the centro-fly one off of the eff tee pee????

That's that (just for me) ominous HIA? I never had a clue of how it sounds like. Man, another treasure that attests my love for their music . . .Thanks mips!

Why that? Because it's that good or anything else?

Sorry mips, the track Csar was on about is the cut-up of DJ Milo "Return of the original artform" & Impulsion "Higher". I'll be playing that, no doubt about that!

Good call on Centro-fly, I think I've got that somewhere

Thats really cool youre converting somebody into chemicalism Mike ;)

I'm not much of a help - but we'll make him feel welcome on NYE thats for dure!

mike r burn you a copy of confront, in glint or paris set for him, then me have have a better idea.

I'll only have enough time to play him about 5/6 tracks tonight, and it's tonight so I don't have time to come get it :(

If he needs more convincing I'll take you up on your offer :)

yeah makes it interesting when we dj



"yeah chebbers where's the one that goes.....do dah fizz bang etc"



"erm. no idea what you're on about mate - do you know what colour the sleeve is?"



to add further confusion. we tend to give records our own names....usually based on a pun on the artists name or some random waffle.



we also do this with football players which confuses people who watch a game with us.

stuff they have been playing



switch a bit patchy

vitalic newman

claude von stroke the whistler

paul woodford erotiv discourse

soulwax miserbale girl

the shreikback bootleg

the don't fight control bootleg re edit



they haven't been playing the classics cut ups such as freestyle and sgt peppers.

Did anyone ever figure out what the "galloping horse" tune is? That's a chems classic, and what I need I think. Staple

Don't know if this post will be too late, but....



Don't play him anything at all and tell him that if he wants to come to Turnmills just to come with an open mind and with the intention of haveing fun. If he wants to have a good night he will dance to anything anyway so just leave it as that.







Or if you fancy a laugh just play a load of 60's Folk music and tell him that that is what all the dj's are playing at the moment, or at least the really fashionable ones are anyway

Yeah, but "galloping horse" was a nickname given to it by someone on this board (mippio, I think?). What's the real name, and who's it by?
