That was Carl at his best. He went somewhat ploddy a couple of years after this.

Legendary Mark Spoon (Jam & Spoon)


The gorgeous Amelie Lens who always look like she is having a ton of fun.


Just about techno, but I could spend all night watching her dance.

Roderic, knew you were from Oz without even checking your profile, that tune was massive in Melbourne late 90s, crazy thing is it was from 93 I think, and it still doesn't sound dated nearly 30 years later.

I don't want to bang it every night on here, however, got a couple of tunes that apparently were massive in Melbourne and Adelaide in the 90s, they went down very well here too.





Edit: and Adelaide

The first one might have been before my time or something but the HMC track was everywhere - even DJ's playing in commercial clubs were sticking it on now and then when it was deep into the evening. I believe I've got a copy of it somewhere.

He and a couple of other lads had a weekly slot on the local Kiss FM - 9 to 12pm I think. He didn't like people ringing in to do "shout outs", preferring to call them "cheerios". He either loathed hipster talk or loved breakfast cereals!

That's a tune for a relaxing night in! If I remember correctly, the "fk you, you bd" sample was a caller to some talkback radio here (mid nineties?), eviscerating some politician live on air. That sample is the end of it and was followed by a kerrrunch as the handset was slammed down. There's another techno song which has it - the sample would play and was followed by something sounding like that sequence of four rising tones (like one octave up with each tone) when the telephone network pretty much just sts itself and drops your connection.

The debate about what constitutes the 1st true "techno" track is contentious, and is also hotly and tediously debated.

For many years Cybotron - Clear (1983) got the nod as the line in the sand, as it were, which always confused me, as the already posted "Alleys of Your Mind" preceded it by a few years. (This track is also contentious, I'll explain in a separate post)



then A Number Of Names – Sharevari (1981), got chinstrokers (think the chin is superfluous tbh) everywhere excited.



the digital age, YouTube and the easy dissemination of archival performances, such as the Kraftwerk one, soon threw the cat amongst the Pigeons.

My humble contribution, Deliha Derbyshire BBC Radiophonic workshop circa 1963:



I also don't doubt there were Neanderthals banging on stretched animal skins with large sticks, snapping branches to get that snare sound whilst ripping tremendous protein farts to dance along to.
